FuboTV (NYSE:FUBO) stock is climbing higher on Friday following the release of the streaming service’s earnings report for the second quarter of 2022.

Helping out FUBO stock today is the company’s adjusted earnings per share (EPS) loss of 63 cents. That’s better than the -69 cents per share Wall Street had expected. It’s also better than the 68 cent loss reported in the same period in 2021.

That said, one negative from the FuboTV earnings report is its revenue of $221.9 million. That came in below the $226.6 million in revenue analysts had looked for in the period. However, it still marks a 70% increase year-over-year (YOY) from $130.9 million in 2021.

Fueling that increase in revenue is North American subscription revenue growth of 70% YOY. Also, the company saw ad revenue for Q2 2022 grow 32% from Q2 2021.
