Activist Starboard builds over 6.5% stake in Tinder owner Match, WSJ reports
- Activist investor Starboard has a position in Tinder owner Match of more than 6.5% and is pushing for a possible sale if a turnaround isn't successful, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.Starboard believes Match should improve Tinder, which represents more than half of the company's total revenue, and also sees opportunities for the Hinge business among other emerging apps, according to the report.
It also believes Match should consider going private if it fails to make the changes, including more aggressive share buybacks, the report added.Investment firm Anson Funds Management had also amassed a stake and was pushing Match to refresh its board, Bloomberg News reported in March. Match offers dating apps - including Tinder, Hinge, OkCupid - and has been grappling with slowing revenue due to weaker discretionary spending by users in an uncertain economy.Risk Disclosure: Trading in financial instruments and/or cryptocurrencies involves high risks including the risk of losing some, or all, of your investment amount, and may not be suitable for all investors.
