IAC Chairman Criticizes High Valuation and Lack of Revenue
Barry Diller, Chairman of IAC and Expedia, didn’t mince words when discussing Trump Media, calling it “a scam” and those investing in its soaring stock price “dopes.” Diller’s scathing remarks highlight concerns about the company’s lack of revenue and questionable valuation.
Trump Media, majority-owned by former President Donald Trump, saw its stock surge after its public debut following a merger with a shell company. Despite having minimal revenue and focusing primarily on the Truth Social app, its market capitalization skyrocketed to $6.4 billion.
Diller likened the situation to the meme stock frenzy of 2021, emphasizing the irrationality of investing in a company with minimal revenue. He dismissed the notion of Trump Media becoming a significant business, suggesting its appeal lies more in entertainment value than genuine growth prospects.
With Trump Media’s stock price fluctuating wildly and skepticism surrounding its business model, Diller’s comments underscore broader doubts about the company’s long-term viability and sustainability in the market.
