Rumble misses Q1 revenue as Northern Data deal advances

Rumble’s Q1 print shows revenue growth is not yet enough to meet analyst expectations, even with the company’s highest first-quarter revenue on record. At the same time, the Northern Data acquisition signals that Rumble is steering toward cloud infrastructure rather than relying only on its core streaming and video business. For StreamingMeme readers, the key competitive signal is whether that acquisition closes and how explicitly Rumble frames cloud infrastructure in future filings and earnings updates. The next data point to watch is the company’s follow-up disclosure on the Northern Data transaction.
