Silver Law Group is investigating fuboTV Inc. (FUBO) on behalf of investors for potential violations of federal securities laws. fuboTV Inc. is a live streaming platform that allows customers to access sports, entertainment, and news in the United States and Europe. Motley Fool Article Alleges “Big Problem With FuboTV Stock” On January 4, 2021, The Motley Fool published an article on its website with the title “There’s a Big Problem With FuboTV Stock”. The article said that despite fuboTV stock making huge gains in 2020, the company was “wildly unprofitable” and characterized it as trying “to put lipstick on a pig with a creative metric.” The article said that the company’s “adjusted contribution margin”, supposedly showing profitability, was “meaningless” and showed how quickly subscribers were being gained, not profitability. The article called this a red flag, and fuboTV’s stock fell over 13% the day the article was published.Silver Law Group is investigating fuboTV Inc.
