What Is The Market Telling Us
fuboTV’s shares are extremely volatile and have had 61 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today’s move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business.
The previous big move we wrote about was 10 days ago when the stock gained 5% on the news that the company reported a drop in subscribers and a year-over-year revenue decline for its second quarter, which overshadowed beats on profit and revenue expectations. The sports-focused streaming platform saw its domestic subscribers fall by 94,000 year-over-year to 1.36 million. Total revenue also dipped by 2.8% to $380 million. Despite these declines, the results were not all negative. Fubo posted an adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.05, reversing a loss from the same quarter last year and beating analyst estimates. It also generated a positive Adjusted EBITDA of $20.67 million, another bright spot in the report. However, investors appeared to focus more on the shrinking subscriber base and revenue, which are critical performance indicators for streaming services.
fuboTV is up 167% since the beginning of the year, but at $3.77 per share, it is still trading 31% below its 52-week high of $5.46 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of fuboTV’s shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $359.05.
