Case Allegations
Bumble, a dating app (the “Bumble App”), claims to be one of the first dating apps built with women in mind, where women make the first move.
The Bumble class action lawsuit alleges that Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and concealed material adverse facts concerning Bumble’s business operations and financial prospects. Specifically, Defendants’ misstatements stressed 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 (“Premium Plus”), 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.
The truth began to emerge on February 27, 2024, when Bumble reported disappointing fourth quarter and fiscal 2023 results despite its December 2022 launch of Premium Plus. During a corresponding earnings call, management announced that the Premium Plus tier would be revamped as part of a planned Bumble App relaunch, as it “did not have a clear enough market fit” at launch. As a result, Bumble lowered its fiscal year 2024 guidance. In response to this news, Bumble’s stock price fell $1.95 per share, or nearly 15%.
Then, on August 7, 2024, Bumble announced mixed second quarter 2024 results. Defendants revealed that the Bumble App relaunch was not going to plan, and the Company would again need to “reset” its outlook to refocus on the “consumer ecosystem” and “rebalance Bumble subscription tiers,” including pausing its revamp of the poorly received Premium Plus tier. Bumble then significantly cut its fiscal year 2024 guidance for a second time. As a result, Bumble stock plummeted $2.36 per share, or 29.2%.
