10 Consumer Discretionary Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/grpn#NASDAQ">GRPN</a>) has seen its stock decline 25.2% year to date (YTD) against the Zacks Internet-Commerce industry&#39;s growth of 22.9%, the broader retail sector&#39;s return of 19.4% and the S&amp;P 500 index&#39;s rally of 20%.
GRPN, which has emerged as a two-sided global marketplace company, has been suffering from its weakening momentum in the international market. Unexpected site stability issues related to its cloud migration project have also been heavily affecting the company&#39;s performance.
Groupon&#39;s business model makes it heavily dependent on daily deals, which is a major headwind. Since most of the offerings are consumer discretionary products, demand is heavily dependent on macroeconomic conditions. Given this, the ongoing market uncertainties, persistent inflation, looming recessionary fears, changing consumer demand and spending patterns are dampening the company&#39;s near-term prospects.
<h2>Year-to-Date Price Performance</h2>
<img alt="Zacks Investment Research" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/articles/charts/40/80256.jpg?v=610392595" style="border-style:solid; border-width:1px" />
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
GRPN&#39;s bearish guidance is a negative. For 2024, the company expects revenues between $495 million and $515 million, indicating a year-over-year change between (4%) and 0%. The Zacks Consensus Estimates for 2024 revenues is pegged at $514.51 million, implying a year-over-year decline of 0.1%.
The company operates in a highly competitive market, wherein it faces significant competition from the likes of Yelp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/yelp#NYSE">YELP</a>), Rakuten, Travelzoo (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tzoo#NASDAQ">TZOO</a>) and Wowcher.
Groupon&#39;s solid momentum in its marketplace platform and strength in its e-commerce business model are major positives. Its large-scale global operations and growing relationship with third-party merchants reflect the company&#39;s upside potential, which bodes well for its long-term prospects.
Given the YTD dip in GRPN shares, investors are questioning whether this is the right time to buy the stock. Let us explore this in more detail.
<h2>E-commerce Strategies to Drive GRPN&#39;s Prospects</h2>
Groupon, through its e-commerce platform, offers numerous deals that can be accessed by users anywhere at any time.
GRPN&#39;s strategy to build a trusted marketplace, wherein customers purchase local services and experiences, is a major positive. For this, the company&#39;s growing efforts to build long-term relationships with local merchants to strengthen its inventory selection remain noteworthy.
It strives to deliver enhanced customer experience through inventory curation and improved convenience in order to boost purchase frequency on its platform.
To strengthen the platform, the company is lifting restrictions on its deeply discounted deals and is enabling customers to purchase such deals more than once to improve the frequency and drive growth in billings.
Growing momentum across the North America region has been driving growth in the company&#39;s Local segment, which contributes the most to GRPN&#39;s total revenues and remains crucial for its e-commerce business. In second-quarter 2024, Local revenues were $114.1 million (92% of total revenues), driven by North America Local revenues, which grew 7.3% year over year.
Groupon&#39;s long-term prospects rest upon its ability to offer more innovative products and build a broader Local e-commerce platform.&nbsp;
The company&#39;s strengthening supply drivers for North America Local are tailwinds. Groupon is witnessing growing traction among large enterprise merchants, thanks to expanding 
relationships with existing partners, and the addition of brands to the platform.
GRPN&#39;s initiatives to remove lower-quality deals from its site that do not align with the brand promise are a plus. Groupon also made substantial progress in curating its deals, with an enhanced presentation, improved deal copy and better images.
Solid demand for family-friendly activities, ranging from trampoline parks and bowling alleys to amusement parks and water parks, is another positive. The company expects to see continued growth in these areas in the days ahead.
Growing momentum in Groupon&#39;s latest initiative called Flash Sale, which was tested first in first-quarter 2024 with one enterprise merchant, is noteworthy. The Flash Sale concept boosted its performance and, hence, the company expanded this program in second-quarter 2024, running over a dozen flash sales with existing merchants to drive performance and boost engagement on its site. Although the initiative is fresh and new, it reflects the company&#39;s potential to expand its business by developing products to cross-sell and up-sell into its supply base.
Groupon&#39;s AI initiative is a major plus. AI integration has enabled it to improve the copywriting of its deals and deal creation process. It leverages AI on projects in product and engineering to improve deal recommendation and quality assurance. Improvements in enterprise sales organization and process changes, combined with value proposition changes, continue to contribute to growth in its enterprise accounts.
<h2>Upward Earnings Trend Paints Bright Picture for GRPN</h2>
Investors are turning bullish about Groupon&#39;s upside potential, which is reflected in the upward revisions in earnings estimates.
For 2024, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at 47 cents per share, whereas the company reported a 2023 loss of 52 cents. The estimate has been revised upward by 56.7% over the past 60 days.

<h2>Attractive Valuation: A Silver Lining for GRPN</h2>
Groupon is currently trading at a discount with a forward 12-month Price/Sales of 0.7X compared with the industry&#39;s 1.72X and lower than the median of 0.84X. This indicates an excellent opportunity for investors.

