In the said letter, Tidefall Capital Management highlighted a few stocks and IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ:IAC) is one of them. IAC is a media company. Year-to-date, IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ:IAC) stock gained 15.2% and on June 15th it had a closing price of $280.12. Here is what Tidefall Capital Management said:
“Finally, IAC which owns 80% of Match Group (and is due to complete a tax free spin off shortly) traded for less than the value of just its Match stock. Therefore, investors in IAC were getting an incredibly well run company with billions of investments and net cash, for free. We swapped our Match shares for IAC and increased the position.”
In Q1 2020, the number of bullish hedge fund positions on IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ:IAC) stock decreased by about 20% from the previous quarter (see the chart here), so a number of other hedge fund managers don’t seem to agree with IAC’s growth potential. Our calculations showed that IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ:IAC) isn’t ranked among the 30 most popular stocks among hedge funds.
