Items To Remember

The analyst mentioned that following the restructuring charge, management’s focus has been on cost cutting to maximize cash flow from these two businesses in order to invest into growing divisions like Vimeo and HomeAdvisor.

Peck also believes that one should remember that “IAC CEO Joey Levin has been the interim CEO of Vimeo as well since the departure of Kerry Trainor in June,” while “IAC sold ASKfm in July from the Publishing division, which will be a headwind to the division's q/q revenue growth.”

Following the repurchase of 6 percent of its outstanding shares in early May, InterActiveCorp still has buyback authorization remaining.
