Position among covered Communication Services companies that report each metric (minimum 5 peers). A relative position within our covered catalog — not a valuation, quality, or investment judgment. A higher percentile is simply a higher value (for P/E, more expensive on earnings — never "better"). Informational only.
Dividend coverage
Not assessed — last reported dividend predates the accounts. The most recent fiscal year in which BMBL reported a dividend payment is FY2019, while its reported financial statements run through FY2025. Coverage is therefore not assessed for the latest year — an FY2019 ratio would not describe BMBL today.
Coverage is derived from reported SEC EDGAR XBRL figures, comparing dividends paid against net income and free cash flow for the SAME fiscal year. It is not shown here because the latest fiscal year with a reported dividend payment (FY2019) is older than the latest year of reported financial statements (FY2025), so any ratio would describe an out-of-date year. Informational only — not financial advice.
How BUMBLE INC CLASS A looks technically
BUMBLE INC CLASS A (BMBL) is trading 20.6% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend. Its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 223 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal. A trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 20 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend). Momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 39, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30). It made a new 20-day low about 3 trading days ago. It is 4.1% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year). Trading volume is unusually light — only about 49% of its 30-day average.
Trend
7
| Distance from the 200-day | it is trading 20.6% below its 200-day average, the long-term trend line — a long-term downtrend | -20.6% |
|---|---|---|
| 50-day moving average | its average price over the last 50 trading days — a short-term trend line — is $2.77 | $2.77 |
| 200-day moving average | its average price over the last 200 trading days — the long-term trend line — is $3.20 | $3.20 |
| Swing structure | its recent peaks and dips disagree — one of them is rising while the other is not, so there is no clean up or down pattern in the swings | mixed — one of the two is not confirming |
| Last swing turn | its last significant turn was a swing high 25 calendar days ago — the swings before that are what the structure reading is measured on | 25 sessions |
| Since the 50/200 cross | its 50-day average crossed below its 200-day average about 223 trading days ago — a "death cross", a bearish long-term signal | 223 sessions |
| Trend strength (14-day ADX) | a trend is forming but not yet strong — ADX, a 0–100 trend-strength gauge, is 20 (a reading of 25+ marks a strong trend) | 20.3 |
Momentum
3
| 14-day RSI | momentum is neutral — its 14-day RSI (a 0–100 momentum gauge) is 39, neither overbought (above 70) nor oversold (below 30) | 38.6 |
|---|---|---|
| Position in its 14-day range | it is trading in the lower half of its 14-day range ($2.44 to $2.92) — its "stochastic" reading is 21 out of 100, where 0 would mean closing exactly at the 14-session low and 100 exactly at the high. This measures WHERE the price sits inside its recent range, which is a different question from the RSI beside it: RSI is a momentum gauge, measuring how FAST the price has been moving, so a stock can drift quietly to the bottom of its range with an ordinary RSI, or fall sharply and still sit in the middle. It has been climbing within that range over the last few sessions. | 20.8 |
| Since the MACD crossed zero | MACD, a trend-momentum gauge, is in negative territory (momentum leaning bearish) | 14 sessions |
Range
12
| 52-week high | its highest closing price over the past year (about 252 trading days) was $6.13 | $6.13 |
|---|---|---|
| From the 52-week high | it is 58.6% below its 52-week high (its highest price of the past year) | -58.6% |
| Above the 52-week low | it is 4.1% above its 52-week low (its lowest price of the past year) | +4.1% |
| Below the 52-week high | it is 58.6% below its highest point of the past year | 58.6% |
| Since a 20-day breakout | it made a new 20-day low about 3 trading days ago | 3 sessions |
| Since a 55-day breakout | it made a new 55-day low about 3 trading days ago | 3 sessions |
| All-time high | its highest closing price on record is $76.49 (set on 2021-03-11) | $76.49 |
| Given back of the 52-week move | over the past year its closes ranged ($2.50 to $6.04), and it has recovered essentially none of its fall from last year’s high — 1% of it. Chart-watchers call 61.8%-65% given back the "golden pocket" — for this company that is $4.69 to $4.80. It is watched widely enough that orders cluster there, which is the honest reason it matters; it is not a forecast. | 1.1% |
| From the all-time high | it is 96.7% below its all-time high | -96.7% |
| Nearest price level | it is trading 3.5% below a resistance level at $2.63 — a price it turned at three times since 2026-02-19, most recently on 2026-09-01. Since 2024-10-09 it has 0 such levels below the current price and 15 above. Levels like these describe where the price has reversed or paused before; they are not a forecast of where it will go. | +3.5% |
| All-time low | its lowest closing price on record is $2.44 (set on 2026-10-07) | $2.44 |
| Above the all-time low | it is 4.1% above its all-time low | +4.1% |
Volatility
5
| Band width vs its own 6 months | day-to-day price swings are about average versus its own recent 6-month history | 66th percentile |
|---|---|---|
| Typical daily range | in a typical session it travels about $0.1115 between its high and its low — about 4.4% of its price. That is its "average true range" over the last 14 sessions, which also counts the distance from the previous close, so a day that opens well away from yesterday counts as the large move it was | $0.1115 |
| Bollinger bands (20-day, ±2σ) | most of its recent trading has stayed between about $2.34 and $3.05 — the "Bollinger bands", a range drawn two standard deviations either side of its 20-day average price, which widens when the stock gets more volatile and narrows when it settles | $2.34 – $2.70 – $3.05 |
| Typical daily range (% of price) | its price moves about 4.4% in a typical session — about typical for the companies we cover. This is the average gap between a session's high and low over the last 14 sessions, counting overnight moves, expressed against the current price so it can be compared with companies trading at any price | 4.4% |
| Stretch from the 200-day average | it is trading 5.9 daily ranges below its 200-day average price (20.6% below it in plain percentage terms) — a way of asking how far it has stretched from its own average in units of how far it normally moves in a day, so a calm company and a jumpy one can be compared on the same scale | 5.9 daily ranges below its 200-day average |

