Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Bumble Inc.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Bumble Inc. (“Bumble” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: BMBL) and reminds investors of the November 25, 2024 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: Defendants provided investors with material information concerning Bumble’s 2023 fiscal year revenue and expected guidance for the fiscal year 2024. Defendants’ statements included, among other things, confidence in their understanding of the desires in their consumer market, growth in revenue per user on the back of the Company’s new elevated subscription tier, and a full app relaunch to integrate features the Company claimed would expand their market to more users with a focus on an increase in younger users on their platform.

Defendants provided these overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning Bumble’s relaunch strategy, including: Premium Plus and base tiers, focused engagement and more personalized experiences for younger users, and enhancing premium offerings for paid subscription members. Such statements absent these material facts caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Bumble’s securities at artificially inflated prices.

The truth began to emerge on February 27, 2024, when Bumble issued a press release reporting disappointing fourth quarter fiscal 2023 results despite the recent launch of the Premium Plus subscription tier in December 2022. During the subsequent earnings call, management announced that the Premium Plus tier would be revamped as part of the planned Bumble app relaunch, as it “did not have a clear enough market fit” at launch. As a result, Bumble lowered its guidance for full year 2024.
