Is FuboTV Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold in 2025?
The company's potential tie-in with Disney is exciting, but it's unclear how much investment upside there is from here.
Sports-centric live TV streaming company FuboTV (NYSE: FUBO) started 2025 on a high note. The company announced a deal in early January to merge with Walt Disney's (NYSE: DIS) Hulu + Live TV. Once merged, the entity would be roughly 70% owned by Disney but remain public under the FuboTV name and ticker. It would own both streaming services but operate them independently. They have 6.2 million subscribers between them.
The merger also ended the litigation between FuboTV and Disney related to anti-competitive practices in the sports media landscape. Partnering with Disney, which owns the ESPN sports media empire, seems like a natural fit for FuboTV.
Since the announcement, FuboTV stock has more than doubled to over $3 per share. However, the deal isn't fully finalized yet. It's unclear whether regulators will allow the deal, and the financial implications for FuboTV will vary depending on whether it closes.
