Match Group Inc., the parent company of online dating platforms including Tinder and Hinge, has been under the investor spotlight recently. The company launched its first-ever dividend program and announced a $1.5 billion share buyback plan, which initially intrigued investors. However, its shares plunged following a lowered revenue forecast and reported user growth slowdown. Lawsuits came into light with shareholders seeking recovery on lost money, and several legal firms have stepped forward to represent the shareholders. Simultaneously, Match Group had grounded confidence in its products with the revenue getting a boost from new ventures. It reported third-quarter results, and while estimates were missed, the Q3 earnings still beat expectations. Match Group's performance has been compared against peers, given an outperform rating, and shared plans for Hinge's expansion and Tinder's recovery. In spite of the scrutiny and concerns, some investors view the recent plunge in MTCH shares as a 'buying opportunity'. Attention was also drawn to Match Group's newly appointed Chief Financial Officer, Steven Bailey.
