Market for Registrant’s Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters
Our common stock is quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) under the ticker symbol
“MTCH.”
As of January 31, 2026, there were 806 holders of record of the Company’s common stock. Because the
substantial majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock are held by brokers and other institutions on
behalf of shareholders, we are not able to estimate the total number of beneficial shareholders represented by
these record holders.
Dividends
Beginning in January 2025, we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share of outstanding common
stock to stockholders of record. During the year ended December 31, 2025, total dividend payments were
$186.3 million .
On February 3, 2026, we declared a dividend of $0.20 per share of outstanding common stock, payable on
April 21, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 7, 2026.
Subject to legally available funds and future declaration by our board of directors, we currently intend to
continue to pay a quarterly cash dividend on our outstanding common stock. The declaration and payment of
future dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors,
including our financial condition, operating results, available cash, and current and anticipated cash needs.
See Note 7—Shareholders’ Equity in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II,
Item 8, "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional
