Vanguard Group Discloses Zero Ownership in Groupon Following Internal Realignment
The Vanguard Group has filed an amended Schedule 13G/A disclosing that it no longer holds any beneficial ownership in Groupon Inc. (GRPN) common stock as of March 13, 2026. This filing represents a complete divestment, with Vanguard reporting zero shares owned, down from approximately 2.1 million shares previously held. The change results from an internal realignment at Vanguard on January 12, 2026, where certain subsidiaries and business divisions that previously reported beneficial ownership collectively with The Vanguard Group, Inc. will now report separately on a disaggregated basis. According to the filing, these subsidiaries continue to pursue the same investment strategies but will report ownership independently. The Vanguard Group certifies that the securities were acquired and held in the ordinary course of business and not for influencing control of the issuer. This filing indicates a significant change in institutional ownership structure for Groupon.
