FuboTV is surging midday with no earnings release, no filing, and no corporate announcement to explain it. Something is shifting in how the market values the combined live TV bundle, and it shows up very differently across three tickers.

A live TV distributor trading near the bottom of its 52-week range is finally attracting buyers midday Wednesday, even as its much bigger streaming peers barely budge. That’s today’s setup across the streaming and live-TV cohort.
FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) stock is up 7% to $11.27, running many multiples of the broad market. Disney (NYSE:DIS | DIS Price Prediction) owns a significant non-controlling stake in the combined live TV entity, and Disney stock is up 2% to $108.74. For contrast, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA:SPY) is up 0.5% to $765.19, which frames today as a single-name repricing rather than a sector wave.
The title question is worth answering plainly. No same-day filing, earnings release, or corporate announcement explains the move. FuboTV stock was down 65% year to date (YTD) through Tuesday’s close, and buyers are stepping into a heavily discounted name whose combined revenue base has yet to be reflected in the share price.
No Fresh Catalyst, Just a Discounted Name Since closing its business combination with Disney’s Hulu + Live TV in October 2025, FuboTV owns Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, and Molotov. The company is now the second largest virtual multichannel video programming distributor in the United States and the sixth largest pay TV company.
The combined footprint carries over $6 billion in pro forma annual revenue, with 5.75 million North America subscribers and 356,000 subscribers in the rest of the world. FuboTV generates revenue from subscription fees, advertising, and related party revenue from Disney, which retains a significant non-controlling interest in the combined company.
Despite that scale, FuboTV stock trades far below where it began the year. Today’s action is a beaten-down ticker catching up to a repriced business rather than a response to news.
Why This Move Is Concentrated in One Ticker Disney and Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD) are diversified studio and network businesses where live TV distribution is one line among many. Warner Bros. Discovery stock is up 0.4% to $28.43, essentially in line with the broad market, which fits that revenue mix.
FuboTV is the distribution layer itself. Any repricing of the underlying bundle economics moves FuboTV stock violently while barely registering in the larger names. That’s the mechanical explanation for the spread between a 7% move at the top of this list and a fractional move at the bottom.
Disney stock sits in between at 2%, consistent with a partial ownership stake in the combined live TV entity rather than a pure-play exposure. The market is treating the three tickers according to how much of their equity value is tied directly to the Hulu + Live TV and Fubo bundle.
What to Watch Next The next real information event on the calendar is the November earnings call, when new FuboTV leadership is expected to lay out a strategic roadmap for the combined portfolio. Anything before that date is just positioning. Traders can watch for follow-through later in the session to gauge whether today’s bid is more than a one-session sentiment rebound in a heavily discounted name.
For readers sizing their exposure here, moderation makes sense given that FuboTV stock has been the most volatile name in its own peer group and today’s rally carries no company disclosure behind it. Holders of Disney stock or Warner Bros. Discovery stock should keep their positions calibrated to the fact that the live TV thesis is only a slice of those broader businesses, and today’s tape confirms exactly that.

Disney: How the Fubo Sports Deal Became a Game ChangerfuboTV NYSE: FUBO reported third-quarter fiscal 2026 results reflecting its second full quarter as a combined company with Hulu + Live TV, with management highlighting subscriber gains tied to major live sports, early advertising monetization improvements and a higher full-year adjusted EBITDA outlook.
North America revenue was $1.474 billion, compared with $1.074 billion a year earlier. On a pro forma basis, which assumes the Hulu + Live TV combination had been completed at the start of the comparable period, revenue was approximately flat from $1.475 billion in the prior-year quarter. The company ended the quarter with 5.75 million North American subscribers, up 2% from 5.63 million a year earlier. Rest-of-world subscribers rose 2% to 356,000, while rest-of-world revenue declined to $7.8 million from pro forma revenue of $8.6 million.

