Over about 2 years to 2026-07-31. 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?

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.
