Match Group: 12%+ Equity Yield Despite Signs Of Growth In Early 2025
Match Group's 2025 revenue guidance suggests flat growth, but a 50 bps AOI margin expansion and 15% FCF growth highlight potential investor attractiveness. Hinge's solid 19% YoY revenue and 27% YoY payer growth, paired with early 2025 DAU upticks (Tinder +2% MoM, Hinge +3% MoM), hint at upside to guidance. Leadership changes with Spencer Rascoff as CEO and a strong new C-level team are expected to accelerate execution and maintain strategic goals.
