FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) announced preliminary Q3 numbers on October 17 that came ahead of management’s expectations. The solid Q3 numbers highlight the company’s ability to drive subscriber growth and revenue even amid challenges, indicating that the company could navigate the current crisis with ease. However, macro weakness and cost headwinds could limit the upside in FUBO stock in the near term.
For Q3, FUBO expects to report revenues of $210 million in NA (North America), up 34% year-over-year and higher than its prior forecast of $200-$205 million. As for the ROW (Rest of World), revenues are expected to be $5.5 million, within its earlier guidance range of $5-6 million.
Its paid subscribers in NA are expected to exceed 1,220,000 in Q3, compared to its previous guidance of 1,135,000-1,155,000. Following the announcement, FUBO stock gained about 10% in after-hours trading.
Notably, FUBO offers a sports-first live TV streaming platform. Its stock has declined about 74% year-to-date due to the macro weakness and increase in content costs. FUBO expects to report a negative adjusted EBITDA of $100 million in Q3, which indicates a further widening of the losses. This could limit the recovery in FuboTV stock in the short term. FUBO will report its Q3 results on November 4.
