Bumble cut 30% of its workforce-the magnitude of which JPMorgan says 'comes as a surprise'
Briefly

Bumble has announced a significant 30% workforce reduction, equating to approximately 240 jobs, as part of efforts to navigate declining user numbers and revenues in the ailing dating app market. Following the announcement, Bumble's stock soared over 20%. Despite previous cuts of $15 million in operating costs, analysts noted the layoffs as unexpectedly steep. The company is redirecting much of its cost savings back into strategic initiatives, yet faces skepticism regarding its future growth potential as user acquisition remains troubled among younger generations.
Bumble's substantial workforce cut of 30% alongside earlier cost reductions indicates ongoing struggles for growth in the declining dating app market.
Analysts expressed surprise at the extent of letdowns in Bumble's workforce, signaling a stark reality in the competitive dating landscape despite preceding cost measures.