Price gaps
2
| Gap at the open | it opened on 2026-10-09 0.2% above the previous session's close — an overnight gap, the part of the move that happened while the market was shut, and traded back through that level before the close | +0.2% |
|---|---|---|
| Gap filled | a 9.9% gap down opened on 2026-08-06 has been "filled" 20 sessions ago — price traded back through the level the gap left behind, and it took 25 sessions to close | 20 sessions ago |

Signal agreement

| Bullish technical signals | 0 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bullish state — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 0 of 9 |
|---|---|---|
| Bearish technical signals | 6 of the 9 technical signals we can compute for it are currently in a bearish state: a "death cross" — its 50-day average is below its 200-day, trading below its 200-day average, a fresh 20-day low, MACD momentum is negative, lagging the market over 6 months, trading below the Ichimoku cloud — these describe past price behaviour, not a forecast | 6 of 9 |
Trend (Ichimoku cloud)
1
| Vs the Ichimoku cloud | trading 10% below the Ichimoku cloud — a band drawn from where its own highs and lows sat up to 2026-09-02 and projected forward over today's price, the side traders read as an established downtrend, with the band above acting as the level that would have to be cleared. The band itself is moderate, spanning 6.3% of the share price. | -10.4% |
|---|
Volume-weighted price
2
| Vs this year’s average price paid | the price is 22% below the average price paid so far this year, so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $3.25 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 189 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -21.7% |
|---|---|---|
| Vs the average paid since it last reported | the price is 8% below the average price paid since it last reported on 2026-08-05 (its 8-K), so the typical buyer over that stretch is under water. That average is $2.76 — a volume-weighted average of daily closes over 47 sessions, not a true tick-by-tick VWAP. | -8.1% |
Price levels it has turned at before
BMBL last closed at $2.54 on 2026-10-09. Since 2024-10-09 it has turned at 0 prices below its last close and 15 above; the 3 nearest above are listed, nearest first.
| Level | Side | Distance | Evidence |

A level is a price this company reversed or paused at more than once — they describe past behaviour, not a forecast of where the price will go.
Wave structure
No Elliott-wave labelling currently fits its swings: the recent highs and lows do not satisfy the three rules a five-wave count has to obey, so there is no count to show rather than a count we are unsure about.
Read from daily closes as of 2026-10-09.