Disney 2025 Shareholders: Major Updates for InvestorsThe company posted a net loss of $25.7 million, narrowing from a $38 million loss in the prior-year period. Loss per share was $0.25. Adjusted EBITDA was $19.1 million, compared with pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $31 million a year earlier.
World Cup and Sports Programming Drive Subscriber Activity Chief Executive Officer Alisa Bowen, who was hosting her first earnings call as fuboTV’s CEO, said major live events supported subscriber performance during the quarter. She cited engagement around the NBA Finals and the 2026 World Cup, which concluded roughly two and a half weeks before the call.
Disney: Forging a 3-Headed Sports Streaming Giant With Fubo DealBowen said fuboTV carried World Cup programming in English through Fox and in Spanish through Telemundo and Universo after renewing its NBCUniversal partnership for the Fubo service. The event supported total subscriber growth, with particular strength in enhanced Spanish-language offerings and Fubo-branded services, she said.
Chief Financial Officer John Janedis said the availability of World Cup programming had a favorable subscriber impact, though the company does not disclose performance for individual services. He contrasted a pro forma sequential subscriber decline of about 250,000 in the third quarter of 2025 with a sequential gain of 25,000 subscribers in the latest quarter.
Management said it expects some attrition following the tournament but views the event as a means of attracting higher-quality subscribers to Fubo. Bowen also said referrals from ESPN’s “Where to Watch” feature have converted from free trials to paid subscriptions at a higher rate than customers acquired through other channels, while showing favorable early retention trends.
Advertising Integration Shows Early Gains fuboTV said its migration of advertising inventory to the Disney Ad Server has produced double-digit year-over-year gains in CPMs and fill rates on the Fubo platform. Bowen said the technical elements of the advertising integration were completed in June and that fuboTV participated in Disney’s advertising upfront process for the first time this year.
Janedis said June was the Fubo business’s strongest month of advertising growth in at least several years. He added that CPMs rose year over year across news, sports and entertainment during the month, despite management’s prior discussion of softness in entertainment advertising.
Bowen said Disney’s audience-first sales approach enables advertisers to purchase the reach of the broader Disney portfolio while using audience-based targeting. She said Fubo’s sports viewing data and fan audiences can contribute to Disney’s Audience Graph, potentially improving monetization as advertisers pursue sports audiences across platforms.
Management said the advertising integration is tracking ahead of plan. Janedis said the company achieved CPM gains sooner than initially expected and identified advertising as a potential driver not only in the fourth quarter but also over subsequent quarters.
Strategy Focuses on Product Segmentation and Disney Collaboration Bowen said the company intends to retain Fubo and Hulu + Live TV as distinct products rather than combine them into one service. She said the brands appeal to different customer groups: Fubo maintains a sports-focused identity across news, sports and entertainment, while Hulu + Live TV has a broader entertainment proposition supported by Disney’s streaming bundles.
The company’s strategy is taking shape around four areas:
Optimizing pricing and package segmentation; Expanding the content portfolio with programming partners; Developing distribution and marketing partnerships; and Investing in technology, innovation and artificial intelligence. Bowen said fuboTV will provide additional detail on its strategic roadmap during its November earnings call. She said artificial intelligence is being used for search, content discovery, personalization, engineering workflows and marketing optimization. The company expects to introduce an AI-driven voice-search and discovery feature in time for football season.
Fubo also launched its Multiview feature on LG devices during the quarter. Bowen said the company plans to continue investing in user-interface innovation, while Disney is expected to bring Hulu + Live TV integration to the Disney+ application by the end of the calendar year.
Outlook Raised as Company Cites Balance Sheet Flexibility fuboTV ended the quarter with $236.4 million in cash equivalents and restricted cash and expects to finish the year with more than $200 million of cash. Janedis said the company’s cash balance exceeds the outstanding face value of its 2029 convertible notes, giving management “a lot of optionality.”
The company raised its fiscal 2026 pro forma adjusted EBITDA outlook to a range of $90 million to $100 million. It continues to target at least $300 million of adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2028 and positive free cash flow in fiscal 2027 and 2028 under its current operating plan.
Janedis said fuboTV will continue investing in programming, marketing, technology and product development. He also said the combined company has identified savings opportunities in vendor contracts and has already completed a handful of renewals at substantially improved rates. Programming-contract benefits are expected to emerge over a medium- to longer-term period as multiyear agreements come up for renewal.
Bowen also announced that co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Alberto Horihuela will transition toward the end of the year into a senior adviser role. He will remain with the company as Founder Advisor through 2027.

