Approach 1: FuboTV Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

A Discounted Cash Flow, or DCF, model estimates what a business could be worth today by projecting its future cash flows and then discounting those back to a present value using a required rate of return.

For FuboTV, the latest twelve month Free Cash Flow (FCF) is a loss of about US$324.1 million. Analysts provide FCF estimates out to 2029, and the model then extends those projections further. By 2035, the extrapolated FCF used in the model reaches about US$679.5 million, with intermediate years such as 2030 and 2031 using US$427 million and about US$490.6 million respectively. Simply Wall St applies a 2 Stage Free Cash Flow to Equity approach, which allows for one phase of earlier projections followed by a more mature phase.

Adding up and discounting these projected cash flows leads to an estimated intrinsic value of US$66.28 per share. Compared with the recent share price of US$12.04, this implies an intrinsic discount of 81.8%, which indicates that the stock is valued well below this DCF estimate.

Approach 2: FuboTV Price vs Sales

For companies where profits are limited or earnings are volatile, the P/S ratio is often a more practical yardstick than P/E because it anchors valuation to revenue rather than net income. Investors usually expect higher P/S multiples when they see stronger growth potential and lower perceived risk, and lower multiples when growth is uncertain or risks are higher.

FuboTV currently trades on a P/S ratio of about 0.07x. That sits well below the Interactive Media and Services industry average of 1.02x and the peer group average of about 1.21x. On the surface, this points to a large discount compared with many revenue based peers.

Simply Wall St’s Fair Ratio for FuboTV is 0.69x. This reflects a proprietary model that looks at factors such as earnings growth, industry, profit margins, market cap and company specific risks. This Fair Ratio can be more useful than a straight comparison with industry or peer averages because it attempts to align the multiple with FuboTV’s own profile rather than a broad group of companies that may have different risk and growth characteristics. Compared with the current P/S of 0.07x, the Fair Ratio indicates that the stock is trading well below that model based estimate.

Result: UNDERVALUED
