Groupon operates online local commerce marketplaces that connect merchants to consumers by providing goods and services, generally at a discount. Consumers access those marketplaces via its websites, primarily localized groupon.com sites in several countries. Co.'s operations are organized into two segments: North America and International. Co. provides goods and services via its online marketplaces in three primary categories: Local, which includes offerings from local and national merchants, and its relationships with local and national merchants, including advertising; Goods, which sells merchandise inventory; and Travel, which features travel offers at both discounted and market rates. The GRPN stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the GRPN stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2015 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the GRPN annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
