What happened?
Shares of video sharing platform RUM Group (NASDAQGM:RUM) jumped 7.8% in the morning session after the company reported record third-quarter 2026 financial results, with revenue jumping 290% year over year to $96.6 million, according to the company’s press release.
The print marked the company’s first profitable quarter in corporate history on an adjusted EBITDA basis, posting $4.4 million compared to a loss of $15.1 million in the prior-year period. The top-line expansion was driven by its Quake AI division, which contributed $68.2 million—over 70% of total revenue—in its first full quarter following the Northern Data AG acquisition, the company stated in the release. Commercial demand across Quake AI kept its fleet of roughly 22,000 Nvidia GPUs running at approximately 85% utilization, while core Rumble video revenues rose $3.6 million to $28.4 million on advertising gains.
For the fourth quarter of 2026, RUM Group expects revenue between $88 million and $94 million, while initiating a video cost reset to capture operational savings through 2027. Management also noted that market conditions could push a portion of its 250 megawatts of targeted unmonetized capacity beyond 2027.
