Groupon shares topped $5 in early morning trading Thursday, following a late-Wednesday earnings report that beat expectations.

Shares of the Chicago-based e-commerce marketplace have not touched $5 since early March. The last time Groupon (Nasdaq: GRPN) closed a day above $5 was July 23, 2015.

The stock is up more than 33 percent since yesterday’s close, trading early at about $5.05.

Before yesterday’s spike, Groupon stock had lost about one-fifth of its value for the year.