What's Next for fuboTV?While fuboTV has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for fuboTV was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.01 on $1.52 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.11 on $6.23 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Broadcast Radio and Television is currently in the top 45% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Gaiam (GAIA - Free Report) , has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 10.

Gaiam's revenues are expected to be $24.6 million, down 0.1% from the year-ago quarter.

Bowen is a respected industry veteran. She comes with a decade of leadership experience at Walt Disney (DIS +0.40%), most recently as the president of the entertainment giant's popular Disney+ streaming service.
Bowen is also credited with spearheading the growth of Hulu and ESPN+, where she demonstrated the ability to spur subscriber and profit gains.
Disney's backing should help Following FuboTV's combination with Disney's Hulu + Live TV business in early 2025, Disney owns roughly 70% of Fubo.
Installing a prominent former Disney executive as its new CEO should help to solidify that relationship. Investors are hopeful that the highly regarded Bowen will be able to shrewdly navigate shifting industry trends and position Fubo to achieve sustained profitability.
"Fubo has reached a pivotal moment in its strategic evolution, with a compelling Pay TV platform, strong content portfolio, and unique integration in the Disney ecosystem," Fubo board chair Andy Bird said.
Bowen intends to focus on Fubo's sports and news offerings as she seeks to strengthen the company's relationships with advertisers.

FuboTV (NYSE: FUBO) shares climbed about 11% after the company appointed former Disney+ president Alisa Bowen as its new chief executive officer, replacing co-founder David Gandler.
The company announced that Bowen assumed the role on July 10, bringing nearly three decades of experience across media, digital products and operations.
She spent almost 10 years at The Walt Disney Company, where she most recently served as president of Disney+ and helped lead the expansion of Disney’s streaming businesses, including Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+.
Before joining Disney, Bowen held leadership roles at News Corporation, Dow Jones and Thomson Reuters.
Fubo chairman Andy Bird said that Bowen’s appointment comes at a key point for the company following its combination with Hulu + Live TV last year. He highlighted her experience building streaming platforms and driving subscriber growth and profitability.
“Alisa is a proven operator who brings nearly 30 years of product, digital and operational experience, including leadership across Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+,” Bird said.
“She has an established track record of driving global subscriber growth and profitability, and we look forward to benefiting from her experience and expertise as Fubo enters its next chapter.”

Gandler, who co-founded Fubo and led the company for 11 years, resigned from the board and will not stand for re-election at the company’s annual meeting on July 28.

Wedbush analysts reaffirmed their bullish stance on FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) after the company issued a shareholder update detailing new financial targets tied to...
FuboTV has rebounded after a reverse stock split and positive financial projections, supported by the Disney/ESPN distribution deal. The sports streaming company is shifting focus from aggressive subscriber growth to margin expansion and sustainable cash flow, with EBITDA profitability targeted at $300M for FY27. The company targets a slightly positive net cash position in FY28.
Wedbush analysts reaffirmed their bullish stance on FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) after the company issued a shareholder update detailing new financial targets tied to its ongoing Hulu Live integration, framing the announcement as a step toward stabilizing investor expectations.
Wedbush reiterated its ‘Outperform’ rating and raised its price target to $24 on a split-adjusted basis, implying upside of about 100% from current levels of $12.
“We are optimistic that the combined company will be a more dominant competitor to YouTube Live TV than each is on a standalone basis,” they wrote. “Still, with much to prove, we are taking this opportunity at the beginning of Fubo’s integration story to reset to the low end of the range.”
The analysts described the shareholder letter as “proactive,” adding that the update helps establish a clearer baseline after recent uncertainty.
Fubo is guiding to $80 million to $100 million in pro forma adjusted EBITDA for 2026, modestly above Wedbush’s prior estimate. Looking further out, the company is targeting at least $300 million in adjusted EBITDA by 2028. Wedbush noted that improvements could be driven in part by lower wholesale fees paid to Disney and efficiencies across content and advertising.
The analysts also highlighted management’s expectations for at least $200 million in cash on hand by the end of 2026 and positive free cash flow in 2027 and 2028.
While acknowledging that Fubo remains “a show-me story that needs a clear vision,” Wedbush wrote that “this reset provides a floor for institutional investors to participate in upside over the next two years.”
The firm pointed to potential upside from synergies tied to the Hulu integration. “There remain several unknowns at this juncture, but we remain cautiously optimistic that Fubo can realize cost, revenue, and operational synergies through flexible programming, advertising optimization, and enhanced marketing opportunities,” they wrote. Notably, Fubo’s ad inventory is expected to be sold alongside Disney properties, which could support revenue growth.
Addressing content concerns, they noted that despite the removal of NBCU programming in late 2025, management said subscriber impact has been lower than expected. Fubo has begun cross-promoting Hulu + Live TV, which retains NBCU content, creating what Wedbush described as an internal upsell funnel.
The firm wrote that Fubo could benefit from leverage acquired expertise from Disney and platform advantages as Hulu + Live TV is expected to move onto the Disney+ app in 2026.
It added that the combined company’s scale as the number two player in the North American virtual Multichannel Video Programming Distributor market positions it to increase advertising revenue per user and compete more effectively with YouTube Live TV.
Despite the more optimistic outlook, Wedbush emphasized that execution remains key, noting there is still “much to prove” as the integration progresses.

