Looking at Bumble’s peers in the consumer subscription segment, some have already reported their Q3 results, giving us a hint as to what we can expect. Roku delivered year-on-year revenue growth of 14%, meeting analysts’ expectations, and Udemy reported flat revenue, topping estimates by 1.4%. Roku traded up 6.2% following the results while Udemy was down 12.4%.

The euphoria surrounding Trump’s November win lit a fire under major indices, but potential tariffs have caused the market to do a 180 in 2025. While some of the consumer subscription stocks have shown solid performance in this choppy environment, the group has generally underperformed, with share prices down 4.2% on average over the last month. Bumble is down 8% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $6.53 (compared to the current share price of $5.44).
