Over the past few years, Angie’s List has struggled as it faces increased competition from companies like Amazon, which allows you to book certain home service providers, and upstarts like TaskRabbit and Thumbtack. In late 2015, IAC made an unsolicited bid for Angie’s List for over $500 million. The company, which was also facing pressure from activist investor TCS Capital, rejected the deal, saying that it was too low. In 2016, IAC said through a spokesperson that it had no intention of making another offer for Angie’s List, although it apparently changed its mind.
Shares of Angie’s List rose 41% to $8.36 per share in after hours trading on Monday.
