Is this normal for this company?
Each figure against the range this same company has produced recently. Neither end of a range is the good end.
Profit as a share of sales, from the company's own quarterly statements. The range covers the 5 quarters we hold, and the figure shown is its most recent one.
How these ranges are built
Every number here is the company's own reported figure, not a comparison with other companies. The ranges come from this company's own results and its share price. Where it reports in a different currency from the one its shares trade in, the price-to-earnings range is left out rather than mixing the two.
What does RUM Group Inc. do?
RUM Group runs a video platform that positions itself as an alternative to mainstream social media sites, aiming to attract creators who want fewer content restrictions. It makes money primarily through advertising and cloud services, though it is currently spending more than it earns to grow its user base. The real test is whether they can turn a growing audience into a profitable business, since they currently lose money on every pound of revenue they bring in.

Does RUM Group Inc. pay a dividend?
No - RUM Group Inc. doesn't currently pay a dividend, so the whole return would rest on the share price. Plenty of growing companies reinvest their profits instead of paying them out - neither approach is better or worse, they're just different.
Does RUM Group Inc. have more cash or more debt?
It holds about $203.27M in cash against about $501.78M of debt - so it has net debt of about $298.51M. Debt is not automatically a problem - it funds growth - but it has to be serviced and repaid, which matters more when profits wobble.
From the latest reported balance sheet. Cash and debt levels change, and some borrowing is normal - this is context, not a judgment.
What do RUM Group Inc.'s numbers mean?
How has it performed?
Growth of £1,000, the worst fall, and year by year
Over about 2 years to 2026-09-10. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.
How much has RUM Group Inc. actually fallen?
Over the last 2 years of daily prices, RUM Group Inc. fell as much as −71% from a high to a later low. Falls like this are normal when you own a share.
Past falls are not a forecast - it can fall further, or recover.
How has it done year by year?
Calendar-year total return - the share price with dividends reinvested - from adjusted closing prices. The current year is only part-complete. Past returns are not a guide to the future.