Groupon Shares Decline 25.2% YTD: Should You Buy the Dip Right Now?

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">China Brings Out The Big Guns&nbsp;</h3>
As ZeroHedge reported on Thursday, &#8220;<a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/chinas-bazooka-moment-arrives-here-are-3-most-important-message-xis-shock-and-awe-politburo">China&#8217;s Bazooka Moment</a>&#8221; has arrived. China&#8217;s expanded stimulus measures include:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>A September politburo meeting focused on economic measures. According to&nbsp;Goldman strategist Lu Sun, economics is rarely the focus of a September meeting, so this is extraordinary.&nbsp;</li>
<li>China issuing&nbsp;¥2 trillion in government bonds (equivalent to 1.7% of its GDP), with half of those proceeds earmarked for consumption-related subsidies.&nbsp;</li>
<li>China injecting&nbsp;¥1 trillion into state-owned backs to boost their Tier-1 capital.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
In light of that, here are four bets on China we&#8217;ve placed in the Portfolio Armor trading Substack, starting with a brief update on the one I mentioned here earlier this week.&nbsp;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Four Trades That Could Benefit From China&#8217;s Bazooka Moment</h3>
Qifu Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QFIN#NASDAQ">QFIN</a>). This is essentially the Chinese version of Lending Club (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LC#NYSE">LC</a>). Our trade here was buying the $25 strike calls on QFIN expiring on January 17th for $2. Those were trading for $4.70 as of Thursday&#8217;s close, so you might want to go a little further out of the money if you are buying now. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-chinese-fintech"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="833" height="732" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231452/Trade-Alert-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1515" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231452/Trade-Alert-1.jpg 833w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231452/Trade-Alert-1-300x264.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231452/Trade-Alert-1-768x675.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 833px) 100vw, 833px" /></a></figure>
X Financial&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XYF#NYSE">XYF</a>). Like QFIN, X offers a peer-to-peer lending platform in China, but X also offers other consumer financial products such as insurance. We bought the underlying shares on this one at $3.95 earlier this year. It closed at $5.45 on Thursday, but probably still has more room to run with the stimulus tailwind.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-china-update"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="826" height="775" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231700/Trade-Alert-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1516" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231700/Trade-Alert-2.jpg 826w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231700/Trade-Alert-2-300x281.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26231700/Trade-Alert-2-768x721.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px" /></a></figure>
Hello Group Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOMO#NASDAQ">MOMO</a>). This is a profitable Chinese social media company, which includes a dating app similar to those of&nbsp;America&#8217;s Match Group, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTCH#NASDAQ">MTCH</a>).&nbsp;It also has non-dating apps related to karaoke, etc. This might be the deepest value of the names mentioned here so far, as it currently trades at 0.83x tangible book. Our trade here was buying the $7 strike calls expiring on January 17th for $0.70. Those were trading at $0.85 as of Thursday&#8217;s close.&nbsp;
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-top-names-aee"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="833" height="736" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26232014/Trade-Alert-3.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1517" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26232014/Trade-Alert-3.jpg 833w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26232014/Trade-Alert-3-300x265.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26232014/Trade-Alert-3-768x679.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 833px) 100vw, 833px" /></a></figure>
PDD Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>). This Chinese company combines elements of America&#8217;s&nbsp;Amazon.com, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and&nbsp;Groupon, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GRPN#NASDAQ">GRPN</a>). Our trade here was buying a $140-$145 call spread expiring on December 20th for $1.60. As of Thursday&#8217;s close, the midpoint on that spread was $1.10. To be honest, I had mentally written off this trade after the company&#8217;s weak guidance last quarter, but it spiked 13.57% on Thursday. Despite that, it still looks cheap, with a valuation rating of 9 (out of 10) according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.chartmill.com/stock/quote/PDD/fundamental-analysis?a=221937">Chartmill</a>.&nbsp;

<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><a href="https://portfolioarmor.substack.com/p/trade-alert-when-others-are-fearful"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="828" height="730" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26232300/PDD.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1518" style="width:624px" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26232300/PDD.jpg 828w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26232300/PDD-300x264.jpg 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/26232300/PDD-768x677.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px" /></a></figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">What Happens When The Effects Of China&#8217;s Stimulus End? </h3>
Each of those names should benefit at least as long as the tailwind from China&#8217;s stimulus measures lasts.&nbsp;
If you think ZeroHedge&#8217;s prediction below is correct, consider exiting after PDD&#8217;s earnings in two months.&nbsp;

$21M Bet On Comstock Resources? Check Out These 3 Stocks Insiders Are Buying
Although U.S. stocks closed higher on Friday, there were a few notable insider trades.
When insiders purchase shares, it indicates their confidence in the company&#8217;s prospects or that they view the stock as a bargain. Either way, this signals an opportunity to go long on the stock. Insider purchases should not be taken as the only indicator for making an investment or trading decision. At best, it can lend conviction to a buying decision.
