IAC is considering a spin-off of its home improvement site Angi, previously known as Angie's List, as part of a strategy to streamline operations. This potential move comes as IAC's media group, led by Barry Diller, looks to optimize its portfolio amid rising revenues from its Dotdash Meredith unit, which reported a 5% year-over-year increase in Q3 revenue, amounting to $439.5 million, along with a $22.1 million operating profit. In contrast, Angi's stock has seen a decline of 7% following the announcement, while IAC's shares rose approximately 1% in premarket trading.