The two filings could not be meaningfully compared for this section.
Risk Factors
- Added:
- Newer filing (2026-08-06) adds a 'Debt Refinancing' subsection describing the April 2026 term loan credit agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $475.0 million, maturing April 2030, used to repay and terminate the 2020 Credit Agreement.
- Newer filing (2026-08-06) adds that the 2026 term loan bears interest at Term SOFR plus 8.0% or base rate plus 7.0%, with a rate of 11.62% as of June 30, 2026, compared with rates of 7.18% and 7.68% for the Original Term Loan and Incremental Term Loan as of June 30, 2025.
- Newer filing (2026-08-06) adds a recognized loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.5 million, consisting primarily of the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
- Removed:
- Older filing (2026-05-06) section on Share Repurchase Program described activity for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (no repurchases) and three months ended March 31, 2025 (4.7 million shares repurchased for $28.7 million), and stated $50.1 million remained available as of March 31, 2026. This three-month period detail is not present in the newer filing.
- Older filing (2026-05-06) section on Impairment Charges discussed only the three months ended March 31, 2025 ($3.6 million impairment for the Official asset group) and noted no impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2026. This content is not present in the newer filing.
- Older filing (2026-05-06) Restructuring section stated expected approximately $15.0 million of total non-recurring charges through the first half of 2026; this language is not present in the newer filing.
- Reworded:
- Share Repurchase Program disclosure changed from quarterly (three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2026) in the older filing (2026-05-06) to six-month periods (six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2026) in the newer filing (2026-08-06).
- Impairment Charges disclosure changed from first-quarter 2025 information (Official asset group impairment of $3.6 million, no impairments in Q1 2026) in the older filing (2026-05-06) to second-quarter and six-month 2026 and 2025 information in the newer filing (2026-08-06), including $40.0 million indefinite-lived intangible and $129.3 million goodwill impairments in 2026, and $140.0 million indefinite-lived intangible, $258.1 million goodwill, $6.8 million Fruitz held-for-sale, and $3.6 million Official asset group impairments in 2025.
- Restructuring expected charges changed from 'approximately $15.0 million of total non-recurring charges through the first half of 2026' in the older filing (2026-05-06) to 'approximately $16.0 million of total non-recurring charges through the end of 2026' in the newer filing (2026-08-06).
- Notes:
- The provided texts appear to be from the Management's Discussion and Analysis section rather than the Risk Factors section, despite being labeled as Risk Factors.
- The newer filing excerpt begins mid-sentence ('Item 1A—Risk Factors—General Risk Factors" of our 2025 Form 10-K.'), suggesting the immediately preceding context was truncated.
- The older filing excerpt appears to end abruptly mid-sentence in the 'General and administrative expense' section, indicating the provided text may be truncated.

Only open-market purchases (SEC code P) and sales (code S) are counted here. Option exercises, vesting/awards, gifts, and shares withheld for taxes are excluded — they are compensation or mechanical, not open-market conviction. Sales may be planned and non-discretionary (e.g. a Rule 10b5-1 plan) and are not necessarily bearish; open-market buying is not a recommendation to buy. Informational only — not financial advice.
Institutional ownership (13F)
5 institutional 13F filers reported holding BMBL as of 2026-06-30 (quarter-end position, filed within 45 days).
- Distinct 13F filers 5
- Reported shares held 18,183,231
- Reported value $58,186,343
reported quarterly holdings change (2026-03-31 → 2026-06-30): 0 new, 2 increased, 3 decreased, 0 exited. Change counts cover only managers that filed 13F reports in BOTH quarters, derived between two quarter-end snapshots — not same-day trades; a single manager is never said to have "bought" or "sold".
Institutional holdings are quarter-end long positions reported on SEC Form 13F-HR, filed up to 45 days after the quarter ends — they are delayed, are not real-time trades, exclude short positions and most non-US securities, and are not investment advice. Any increase/decrease is a reported change between two quarterly snapshots, not a same-day purchase or sale. These are quarter-end snapshots from the 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, filed within 45 days — not real-time, and any change is a difference between two quarterly reports, not a same-day trade. Informational only — not financial advice.

Short interest (FINRA)
BMBL had 13,980,473 shares of reported short interest as of the 2026-09-15 FINRA settlement date (delayed, bi-monthly; not real-time).
Short interest as a percent of shares outstanding is not shown for BMBL because the newest share count we hold predates that settlement by more than 180 days, and a buyback or issuance in between would move the base. The reported figures above are unaffected.
- Reported short interest (shares) 13,980,473
- Prior settlement (shares) 16,156,663
- Reported change -13.47%
- Days to cover (reported) 5.66
Reported to FINRA as of the 2026-09-15 settlement date. Short interest is reported to FINRA and published on a delayed, bi-monthly schedule (as of a settlement date, disseminated roughly eight business days later) — it is NOT real-time, does not cover every venue or all US trading, and is not a short-squeeze prediction or investment advice. Days-to-cover is the value FINRA reports; percent of float is not shown because the source file carries no share-count denominator — where a percent appears it is of shares OUTSTANDING, the larger base, and is therefore a floor on percent of float.
