Bumble Faces Market Pressure Ahead of Q3 Earnings Report

Bumble Inc. will release its third-quarter 2025 earnings on November 5, with Wall Street forecasting earnings per share of $0.39 and revenue of roughly $244 million. The results come amid a challenging period for the dating app sector, as user engagement and time spent on leading platforms continue to slide.

The Texas-based dating company, which also owns Badoo, Fruitz, and the friendship app Bumble for Friends, reported $248 million in revenue last quarter – down 7.6% year over year but slightly ahead of analyst expectations. Despite that earnings beat, Bumble’s share price has continued to decline, recently falling 3.1% to around $5.60, with the stock now down more than 35% year-to-date.

Market analysts suggest investor confidence remains fragile following several quarters of muted growth and slowing user activity. According to data from Apptopia, Bumble’s daily active users in the U.S. dropped by 6.4% year-over-year in Q3, the steepest decline among major dating apps. Competitor Tinder saw a 5.4% drop, while Match Group’s Hinge bucked the trend with an 8.5% increase.

Bumble’s current market capitalization sits at approximately $582 million, a steep fall from its 2021 post-IPO valuation. Still, institutional investors continue to hold nearly 95% of the company’s shares, a sign of long-term confidence in its underlying model. With dating app fatigue increasingly discussed in both consumer and investor circles, Bumble’s upcoming results will be a key indicator of whether the company can stabilize its user base and reignite growth.
