Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ: IACI) price target of $63.00.
Analyst, Mark May, said, "Yesterday Reuters reported that IAC has emerged as a potential bidder for the About.com assets from the New York Times Co. (NYSE: NYT)(Equal Weight) for a purchase price that could be in the $300mn range. While we cannot substantiate these reports, we do see the potential strategic synergies with certain of IAC's businesses - at the right price."
"With a significant amount of original content and more than 90mn monthly users worldwide, About.com is a complementary asset to IAC's many online media assets (e.g., Ask.com, Citysearch, Dictionary.com, etc.)....About.com could leverage the terms of IAC's contract with Google (Nasdaq: GOOG)...About.com could leverage promotion across IAC's network of media properties to drive incremental traffic...and backoffice cost savings."
