Jefferies analyst James Heaney assumed coverage of IAC (IAC) with a Buy rating and a price target of $60, down from $65. Q3 results were “mostly overshadowed” by IAC’s decision to spin off Angi Inc. (ANGI), which represents about 28% of IAC’s market cap, as IAC looks to free up capital for further value creation.