The global streaming content industry has grown from a secondary media option into a primary force in how people consume entertainment and information. Subscription video, free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) platforms, live streaming and digital audio now make up a multibillion-dollar market, fueled by wide broadband access and the rise of connected TVs. This transition has created strong opportunities for companies such as Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL - Free Report) , Roku, Inc. (ROKU - Free Report) and FuboTV Inc. (FUBO - Free Report) , all of which are benefiting from streaming’s deeper influence across the media landscape.
Today’s streaming services serve nearly every major category, including on-demand video, live sports, music and podcasts. Advanced recommendation systems and personalization tools are also improving engagement by making content discovery easier and more relevant for users. In major markets, streaming has now surpassed traditional linear television, with Nielsen reporting that it represented more than 45% of total U.S. TV viewing time in December 2025.
Advertising is increasingly central to the business model as ad-supported options gain momentum. Lower-cost subscription tiers and FAST channels are attracting viewers seeking affordable choices, while programmatic advertising and stronger measurement capabilities are helping streaming platforms win a larger share of TV ad spending.
As growth matures, companies are shifting focus toward profitability, churn reduction and content efficiency. Future success will likely depend on monetization, user engagement, disciplined spending, global expansion and localized, AI-enhanced experiences.
If you’re looking to tap into this fast-growing trend, our Streaming Content Thematic Screen offers a simple way to spot promising stocks in the sector. Designed with advanced analytics, the screen highlights companies driving industry transformation, helping investors stay ahead of emerging opportunities.

