fuboTV (NYSE: FUBO) operates
a live TV streaming platform for live sports events, as well as

platform allows users to access content via streaming devices and
Smart TVs. Valued at a market cap of $2.85 billion, FUBO stock is
down 68% from 52-week highs.
Let’s see if FUBO stock should be
part of your portfolio right now, given its massive decline this
year.
fuboTV set to experience stellar growth
In Q3 of 2021, fuboTV reported
revenue of $156.7 million which was an increase of 156% year over
year. Its number of subscribers also doubled to 944,605 in Q3. The
company added 262,884 net subscribers in Q3 which was more than the
total number of additions in the whole of 2020.
This stellar growth meant fuboTV
customers streamed 284 million hours of content on its platform, an
increase of 113% year over year.
Its adjusted contribution margin
or ACM rose by 189 basis points to 12.4% on the back of a 10%
increase in average revenue per user.
fuboTV forecast 2021 sales
between $612 million and $617 million, up 135% compared to sales of
$217.7 million in 2020. The company expects to end the year with
between 1.06 million and 1.07 million subscribers.
fuboTV recently surpassed the one
million subscriber mark which is a remarkable feat given it ended
Q2 of 2020 with a subscriber base of 286,000. The million
subscriber milestone indicates increased relevance, leverage, and
influence with content partners and sporting leagues. It also
provides the company with additional data points that can be used
to improve product development as well as generate ad-sales
opportunities.
The long-term drivers of fuboTV
remain intact as consumers will continue to choose streaming
services over traditional pay-TV platforms considering they get
access to a more personalized viewing experience.
Further, fuboTV is confident
about the strength of its product offering and its modern
technology stack that will help it expand its subscriber base at a
robust pace going forward.
Focus on acquisitions
fuboTV recently announced it
closed the acquisition of Molotov SAS which is the leading live
streaming company in France. Its offerings include a
direct-to-consumer live TV streaming service and an advertising
video-on-demand service called Mango. The acquisition will provide
fuboTV with access to four million monthly active users.
fuboTV also announced the
acquisition of Edisn.ai which is an India-based AI-powered computer
vision platform with patent-pending video recognition technologies.
The acquisition will allow fuboTV to create an interactive and
immersive live TV experience.
What next for FUBO stock investors?
Despite its exciting growth
metrics, fuboTV stock has grossly underperformed the broader
markets in 2021. One major reason for this is the company’s
widening losses. In Q3, its operating expenses stood at 165% of
total revenue which indicates its current customer acquisition
costs are unsustainable. It reported a net loss of $106 million in
the quarter ended in September 2021.
However, investors should also
understand that top-line growth is helping fuboTV to improve
margins and
leverage its cost
structure. For example,
operating costs as a percentage of sales stood at 234% in Q3 of
2019 and 207% in 2020.
Analysts tracking the stock
expect fuboTV sales to rise by 184% to $619 million in 2021 and 72% to $1.06
billion in 2022. This will allow it to narrow the loss per share
from $7.4 in 2021 to $2.31 in 2020.
fuboTV’s subscriber growth,
recent acquisitions, and improving bottom-line make it a top bet
for investors at its current valuation. FUBO stock is valued at a
forward price to 2022 sales multiple of less than 3x which is very
reasonable. Wall Street expects FUBO stock to touch $44.62 in the
next 12-months which is over 100% above its current trading
price.
