Bumble Inc. was up almost 6% at $3.02 in early premarket moves Thursday, according to Google Finance, after closing Wednesday at $2.85, which was a loss of 6.25%. Shares were trading ahead of the main session. Premarket deals let investors trade before regular hours.
Bumble is pitching investors on a reset as it holds its annual stockholder meeting at noon Eastern time. The meeting is standard, but it comes after shares slid again and with management rolling out new efforts to draw users back to the app.
U.S. markets are open Thursday. Nasdaq keeps its usual 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern trading hours, according to its 2026 holiday list, which shows Juneteenth, June 19, as the next market closure. The quoted move is a premarket sign, before this dateline.
S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 futures slid Thursday, tracking pressure in chip stocks after Broadcom’s revenue came in under forecasts, according to Reuters. Traders kept an eye on Middle East tensions and the upcoming U.S. jobs report on Friday. Small consumer internet names didn’t get much traction from the broader market move.
Bumble is leaning into product updates. Business Insider said Tuesday the company is rolling out “Plans,” a paid group-dating pilot program in New York. The feature lets users pay to join small in-person meetups, bring a paying guest, and then match with people from the event. Business Insider compared it to Match Group’s Tinder testing social features like Double Date and Events. Back in March, Tinder CEO Spencer Rascoff told Business Insider that events were “low-pressure” and get Tinder into the real world. Business Insider
Bumble CEO Wolfe Herd says the app is about to change. Speaking to Axios in May, she said Bumble will be “saying goodbye to the swipe” because users think swiping has “degraded their love lives.” Axios reported the change is linked to AI-driven matchmaking and will begin rolling out in certain markets in the fourth quarter.

Bumble’s financial base narrowed in the first quarter. The company reported May 5 that revenue dropped 14.1% to $212.4 million, and total paying users slid 21.1% to 3.17 million. ARPPU was up 8.9%, hitting $22.04. Adjusted EBITDA climbed 28.3% to $82.6 million. CEO Wolfe Herd said the “health of our ecosystem” had improved, while CFO Kevin Cook pointed to “operating discipline” and “strong cash flow.” Bumble Inc.
Bumble pushed out debt maturities with a new $475 million term loan and a $50 million revolving credit line, according to a securities filing. The loan and credit line now run to 2030. The revolving facility lets Bumble borrow and repay as needed.
Analysts aren’t giving strong signals right now. Public.com’s aggregation had 11 analysts, with consensus at Hold as of June 4—10 rated it Hold, one said Sell, and no Buys. A Hold means they’re not calling for fresh buying or selling at current prices.
The risk is clear. Bumble’s user numbers could fall further if its small New York events test fails to turn more social activity into paying users. Changing the swipe model might also put off current users before drawing in any new ones.
Next up is execution. Investors are looking for a national rollout of Plans to see if offline meetups can drive revenue. The bigger bet for the stock is still the fourth-quarter app overhaul.
