RUM: Record $96.6 million revenue and first positive Adjusted EBITDA, driven by Quake AI

What happened

Rumble reported Q3 revenue of $96.6 million, up 290% from a year earlier and a record. Adjusted EBITDA, a measure of operating performance excluding certain items, was positive at $4.4 million for the first time. Quake AI supplied over 70% of revenue, and Q4 revenue guidance is $88 million to $94 million.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The first positive Adjusted EBITDA suggests revenue growth was enough to cover more of Rumble’s operating costs under this measure. But with Quake AI supplying over 70% of revenue, the results depend heavily on that offering; weaker demand could pressure sales and the path to sustained positive performance.

Analyst inference

The reported Q3 record and first positive Adjusted EBITDA provide a benchmark against Q4 guidance of $88 million to $94 million. That range is below Q3 revenue, but the supplied context does not explain seasonality or whether revenue is expected to decline sequentially.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Compare Q4 reported revenue with the $88 million to $94 million guidance to see whether Rumble meets its stated range and sustains the reported scale. Analyst inference
2. Watch whether Quake AI’s share of revenue changes from over 70%; a lower share could indicate less reliance on one major revenue source. Analyst inference
3. Check whether Adjusted EBITDA remains positive in later quarters, since one positive quarter does not establish that operating costs are consistently covered. Analyst inference
