Fast Fool Facts: IAC Grudgingly Adjusts

Recs

1

Interactive conglomerate IAC/InterActiveCorp (Nasdaq: IACI) reported second-quarter earnings on July 31.

  • At first glance, the numbers seem impressive. But adjusted EPS paints a bleaker picture, dropping a penny from last year to $0.31 and missing analyst estimates.
  • Not thrilled with the concert lineup this summer? Neither is Ticketmaster, which saw weak domestic ticket sales for the quarter.
