Needham & Company maintains a 'Hold' on IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ: IACI).

Analyst, Kerry Rice, said, "IAC posted strong 4Q11 results, exceeding expectations, as Search accelerated revenue and profitability growth. While increasing mobile search and browser and algorithm changes could negatively impact Search growth, we expect query volume trends to remain strong in the near-term. IAC is still early in its integration of Meetic, leaving execution and integration risk high for 2012. However, Match provides management with a clear guide for success. We are increasing our estimates, but believe shares are near full valuation."

Needham raises FY12 EPS estimate from $2.40 to $2.60. FY12 revs from $2.396 bln to $2.56 bln.
