Boosting Earnings and Expanding Market Influence
QuinStreet projects that the acquisition will deliver $30 million or more in adjusted earnings within the first 12 months after closing — a striking benchmark that underscores the company’s confidence in its newly broadened consumer pipeline.
“HomeBuddy’s demand-generation capabilities align closely with our performance-focused marketing platform, strengthening the combined platform’s overall capacity and potential for at-scale growth,” said Tim Stevens, QuinStreet’s chief operating officer.
Stevens said home services professionals will gain greater reach, more data and enhanced operational tools, giving them a sharper competitive edge in a fragmented market increasingly shaped by digital discovery and algorithmic matching.
Parties Decline to Comment as Deal Advances
Neither QuinStreet nor HomeBuddy responded to requests for further comment, and counsel information for the transaction was not immediately available Wednesday. The acquisition, if completed on schedule, could mark one of the most consequential expansions for QuinStreet as it pushes deeper into an industry undergoing rapid technological reinvention.