FuboTV began in 2015 as a sports-first streaming service for cord-cutters who wanted live games. By April 2026, it has become a broader live TV platform, sharpened by its 2025 business combination with Hulu + Live TV. This evolution gives Fubo more scale, reach and operating leverage. In first-quarter fiscal 2026, the combined business ended with 6.2 million North America subscribers and positive pro forma adjusted EBITDA, showing the streaming model is getting sturdier as the platform matures.
The growth story is also getting more specific. Recent deals added Spectrum SportsNet LA for Dodgers coverage and BravesVision for Braves access, while Hulu + Live TV added Fubo Sports Network, which deepens sports inventory and helps Fubo stay differentiated.
Product execution looks stronger, too. In April, Fubo upgraded its iOS and Android apps with AI-powered features such as live video carousels, better Team Channels and instant key-play alerts. For sports fans, this makes the service more useful every day.
Fubo’s streaming business appears better positioned to grow smarter, not just bigger. Management now targets $80 million to $100 million in pro forma adjusted EBITDA for 2026, at least $300 million by 2028, and positive free cash flow in 2027. FUBO sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Roku’s streaming story started in 2008 with a Netflix player built to bring internet video to TV. Since then, it has grown into a broader platform business centered on discovery, ads, subscriptions, live sports and The Roku Channel itself.
This platform keeps getting larger. Roku finished 2025 with more than 90 million streaming households globally, 145.6 billion streaming hours and 18% platform revenue growth. Management sees continued double-digit platform revenue growth, supported by engagement, ad tools and a stronger home-screen experience.
The Roku Channel adds another layer of strength. It reached 6.3% of all TV streaming in December 2025 and gives Roku more control over ad inventory, promotion and attention. This matters as free streaming becomes a bigger part of viewing habits.
Internationally, Roku is widening its streaming footprint. It recently launched Howdy in Mexico and already operates The Roku Channel across the United States, Canada, Mexico and the U.K. The expansion suggests room to grow subscriptions and advertising beyond its core market.
Roku’s streaming outlook remains promising. New sports rights, subscription bundles, interactive discovery, and wider international monetization should deepen engagement and lift revenue per household. Roku looks well-positioned because it is building scale, content and monetization together, and management sees a path to 100 million streaming households this year. ROKU also sports a Zacks Rank #1.
Alphabet’s streaming story began with YouTube in 2005 and then widened from free user clips into a much broader platform. Today, it spans ad-supported video, YouTube TV, YouTube Music, YouTube Premium, podcasts, sports and a fast-growing connected TV presence.
This evolution matters because YouTube is no longer just a traffic machine. It is building a streaming bundle around subscriptions, creators and TV viewing. More watching is shifting to living rooms, where YouTube has become America’s leading streaming platform.
The subscription side is encouraging. YouTube Music and Premium reached 125 million subscribers, including trials, while management said YouTube subscriptions posted strong growth in 2025. New flexible YouTube TV plans should widen the funnel and improve choice without weakening reach.
There is a deeper advantage here: scale across formats. Podcasts now draw one billion monthly users on YouTube, and TV viewing keeps rising. This gives Alphabet more ways to sell ads, lift subscription value and keep creators inside one ecosystem.
The long-term case is simple. As streaming moves toward bundles, bigger screens and creator-first entertainment, Alphabet looks ready to win share. Its next phase should come from discovery, smarter ad tools, sports depth and more relationships beyond video. GOOGL has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)---- $FUBO #Q2--FuboTV Inc. (NYSE: FUBO) today announced that it will issue financial results for fiscal second quarter 2026 before the market opens on May 6, 2026. Following the release, Fubo Co-founder and CEO David Gandler and CFO John Janedis will host a conference call to review results and provide a brief business update. Conference Call Details: Date: Wednesday, May 6, 2026 Start Time: 10:00 a.m. ET Dial-In Details: Participant Toll-Free Dial-In Number (North America): 1 (800).
Gray Media (GTN - Free Report) is expected to deliver a year-over-year decline in earnings on lower revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended March 2026. This widely-known consensus outlook gives a good sense of the company's earnings picture, but how the actual results compare to these estimates is a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price.
The earnings report, which is expected to be released on May 7, might help the stock move higher if these key numbers are better than expectations. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While management's discussion of business conditions on the earnings call will mostly determine the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations, it's worth having a handicapping insight into the odds of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus EstimateThis broadcast television company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.32 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -39.1%.
Revenues are expected to be $759 million, down 2.9% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions TrendThe consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 95.46% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Earnings WhisperEstimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. This insight is at the core of our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction).
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Gray Media?For Gray Media, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Gray Media will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Gray Media would post a loss of$0.28 per share when it actually produced a loss of -$0.22, delivering a surprise of +21.43%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has beaten consensus EPS estimates three times.
Bottom LineAn earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Gray Media doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.
An Industry Player's Expected ResultsAnother stock from the Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry, fuboTV Inc. (FUBO - Free Report) , is soon expected to post loss of $0.06 per share for the quarter ended March 2026. This estimate indicates a year-over-year change of +75%. Revenues for the quarter are expected to be $1.6 billion, up 283.6% from the year-ago quarter.
The consensus EPS estimate for fuboTV has been revised 125% higher over the last 30 days to the current level. However, an equal Most Accurate Estimate has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0.00%.
This Earnings ESP, combined with its Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), makes it difficult to conclusively predict that fuboTV will beat the consensus EPS estimate. Over the last four quarters, the company surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
Stay on top of upcoming earnings announcements with the Zacks Earnings Calendar.

