Match Group: Navigating Tinder Headwinds While Betting Big On Hinge And Innovation
Match Group's Q1 2025 results exceeded expectations, but Tinder's challenges overshadowed growth in Hinge and other emerging products, causing the stock to sell off. Despite macro and micro headwinds in the dating app market, MTCH's global presence and diverse product portfolio position it better than Bumble. The CEO's recent share purchase and potential savings from app store fee changes offer a margin of safety, with a 15% upside potential to $31/share.
