Fubo Stock Declines 3.4% as Investor Caution Hinders Response to HD Streaming Enhancements
FuboTV's stock fell 3.4% to $10.23 on August 21, despite a 3.8% weekly gain and a 2% YoY increase in North American subscribers to 5.75 million. Revenue was steady at $1.482 billion, but adjusted EBITDA dropped 38% to $19.1 million.
