Shares in dating app Bumble surged after a report that the company is in takeover talks valued at around $1bn, lifting its battered stock price.
The jump pushed Bumble's market valuation to more than $580m, according to reporting on the move. Even with the gain, that figure remains far below the company's peak valuation of more than $14bn, underscoring how much ground the stock has lost since its earlier highs.
A sharp decline from past highs
Bumble went public with considerable fanfare, but like several other dating-app companies it has since struggled with slowing user growth and increased competition in the sector. A potential takeover would mark a significant moment for the company after a prolonged slide in its share price.
No further details on the identity of a potential buyer or the structure of any deal were included in the report. Bumble has not been reported as commenting publicly on the takeover talks.
