IAC (NASDAQ:IAC) is a United States–based holding company that acquires, develops and manages a diverse portfolio of digital businesses. Since its origins in the late 1980s as Silver King Broadcasting, IAC has evolved through a series of strategic acquisitions and spin-offs into a leading operator of consumer internet brands. The company’s journey includes early investments in online marketplaces and video networks, paving the way for later spin-outs such as Expedia, Match Group and Vimeo.
Today, IAC’s core operations encompass digital marketplaces, service platforms and media brands that span home services, dating, finance, education and lifestyle. Its principal businesses include ANGI Homeservices, which connects homeowners and service professionals; Dotdash Meredith, a digital publisher covering topics from health and finance to food and home; and Care.com, an online marketplace for childcare and senior care. Other notable properties include Investopedia, The Daily Beast, Turo and Tree.com.
With a footprint across North America, Europe and select international markets, IAC’s offerings address both consumer needs and advertiser demand. Its marketplaces leverage data and technology to match users with service providers, while its media brands generate content that attracts targeted audiences. The company continues to explore new verticals through venture investments and strategic partnerships, seeking to extend its digital reach and enhance monetization opportunities across platforms.
IAC is led by Chairman Barry Diller, a veteran media executive who has guided the company since the 1990s, and Chief Executive Officer Joey Levin, who has overseen the firm’s expansion since 2015. Under their stewardship, IAC has demonstrated a track record of value creation through disciplined capital allocation, spin-offs of mature businesses and reinvestment in high-growth digital ventures. This approach has positioned the company as a versatile steward of internet brands in a rapidly evolving online landscape.
