People Incorporated, previously known as IAC Inc. and IAC/InterActiveCorp, is a New York-based holding company renowned for building and spinning off major internet and media businesses over the past three decades. Following a strategic reorganization and rebranding in mid-2026, the company streamlined its operations to focus on its core publishing business and strategic investments. The company's primary operating asset is People Inc. (formerly Dotdash Meredith), which ranks as the largest digital and print publisher in America. People Inc. manages a diverse portfolio of over 40 prominent brands, including People, Better Homes & Gardens, Verywell, Food & Wine, The Spruce, Allrecipes, Investopedia, and Southern Living. The company's revenue is overwhelmingly generated by its publishing segment, which is split between digital and print operations. Digital revenue is derived from premium advertising, performance marketing, and content licensing, including notable AI licensing agreements with major technology companies. Print revenue is generated through magazine subscriptions, newsstand sales, and print advertising. In the second quarter of 2026, the People Inc. segment accounted for over 96% of the company's total consolidated revenue, with digital operations contributing approximately $290 million and print operations adding $133 million. Beyond its publishing business, People Incorporated holds a significant equity stake (over 26%) in MGM Resorts International, alongside minority investments in companies such as Turo and The Daily Beast.