What's Next for fuboTV?While fuboTV has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for fuboTV was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.16 on $1.54 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.25 on $6.37 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Broadcast Radio and Television is currently in the bottom 25% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

People scoping out live TV streaming subscriptions on the Fubo website will now notice a new addition: Hulu Plus Live TV.
Fubo is now displaying its full content portfolio following the combining of Disney's Hulu Plus Live TV business with Fubo. Additional subscription options include Fubo Sports, Fubo Pro, Fubo Latino and Hulu Plus Live TV Español.
Disney and Fubo announced in October that their merger deal had closed, noting in a press release that people could still sign up for separate Fubo and Hulu Plus Live TV services. You can still stream Hulu Plus Live TV in the Hulu app and Fubo in the Fubo app.
With the new integration on Fubo's site, you can view a comparison chart with Fubo's pre-existing plans and Hulu Plus Live TV. Selecting "Try Hulu Plus Live TV" takes you straight to Hulu's site to sign up.
During an earnings call on Wednesday, Fubo CEO David Gandler noted that Hulu Live includes NBC and Versant networks, which Fubo hasn't offered since November due to a carriage dispute with NBCUniversal.
"Importantly, we believe we have successfully navigated the loss of NBCU on Fubo, even during a period when NBC held a dominant portion of February's sports programming," Gandler said. "Customers continued to access that content through Hulu Live, and incremental churn at the combined business during the quarter was minimal."
Fubo also announced during its earnings call that it plans to launch an AI assistant this fall that sports watchers can use to search content they have recorded for game highlights. Fubo is adding the assistant to its Roku, Apple TV and mobile apps to start, and it plans to extend it "to news and entertainment talk shows, enabling the Fubo app to instantly retrieve any clip our customers are looking for," Gandler said during the call.
FuboTV (FUBO +5.61%) stock saw a big pullback in Wednesday's trading following the company's latest quarterly report. The streaming specialist's share price closed out the daily session down 15.9%.
Before the market opened today, FuboTV published results for the second quarter of its 2026 fiscal year -- a period that ended March 31. While the company's per-share loss in the period was far lower than anticipated, sales missed Wall Street's targeted level.

