A stock in early January that saw a significant increase in volume was fuboTV Inc. (NYSE: FUBO). Based out of New York City, FUBO is a streaming television service that serves as a replacement for cable. On January 6th <\/sup>it was announced that The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) purchased a 70% majority stake of FUBO and the share price jumped from $1.42 at the previous close to $5.69 at the end of the day. A significant spike in volume occurred right after the deal was announced and would continue through the week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the sudden 300% price increase, the number of borrowers has remained steady. Per the Orbisa Securities Lending Dashboard<\/a>, on January 3rd<\/sup>, the Friday before the deal, the On-Loan Quantity was 38 million shares. This value shows the total quantity of the security on loan between securities lending market participants. Not every participant reports their borrow and loan contracts, so the figure does not include those contracts. On January 9th <\/sup>(after the deal was announced) the On-Loan Quantity sat at 37 million. The Value-on-Loan has increased significantly, however the quantity has remained steady. We are not seeing short sellers short any more or less than before the deal, but the 300% price increase has caused the value <\/em>of the shares on loan to jump. Utilization and the Short Interest Indicator have remained consistent as well, showing that there has not been a change in short sellers\u2019 attitude toward FUBO despite its strong week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IBKR has a vast shortable inventory with competitive borrow fees and extensive availability, including FUBO shares, which allows us to maintain relatively consistent borrow fees despite the quick price increase. Prior to the deal, the borrow fee was 0.56% annualized. For the entirety of the following week, the fee never rose above 0.61% and reached as low as 0.33%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently we are seeing locates available from 11 different securities lending counterparties. FUBO has over 311 million shares outstanding and is widely available on the street for shorting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the recent acquisition, it will be fascinating to see how Disney handles their newest product and their plan to integrate FUBO\u2019s strengths with their own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
