Rumble reported first-quarter revenues of $25.46 million, up 7.4% year on year but falling 2% short of analysts' expectations, in what the company described as a disappointing quarter that also saw a significant miss on earnings per share estimates.

The broader group posted a soft quarter overall, with aggregate revenues missing consensus estimates by 5.3% and next-quarter revenue guidance coming in 6% below expectations, contributing to an average share-price decline of 18.2% across the cohort.
