In this article, we will be taking a look at some of the best dating stocks to buy. To read our detailed analysis of dating stocks and this sector, you can go directly to see the first part of our article Are Dating Apps a Good Investment?

2. Bumble Inc. (NASDAQ:BMBL)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 22

Bumble Inc. (NASDAQ:BMBL) is a provider of an online dating and social networking platform in North America, Europe, and internationally. The company is based in Austin, Texas.

An Outperform rating was reiterated on Bumble Inc. (NASDAQ:BMBL) shares on November 10, by analyst Shweta Khajuria at Evercore ISI. The analyst also placed a $25 price target on the stock.

Bumble Inc.’s (NASDAQ:BMBL) revenue for the third quarter came in at $232.64 million, representing a growth of 17% year-over-year. The company also generated $34 million in free cash flow, while maintaining cash and cash equivalents of $365 million. Its latest quarter demonstrated healthy financial performance and long-term growth prospects.

Our hedge fund data shows 22 funds long in the third quarter, with a total stake value of $132 million.

Polen Capital, an investment management company, mentioned Bumble Inc. (NASDAQ:BMBL) in its third-quarter 2022 investor letter. Here’s what the firm said:

“The activity this quarter included two new initiations along with modest adds and trims to existing positions. During this period, we initiated new positions in Euronet Worldwide and Bumble Inc. (NASDAQ:BMBL).

Bumble is an online dating platform with top-ranking apps including Bumble, Badoo, and Fruitz. We are excited about the market potential for online dating, which has been growing in popularity but is still underpenetrated in many markets. It’s still early days for Bumble to benefit from the category growth and expand internationally. Bumble is competitively advantaged because the company empowers women to make the first move, driving a strong brand and compelling customer unit economics. Longer term, we are excited about the opportunity for Bumble to take a share in dating and leverage its brand in other categories.”

1. Match Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTCH)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 54

Match Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTCH) is a communication services company based in Dallas, Texas. Its brands include dating apps such as Tinder, Match, Meetic, OkCupid, and Hinge.

On November 3, John Blackledge, an analyst at Cowen, reiterated an Outperform rating on Match Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTCH), while placing an $80 price target on the stock.

Currently, Match Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTCH) has the largest portfolio of dating apps, and it held over 60% of the North American online dating market as of this October. About 28% of the company’s revenues are generated as free cash flow. Consensus estimates called for 22% earnings growth from the company, and 13% revenue growth over the next three years. These figures are much higher than the average in the industry.

In the third quarter, 54 hedge funds were long Match Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTCH), with a total stake value of $621 million.

Artisan Partners, an investment management company, mentioned Match Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTCH) in its third-quarter 2022 investor letter. Here’s what the firm said:

Match Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:MTCH) is the global leader in online dating services across a portfolio of 45 brands including Tinder, Match.com, OkCupid and Hinge. Despite excellent growth momentum at Hinge, the company overall has experienced macro headwinds (inflation impacting lowend consumers, foreign exchange pressures) and product execution issues at Tinder (>50% of revenue). Tinder’s product innovation roadmap has not delivered as expected in 2022, falling short on efforts to drive higher user adoption of premium features. Fortunately, a new CEO took over in May, and his focus is on turning around Tinder by upgrading leadership and strengthening product development efforts. While we are disappointed in the loss of profit cycle momentum, Match remains the leading franchise in online dating and generates significant cash flow. Given its depressed valuation, we are taking time with this mid-sized position to evaluate the turnaround plan at Tinder.”

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

  • 175 Teslas
  • 107 Amazons
  • 140 Metas
  • 84 Googles
  • 65 Microsofts
  • And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

  • Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
  • Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
  • Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:

A few years from now, you’ll wish you’d owned this stock.

My name is Inan Dogan. I’m the co-founder and Research Director of Insider Monkey. I have an important message for you today.

Since March 2017, my stock picks have returned 16.5% annually. Today, I’ve found an opportunity even bigger than my British American Tobacco call.

Two years ago, Wall Street wrote off British American Tobacco (BTI) as a “melting ice cube.” The stock had crashed 40% from its peak, and consensus said the business was dying.

We looked under the cover and realized they were wrong.

We alerted our subscribers, and BTI returned 90% in just 16 months.

Now if you had invested just $10,000 in BTI in June 2024, you’d be sitting on $19,000 in October 2025.

Today, we have identified a nearly identical pattern in a digital-first giant trading at $3.

While the market panics over a surface-level revenue decline, our PhD-led research shows management has actually surgically cut $100 million in waste to focus on high-margin growth.

This pattern is a hallmark of our 16.5% annual return track record. The current opportunity offers a 400% upside potential—dwarfing even our 90% BTI return.

Get the ticker for our new “Underdog” pick and the full BTI case study for just 99 cents.
