Moat

53 /100

Moderate moat

How hard Groupon's competitive advantage looks for rivals to wear away, judged from 10 years of its own filings: returns on capital, pricing power, profit durability, cash conversion and discipline.

  • Returns on capital 20 / 20

    Cash operating profit has been a median 22.1% of total assets over 10 years.

  • Pricing power 12 / 20

    Gross margin has been a median 73.0%, moving by 19.6 percentage points (standard deviation) across 10 years.

  • Durability 10 / 20

    Operating margin has been a median -0.7%; its worst year was -19.3%.

  • Cash conversion 8 / 20

    Free cash flow was positive in 7 of 10 years, at a median 1.5% of revenue.

  • Discipline 9 / 20

    The diluted share count rose 47.2% over five years; stock-based pay has been a median 3.2% of revenue.

AI disruption exposure: Medium. In this industry, AI could change how the product is made or sold, without replacing the core asset. The score above includes a 5-point deduction for that exposure (58 before it).

A rules-based reading of reported figures, not a forecast and not investment advice. How the score is built: methodology.

Free cash flow is cash from operations minus capital spending. Growth is left blank when last year's figure was a loss or under 2% of revenue. Share counts and EPS are restated for stock splits. A dash means the company didn't report the figure.
