Match Group forecast fourth-quarter revenue below Wall Street estimates on Wednesday, signaling that a turnaround of its dating apps including Tinder would take longer and sending shares of the company down more than 13% in extended trading. The company also missed third-quarter revenue estimates. Smaller rival Bumble Inc., meanwhile, posted its first decline in quarterly sales since going public in 2021 and also said it would take longer for its app revamp to payoff.

The company expects revenue between $865 million and $875 million for the fourth quarter, compared with analysts' average estimate of $905.4 million, according to data compiled by LSEG. In the third quarter, total paying users declined 3% to 15.2 million, marking an eight straight quarter of decline. #Tinder #Hinge #DatingApps #Bumble
