Alphyn Capital Management made the following comment about IAC Inc. (NASDAQ:IAC) in its second quarter 2023 investor letter:

“IAC Inc. (NASDAQ:IAC)’s cyclical share price patterns—rising before spin-offs and stagnating afterward—provide opportunities for patient investors. I believe the current undervaluation and subsidiary progress a profitable window. IAC’s $4.5bn market cap, lower than the combined value of its investments in MGM ($2.8bn), Angi ($1.1bn), and cash ($1bn), implies undervaluation of its private ventures—Dotdash Meredith, Care.com, Vivian Health, and Turo—businesses valued at $4.6bn two years ago. CEO Joey Levin has reoriented Angi towards fundamentals, focusing on manageable, easy-to-bid projects that enhance customers’ and service providers’ experiences. Moreover, IAC’s increased investment in Turo, a car rental service exhibiting promising growth, presents future optionality.”