Revenue rises on reported basis, pro forma growth modest Disney 2025 Shareholders: Major Updates for InvestorsCFO John Janedis said North American revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $1.566 billion, compared with $1.125 billion in the prior-year period. On a pro forma basis, prior-year revenue was $1.556 billion, representing 1% year-over-year growth.
Fubo ended the quarter with 5.7 million total North American subscribers, compared with 5.9 million in the prior-year period. Janedis said the company will discuss results on both an as-reported and pro forma basis to help investors compare periods following the Hulu + Live TV transaction.
Disney: Forging a 3-Headed Sports Streaming Giant With Fubo DealThe company reported a second-quarter net loss of $6.2 million, compared with a reported net loss of $40.9 million in the prior-year period. Pro forma net income in the prior-year period was $120.6 million, which Janedis said was positively affected by a $220 million net gain related to litigation settlement. Earnings per share for the quarter reflected a loss of $0.07.
Adjusted EBITDA was $37.7 million in the quarter, compared with pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $1.4 million in the prior-year period. Fubo ended the quarter with $244 million in cash equivalents and restricted cash, and management said it still expects to finish the year with more than $200 million of cash on the balance sheet.
Management reaffirms EBITDA and cash flow outlook Janedis said Fubo continues to expect fiscal 2026 pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $80 million to $100 million and at least $300 million in fiscal 2028. The company also expects positive free cash flow in fiscal 2027 and fiscal 2028 under its current operating plan.
He said the outlook is supported in part by the company’s commercial agreement tied to Hulu + Live TV carriage costs. Under that agreement, Fubo receives a wholesale fee relative to Hulu + Live TV’s carriage cost, currently 95% in calendar 2026 and scaling to 99% by 2028. Janedis said that contractual step-up provides visibility into the company’s expected earnings profile and adjusted EBITDA expansion.
During the analyst question-and-answer session, Drew Crum of B. Riley asked why the company’s first-half adjusted EBITDA of $79 million implied a step-down in the second half based on full-year guidance. Gandler said Fubo’s sports-focused business is seasonal, with 40% to 50% of gross additions typically generated in the final fiscal quarter, and said the company expects to spend more on marketing while balancing profitability and growth. Janedis added that the second quarter included a $6.5 million above-the-line tax-related benefit.
Advertising migration to Disney platform shows early gains Gandler said Fubo began migrating its advertising business to the Disney ad server in February and is seeing early benefits, including increases in fill rates and CPMs.
In response to a question from Kutgun Maral of Evercore ISI, Janedis said the migration had been underway for less than 90 days and that Fubo had already seen improvement in both CPMs and fill rate, the key components of advertising ARPU. He said CPM improvement came faster than expected and that the migration is expected to be fully completed by the end of the year. At that point, he said, Fubo ad ARPU is expected to converge with Hulu + Live TV’s.
Janedis said the largest component of adjusted EBITDA improvement will come from the contractual wholesale fee increase from 95% to 99%, while advertising monetization improvement is tracking in line with or better than expectations.
Fubo highlights flexible packaging and sports strategy Gandler said the Hulu + Live TV combination expands Fubo’s strategic position by allowing the company to offer a range of content packages at different price points. He said the company is focused on serving distinct consumer segments rather than relying on a single bundle.
He pointed to Spanish-language offerings as one example. Fubo now offers Fubo Latino, a lighter bundle without Univision, and Hulu + Live TV Español, a more comprehensive package launched during the quarter that includes Univision. Gandler also cited Fubo Sports, the core Fubo bundle and Hulu + Live TV’s broader entertainment package.
Gandler said the company believes it “successfully navigated” the loss of NBCU on Fubo, including during a period in which NBC held significant February sports programming. He said customers continued to access that content through Hulu + Live TV and that incremental churn at the combined business during the quarter was minimal.
Asked by Brent Penter of Raymond James about regional sports networks, Gandler said Fubo added 14 local baseball teams in a short period of time, along with the Dodgers, Braves and Mets before opening day. He said those additions helped offset subscriber losses tied to the NBCU drop and that Fubo remains focused on its position in local sports.
On World Cup opportunities, Janedis said the event may provide an incremental opportunity, particularly for Fubo Sports because of its lower price point. He said prior World Cups had not had a major impact on ad revenue, but this year the company has several sponsorships and may benefit from a more favorable time zone. He said the marketing team expects an uplift in trials, with potential upside based on conversion.
AI assistant planned for fall launch Gandler said Fubo plans to launch its first AI conversational feature within the Fubo app this fall, beginning with sports. The AI assistant is expected to allow customers to use natural voice commands to search DVR content for game highlights and recommendations.
He said Fubo expects to add the assistant first to Roku, Apple TV and mobile apps, with plans to extend it later to news and entertainment talk shows. Gandler described the conversational layer as a potential next phase of aggregation, saying discovery itself can become part of the product.
In response to a question from Laura Martin of Needham & Company, Gandler said about 35% of Fubo’s code is now completed with AI and that roughly 200 employees use ChatGPT or Claude Code to improve effectiveness and efficiency. He said some top engineers “actually don’t code anymore,” though he noted there is still a learning curve.
Gandler said the company’s international efforts are likely to be placed on the back burner following the Hulu + Live TV combination, as management focuses on domestic growth and near-term initiatives tied to the combined business.

Streaming media expert Dan Rayburn explains why he's focused on packaging, bundling and distribution of content services. Netflix's (NFLX) balance sheet transparency and management's willingness to walk away from costly deals reinforce its long-term strategic positioning and shareholder alignment.
Streaming content is entering a more mature phase as the industry shifts from rapid subscriber acquisition to steadier monetization. Platforms are no longer chasing subscribers at any cost. Instead, they are building more efficient content pipelines, expanding ad-supported tiers and using premium programming to deepen viewer loyalty. This transition suggests the industry is moving toward a more sustainable operating model and has created strong opportunities for companies such as Fox Corporation (FOXA - Free Report) , FuboTV Inc. (FUBO - Free Report) and CuriosityStream Inc. (CURI - Free Report) , all of which are benefiting from streaming’s deeper influence across the media landscape.
Recent viewing trends show that streaming continues to gain share in the broader media landscape. Nielsen data showed streaming captured 47.5% of total U.S. TV viewing in December 2025, the highest share ever reported in The Gauge. Christmas Day also became the most-streamed day on record, generating more than 55 billion viewing minutes, highlighting the role of premium releases and live sports in drawing large audiences.
The industry also has multiple growth levers working in its favor. Cord-cutting continues to redirect audiences away from traditional pay-TV, while connected-TV adoption is creating a larger base for targeted advertising. Bundles, international originals, live sports and lower-cost ad-supported plans are helping platforms appeal to both cost-conscious consumers and advertisers seeking measurable reach.
The outlook for streaming content appears favorable, but not without challenges. PwC projects global entertainment and media revenues to rise to $3.5 trillion by 2029, with advertising spending expected to grow much faster than consumer spending. For streaming platforms, the next stage of growth will depend on balancing audience expansion, pricing discipline, ad monetization and controlled content investment.
If you’re looking to tap into this fast-growing trend, our Streaming Content Thematic Screen offers a simple way to spot promising stocks in the sector. Designed with advanced analytics, the screen highlights companies driving industry transformation, helping investors stay ahead of emerging opportunities.

