IAC Inc. announced plans to spin off its entire stake in Angi Inc., a platform connecting consumers to home service professionals. The tax-free spinoff is expected to close in the first half of 2025, with a target date no earlier than March 31. Following the spinoff, CEO Joey Levin will step down and transition to the role of executive chairman at Angi. Barry Diller, who has returned as CEO of IAC, is believed to be exploring future acquisition opportunities. The announcement has led to a notable increase in IAC's stock price, reflecting investor optimism about the restructuring.
