- FuboTV reports earnings after the close on Thursday.
- FUBO stock is down 80% in 2022 as Netflix and Fed rate hikes hit growth stocks.
- The TV company may be set for recovery after dovish FOMC meeting.
FUBO stock made a significant gain on Wednesday as a relief rally permeated through all sectors of the stock market thanks to a dovish Fed meeting. Beaten-down growth names with obvious high-beta credentials were always likely to outperform and so it proved. By the close FUBO stock had gained over 8% to $4.57.

However, FUBO remains mired in an aggressive decoupling from pandemic momentum. The stock is down a huge 86% over the last six months.
FUBO stock news: Only needs to avoid too negative surprise
Buy-the-dip takes on new meaning with such a significant fall. Where exactly is the dip? At least, now with FUBO, you know the downside is limited to a $5 loss per share as the once-retail meme crowd favorite has slid from $62 in December 2020. So when if ever is it time to buy FUBO?
We naturally argue the risk-reward is to the upside from this earnings release. Netflix hit the sector hard and so bad news has largely been priced in. The current short-term environment is likely to see some very strong rallies from names such as FUBO that are down 70% plus over the past 6 months. But first, FUBO needs to get earnings out of the way.
Revenue is expected to show continued improvement to $242.6 million. This would represent a growth rate of over 100% year on year. Earnings per share (EPS) is due to come in at $-0.53. The problem for FUBO is not on the revenue side, though, it is on the cost basis. Revenue has ballooned from $5.8 million in September 2019 to $231 million by the end of December 2021. However, in the same time period operating income has gone from a $7 million loss to a $106 million loss. So what the hell is FUBO doing? Stock-based compensation has risen from 0 to $17 million in this period while long-term debt has ballooned.
No real surprise to see the stock trade some 80% lower in a monetary tightening environment.
While we remain negative on the stock on a long-term framework we acknowledge that current equity positioning, sentiment, and risk-reward favor more upside in the short term. All FUBO has to do is not surprise too much.
