Darren Aftahi, an analyst from Roth MKM, maintained the Hold rating on fuboTV (FUBO – Research Report). The associated price target remains the same with $2.00.
Darren Aftahi has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors impacting fuboTV’s short-term outlook and financial health. Aftahi’s analysis suggests that while the company’s focus on increasing advertising revenue, including the launch of an ad-based tier, is crucial for achieving sustainable cash flow, there are significant uncertainties ahead. The upcoming quarter’s financial expectations are modestly below consensus, hinting at caution in the face of potential challenges. Moreover, the competitive landscape is about to intensify, which could put additional pressure on fuboTV’s market strategy and financial position.
The legal front also presents a considerable concern with the preliminary injunction hearing regarding the sports streaming joint venture between major industry players, potentially overshadowing fuboTV’s operational fundamentals. Aftahi acknowledges that while Connected TV (CTV) advertising has shown strength in the first quarter, the impending legal battle could lead to material legal costs and affect the company’s long-term business model. The report also posits that unless other well-funded sports streaming services join fuboTV in its legal fight, the company could face an uphill battle in securing more equitable streaming and distribution fees. This complex mix of factors contributes to the Hold rating, as the analyst awaits clearer signs of the company’s ability to navigate these challenges.
Based on the recent corporate insider activity of 12 insiders, corporate insider sentiment is negative on the stock. This means that over the past quarter there has been an increase of insiders selling their shares of FUBO in relation to earlier this year.
