REA CEO Seems to be Following Familiar Playbook

Dow Jones

Yesterday

0135 GMT - REA Group's CEO appears to be sticking to the acquisition playbook he followed with his previous employer, Citi analyst Siraj Ahmed says. The Australian real-estate advertiser's acquisition of a 35% stake in Ireland-based marketplace operator Distilled looks to Ahmed like the approach that CEO McIntyre took at CAR Group. Ahmed explains in a note that an initial minority stake in an international business could be followed by majority ownership or a full acquisition. If News Corp-controlled REA heads down this path, Ahmed expects it to eventually spin out Distilled's non-property verticals. Citi keeps a neutral rating on the stock and cuts its target price 14% to 165.00 Australian dollars. News Corp is the parent company of Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires.
