Description: IAC IAC November 08, 2025
IAC Inc. (NASDAQ:IAC) is a diversified internet-media conglomerate that monetizes a portfolio of consumer-focused brands. Its core assets include lifestyle and women-oriented publications (People, Better Homes & Gardens, Verywell, The Spruce, Allrecipes, Real Simple, Southern Living), a home-services marketplace (Angi Ads & Leads, Angi Services), a suite of search-and-shopping portals (Ask.com, Reference.com, Consumersearch.com, Shopping.net), caregiving platforms (Care.com, HomePay), a health-career network (Vivian Health), and a news-and-culture site (The Daily Beast). IAC also produces feature-film content through IAC Films.
In fiscal 2023 the company reported roughly $2.6 billion in revenue, with the Angi segment contributing about 30 % of total sales and delivering a 12 % operating margin-significantly higher than the media-content units, which operate at thinner margins but benefit from scalable digital-advertising inventory. Monthly active users across its top-tier content brands exceeded 120 million, supporting a strong CPM-based ad pricing model.
Key economic drivers for IAC include the overall health of the U.S. digital-advertising market (which grew ~7 % YoY in 2023) and consumer discretionary spending on home-improvement services, both of which are sensitive to interest-rate cycles and employment trends. A sector-wide shift toward programmatic ad buying and AI-enhanced content personalization offers upside potential for IAC’s ad-tech stack, while a slowdown in housing-related spending could compress Angi’s growth trajectory.
Given the mix of high-margin digital-content assets and a cash-generating services marketplace, analysts should monitor IAC’s quarterly guidance on Angi’s lead-conversion rates and the scalability of its programmatic ad platform to assess whether the company can sustain its blended EBITDA margin above 15 %.