FOX’s streaming strategy took shape in 2020, when it acquired Tubi and chose free, ad-supported streaming instead of chasing the costly subscription race. This approach expanded in 2025 with FOX One, a paid service built with technology from Tubi Media Group and focused on live FOX news, sports, local stations and entertainment.
Together, the two services give FOX a clearer streaming structure: Tubi serves viewers who want free, easy-to-access entertainment, while FOX One targets fans who want the full FOX experience without a traditional cable bundle.
Tubi’s scale, with more than 100 million monthly active users, a deep library, creator-led programming and hundreds of originals, gives FOX a strong base for future advertising growth. As FOX adds more creator content, originals and event-related hubs, Tubi can become a stickier destination for younger and lighter TV viewers.
FOX One should also gain importance as live content shifts online. Its Roku availability improves access, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup gives FOX a major showcase, with every match streaming live on FOX One and Tubi supporting broader discovery.
FOX is not trying to copy global streamers. It is using strengths it already owns: live news, major sports, local reach and free entertainment. With disciplined execution, streaming is expected to expand FOX’s audience, support distribution and become a lasting growth driver. FOXA sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Fubo began in 2015 as a soccer-first streaming service for fans who wanted live sports without cable. It has since grown into a broader sports-first live TV platform, and after its 2025 combination with Disney’s Hulu + Live TV business, it now combines Fubo’s sports-led bundle with Hulu + Live TV’s entertainment reach. The combination gives the company more ways to serve viewers across budgets, languages and habits, with options, including Fubo Sports, Fubo Pro, Fubo Latino, Hulu + Live TV and Hulu + Live TV Español.
The outlook is supported by management’s targets. Fubo reaffirmed fiscal 2026 pro forma adjusted EBITDA guidance of $80 million to $100 million, expects positive free cash flow in fiscal 2027 and 2028, and is targeting at least $300 million in adjusted EBITDA by fiscal 2028.
Sports remain central, with Fubo Sports Network expanding through European Football Alliance programming and Tracy McGrady’s Ones Basketball League, while the platform leans on local sports, football, baseball and World Cup demand.
Fubo has growth levers. ESPN linkouts and ESPN e-commerce placement in 2027 could widen acquisition, Disney advertising support may improve monetization, and Fubo’s AI assistant could make sports discovery faster, stickier and more personalized. FUBO has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
CuriosityStream launched its streaming service in 2015, targeting viewers who wanted documentaries and factual programming across science, history, technology, nature and civilization. Since then, it has moved beyond a niche subscription app into a broader streaming and licensing business built around content.
The subscription business remains important. Management has pointed to minimal churn after price increases, suggesting viewers still see value. CuriosityStream also reaches customers through direct subscriptions, bundles and partnerships, giving it several paths to grow revenues.
A key growth area is licensing, especially as demand for AI training content expands. The company has built a library of rights to above three million hours of content across factual, sports, news, entertainment, animation and film, supported by more than 200 content and data partners.
Management expects AI and data licensing to become a larger growth engine, with demand expanding across physical AI, video understanding and enterprise applications. This could make CuriosityStream more than a consumer streaming name, as its content becomes useful to technology customers.
CuriosityStream appears well-positioned. Its 2026 revenue guidance of $75 million to $80 million, rising EBITDA outlook, positive free cash flow record and debt-free balance sheet give it the flexibility to invest and grow. CURI has a Zacks Rank of 2.
