I should add my view which is I think this is typical of analysts who wanted EPS now vs. a company who's viewing the long term, bigger picture. Taking a little short term pain to create a more solid and viable entity. It's probably smart to let the dust settle. I doubt there is any hurry but I could be wrong and this might pop ... If the company can push out EPS growth for 2 or 3 quarters to create businesses who can grow the bottom line more rapidly within a year, it's worth the "growing pains", IMO. Not to mention the stock has already dropped almost $4 from it's recent peak. Also, many acquisitions take time to gel and those who weren't expecting some temporary trouble after the latest moves were foolish. If your target is a few years out, I'm speculating that GRPN is a pretty good bet here. Keep in mind that there are many who are still short the stock, over 8% at last count, and no doubt many more who shorted after hours on the total gaming of the stock....ramp to 12 then crater under 9.
