FuboTV Inc. Repurchase of Convertible Notes and Market Context
Repurchase of Convertible Notes On 14 January 2026, FuboTV Inc. announced the repurchase of $140.2 million of its convertible notes that were due in 2026. The transaction was reported by Seeking Alpha and represents a significant reduction in the company’s outstanding debt.
Channel Lineup Comparison In the same week, CNET published a comparative review of six major live‑TV streaming services—Sling, YouTube TV, Hulu Plus Live TV, DirecTV, and Fubo—focusing on channel selection, pricing, and availability of sports content. The article highlighted that Fubo, while competing with the other platforms, has a gap in its lineup due to an unresolved carriage dispute with NBCUniversal. This dispute has prevented the inclusion of certain NBCUniversal channels in Fubo’s current offering.
Stock Market Reaction The repurchase and the broader competitive landscape influenced Fubo’s share price on 12 January 2026. While the company’s stock rose by 3.14 % at the close of that day, it traded above peers such as SBGI (+1.55 %) and IHRT (+1.06 %). The movement suggests a company‑specific response rather than a sector‑wide shift.
