Rumble’s Road to Monetization: Potential, Challenges, and Growth Ahead

Undermonetized but Promising: Rumble’s Future in Social Video and Cloud Services

Rumble (RUM), a burgeoning social video platform and cloud services provider, has captured significant attention for its expansive, yet largely untapped, user base. With a Neutral rating and an $8 target price, the platform stands on the cusp of significant transformation. As management shifts focus towards monetization, the potential for Rumble to enhance its average revenue per user (ARPU) is substantial, potentially driving notable revenue and profitability growth in the coming years.

The Monetization Challenge

In 2023, Rumble generated a mere $0.82 of advertising revenue per user, a stark contrast to its more mature counterparts such as Pinterest and Snap, which achieved ARPUs of $25.50 and $30.12 respectively. This discrepancy underscores the vast monetization opportunity that lies ahead for Rumble. The company’s management is now laser-focused on bridging this gap, with ambitious plans to elevate ARPU to approximately $1.25 by 2026 in a base case scenario, and potentially reaching $2.00 in a more optimistic, bull case scenario. Should these targets be met, Rumble’s shares could be valued at $11.

The Path to $11: Critical Factors

Despite the promising outlook, Rumble’s journey to enhanced monetization is laden with uncertainties. Key among these are:

  1. User Growth and Retention: Rumble’s future hinges on its ability to maintain and grow its monthly active user (MAU) base. Historically, the platform has seen user surges during politically charged periods, such as U.S. election cycles, only to witness a subsequent decline. With the upcoming U.S. election in November, Rumble faces a critical period. Recent enhancements in user experience and diversified content may help retain a larger share of election-driven MAUs this cycle. Monitoring user engagement and retention post-election will be vital.
  2. Advertiser Demand: Attracting and retaining advertisers is another crucial aspect. Rumble has made significant strides with the launch of new advertising tools and the addition of incremental ad inventory. The platform’s ability to prove its value to advertisers, particularly in light of its politically diverse content, will be pivotal. Recent partnerships with non-political content providers, such as Barstool Sports, indicate a move towards a more varied content library, potentially broadening its advertiser appeal.

Strengths to Leverage

Rumble’s strategic positioning offers several strengths that could drive its growth:

  1. Large and Growing Total Addressable Market (TAM): Rumble’s dual exposure to digital advertising and cloud services presents a significant growth opportunity. Global digital advertising is projected to reach $677 billion in 2024, while public cloud services spending is expected to hit $180 billion, reflecting year-over-year growth rates of 12% and 26%, respectively.
  2. Monetization Opportunities: With the launch of Rumble Advertising Center and increased ad inventory, the platform is well-positioned to enhance advertiser density. Given the high proportion of its user base in North America, where ARPUs on competing platforms are considerably higher, achieving an ARPU target of $1 to $3 appears feasible in the intermediate term.
  3. Differentiated Platform and Content: Rumble’s creator-friendly policies and commitment to a free and open internet resonate well with content providers and users alike. The platform’s transparent, consistent, and unbiased content moderation policies set it apart from other social platforms, potentially making it a more attractive option for diverse content creators and advertisers.

The Road Ahead

Rumble’s management has laid out a clear path towards monetization, focusing on enhancing its ad tech capabilities, diversifying content, and forming new partnerships to support MAU growth and retention. The upcoming U.S. election cycle could serve as a significant catalyst, driving engagement and user growth. Historically, election cycles have spurred a surge in Rumble’s MAUs, as seen in late 2020 when user numbers skyrocketed from 1 million in 2Q20 to 21 million by year-end. However, the challenge remains in sustaining these users post-election.

Valuation and Market Potential

With an enterprise value of approximately $3 billion, Rumble’s shares trade at around 17.4 times the estimated 2026 revenue. The $8 target price is derived from a sum-of-the-parts (SOTP) analysis, assuming a 19.0x multiple on 2026 advertising revenue and a 21.0x multiple on 2026 cloud revenue. These estimates are based on a conservative ARPU growth trajectory, with projections reaching $1.25 by 2026 and potentially $2.00 by 2028.

Conclusion

Rumble’s potential to elevate its monetization efforts and align its ARPU with more mature peers presents a compelling investment thesis. While the platform’s long-term opportunity is attractive, the current Neutral rating reflects the need for further validation in user growth, retention, and advertiser demand. As Rumble navigates the critical period ahead, particularly with the impending U.S. election, the platform’s ability to attract and retain users and advertisers will be closely watched. Should Rumble demonstrate tangible progress in these areas, the risk-reward proposition could become significantly more favorable, potentially driving its shares towards the bull case scenario of $11.
