Groupon’s revenue of $617.40 million for the second quarter of 2018 was also a blow to GRPN stock today. It’s down from the company’s revenue of $662.62 million that was reported in the same period of the year prior. GRPN’s revenue for the quarter also couldn’t match analysts’ revenue estimate of $632.46 million.

The company also notes that it is expecting cash flow for the year to be $200 million. This excludes any amount paid to IBM (NYSE:IBM) over the lawsuit between the two companies.
