Bumble's shares surged nearly 50% after reports that the dating app is in advanced talks to go private in a deal valuing the company at about $1 billion, far below its $14 billion 2021 valuation. The potential buyer is Ithaca Holdings, but no official confirmation or deal details have been released, leaving uncertainty about whether shareholders will receive a premium or discount. Bumble faces challenges with declining paying users and revenue, and insiders controlling voting power may keep the buyout price modest. The stock's future depends on whether a deal is signed before Bumble's expected November earnings report.
Bumble's stock is trading at USD 3.88 on Pluang, up 2.11% as of Oct 13, 2026 18:21 WIB. The company’s market cap on Pluang stands at $500.82 million, reflecting investor interest amid the potential buyout talks.
