IAC reported Q4 2025 revenue of $646m (-10% y/y) and EPS of -$0.99, with the stock up 4.5% premarket after the results. People Inc. materially helped stabilize results with 14% digital revenue growth and nine consecutive quarters of growth; digital revenues amounted to $355m. IAC repurchased shares, increased its MGM holdings, and views its non‑public assets, after subtracting MGM and cash, as significantly undervalued. For 2026 the company expects adjusted EBITDA of $260–335m and mid‑ to high‑single‑digit digital growth for People Inc., but sees pressure from Google-related legal costs. » More on de.investing.com
