Summary

• Shares of IAC have fallen 20% while the company is in the midst of monetizing its greatest asset, Tinder, in anticipation of an IPO later this year.
• The PlentyofFish acquisition bolsters the company's Match Group business with a complementary user base that can also be eventually monetized using its freemium ad-supported model.
• Search revenue is being impacted by the AdSense changes made recently at Google, depressing search revenue. Negotiations could be completed by the year end.

Moody's says IAC/InterActiveCorp's possible debt raise at Match for PlentyofFish acquisition could lead to ratings downgrade

The Match Group had been doing all wrong, acquiring rotten companies to show illusory success to its investors.
They Match Group is only a collection of old and obsolete online dating sites: Match, Meetic, Chemistry, OkCupid, FriendScout24, OurTime, HowAboutWe and many more. Even Tinder will not monetize as expected.
The Match Group is not going to innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry in the next years.

PlentyOfFish (POF), Zoosk, Badoo, OKCupid and others are not even mentioned. It seems they do not exist in the mobile space.
