Following Friday’s 18% share price gain in reaction to Groupon’s earnings, its shares are climbing higher once more after JP Morgan upgraded the stock from Underweight to Neutral with a $48 price target.

JP Morgan analyst Douglas Anmuth said he expects Groupon’s growth to continue in Q2 with a more robust recovery in the second half of the year.

Anmuth stated that they are “encouraged by GRPN’s efforts here as it looks to build inventory and modernize the marketplace.”

Groupon’s stock is currently trading over 23% higher at $53.64 after closing Friday’s session at $43.40 per share.
