Shares of LGBTQ-focused social platform Grindr (NYSE:GRND) are grinding lower today after announcing a top-line surge but a drop in the bottom line for the fourth quarter.
During the quarter, revenue increased 21% year-over-year to $55 million. While advertising revenue remained flat, the growth came from higher subscriptions and a la carte add-ons.
