$MTCH Match Group appoints Spencer Rascoff—Zillow co-founder—as its new CEO, replacing Bernard Kim.
- Rascoff has served on Match’s board since March 2024 & was brought in after talks with activist investor Elliott Management. 🏗️
- Rascoff’s Background:
🏡 Co-founded & led Zillow for a decade
✈️ Co-founded Hotwire (sold to Expedia for $700M)
CEO Compensation:
💰 Base Salary: $800K/year
💵 Target Bonus: 200% of salary
🚀 $30M Value Creation Award if stock hits $40-$60 for 45 days
Last October, Match Group announced insider Steven Bailey is set to become CFO effective March 1, 2025, as Gary Swidler transitions from CFO to remain President.
Stock tumbles -9% after-hours as revenue guidance disappoints. 📉
Match also projects 2025 sales of $3.38B–$3.50B, below estimates.
Q4 Earnings:
💰 EPS: $0.59 (beat $0.54 est.)
📊 Revenue: $860M (beat $859M est.)
⚠️ Weak Q1 guidance: $820M–$830M vs. $853M est. 📉
📱Tinder Troubles: Paying users fell 4% YoY to 14.6M, marking 9 straight quarters of decline. Match struggles with slowing engagement & economic headwinds.
🤖Match plans to leverage AI across its dating apps, but analysts see real growth only by 2026.
Activist Push: Rascoff’s appointment follows Elliott Management’s involvement to turn Match around. The company has struggled since its IAC spinoff in 2020, losing over $20B in market cap. 📉

An interesting stock idea $LB by @HorizonKinetics
Land Bridge is a large land owner in Texas (similar to $TPL). At $5.9bn mkt cap you pay c. $21,000 per acre. Each acre could theoretically generate over $40,000 of annual revenue.
A good starting point for doing more research on this name.

Would have never guessed, although 2000 was a special year for the growth/US stocks…still so unexpected.
The narratives of today have nothing to do with what wins in the term.

In the below chart I've included distributions (in most cases these are eaten up by taxes and fees).
Gold still winning.

Bill Gurley on work-life balance
“There’s this great dichotomy because we’ve all gotten so excited about the notion of work-life balance… When we study great athletes or musicians or chess players or painters, like if a ballet dancer works 80 hours per week on her craft, we all think that’s glorious. Michael Jordan practices more than anyone else. But when you apply it to the work environment, all of a sudden it’s heretical and you don’t believe in work-life balance.”
Bill believes that if you want to do truly great work, you have to be just as dedicated as a great athlete.
“If you want to be at the top of your game, you have to decide whether you want to make that tradeoff or not. You don’t have to. There are plenty of jobs on this planet where you can work 9-to-5. And you may care way more about your family life or personal life, and that’s fine too. But to think you’re going to excel and not grind? Good luck.”
