FuboTV Inc. (NYSE: FUBO) is once again attracting investor attention as the company enters a potentially important phase following its combination with Hulu + Live TV. Interest in the term “fubo” soared greatly as the NFL preseason began with six games on August 13. Although viewer interest boosted engagement, FUBO stock showed little change, only up 1.0%.
Besides, its latest financial results is mixed. North American subscriber numbers increased by 2.1% from a year earlier, and the net loss reduced by $46.3 million compared to the pro-forma period. or investors, the key question is whether the gap to these reference values narrows or stays wide as FuboTV moves toward its profitability targets and manages its short cash runway.

On August 5, 2026, Fubo reported its fiscal third-quarter results for the quarter ending June 30. The company reported Q3 2026 revenue of $1.48 billion and a narrowed net loss of $25.7 million. This missed Wall Street revenue estimates slightly, but beat subscriber marks with 5.75 million paid users in North America.
The results present a mixed picture. Nevertheless, management increased its fiscal 2026 pro forma adjusted EBITDA outlook to $90-$100 million, up from a previous range of $80-$100 million. The company kept its fiscal 2028 target of at least $300 million unchanged and continues to anticipate generating positive free cash flow in fiscal years 2027 and 2028.
The market’s caution can be traced to the company’s cost structure. Subscriber-related expenses reached $1.365 billion. Broadcasting and transmission expenses amounted to $9.1 million, leaving a limited buffer for marketing, technology, and general overhead costs.
Why Is FUBO Gaining Attention?
FuboTV, Inc. is a consumer-first live TV streaming company. Its mission is to deliver premium sports, news, and entertainment programming through a best-in-class user experience offering greater choice, flexibility, and value. Interest in the term “fubo” has surged recently as the NFL preseason began on August 13 with six games.
The upcoming sports cycle is expected to boost engagement. Major live sports are one of the main reasons consumers continue to pay for traditional pay-TV and live-streaming packages, which gives Fubo a potentially valuable niche.
However, on August 13, FUBO stock was up just 1.0%, while trading volume was 1.73 times its average. This suggests that heightened viewer interest increased trading but had little impact on the stock price.
Is FUBO Stock a Good Buy?
FUBO stock is potentially attractive to investors willing to accept substantial volatility and execution risk. The combination with Hulu + Live TV created a larger operating platform. Subscriber numbers are moving in the right direction, and management raised the lower end of its FY2026 EBITDA guidance, which could accelerate the company’s strategic transformation.
However, FUBO remains a high-risk, high-volatility stock. The decline in adjusted EBITDA, despite subscriber growth, shows that scale alone is insufficient. The next stage of the story depends on whether Fubo can improve advertising monetization, control content costs, and achieve its long-term profitability targets. If these improvements materialize, FUBO could see a significant re-rating; however, if they do not, the stock could remain under pressure despite strong subscriber numbers.
