In other recent news, Grindr has been at the center of several significant developments. The company’s second-quarter results showed revenue growth that, while accelerating from the first quarter, slightly missed projections from JMP Securities. Despite this, Grindr maintained its full-year revenue guidance of at least 26% year-over-year growth. In light of the earnings report, JMP Securities adjusted its price target for Grindr to $23, while Raymond James set a new target of $20, both maintaining favorable ratings on the stock. Additionally, discussions are reportedly underway among insiders about taking Grindr private, potentially valuing the company at around $3 billion. This move involves securing debt financing with Fortress Investment Group, with a proposed buyout price of approximately $15 per share. Furthermore, Grindr’s largest shareholder, G. Raymond Zage, has surpassed a 50% ownership stake following recent share buybacks. The board has approved continued buybacks, forming a special committee to evaluate the implications of these activities.
