FuboTV Struggles Amid Streaming Competition but Finds Hope in Disney Deal

FuboTV (FUBO -4.08%) continues to carve out a niche in the crowded live-TV streaming market, targeting sports fans and cord-cutters. Despite its ambitions, the company faces significant challenges, including declining subscriber numbers and persistent losses. North American paid subscribers dropped to 1.47 million in Q1 2025, down from 1.676 million the previous quarter, while free cash FLOW remained negative at $62 million.

International performance offered little respite, with an 11% year-over-year decline in subscribers and stagnant revenue. However, a recent partnership with Disney (DIS -0.90%) has injected cautious Optimism into Fubo's outlook. While the deal may not fully reverse the company's fortunes, it provides much-needed momentum for investors willing to bet on a turnaround.
