Shares of fuboTV Inc jumped 10% in their market debut on Thursday, after the streaming provider raised $183 million in its upsized initial public offering.
Stock opened at $11 per share on the New York Stock Exchange, compared to the IPO price of $10 per share.
At the debut price, fuboTV was valued at $684.3 million.
The company sold 18.3 million shares in its offering, up from its aim of selling 15 million shares between $9 and $11 apiece.

In March, fuboTV announced that it would merge with virtual entertainment firm FaceBank Group Inc, in a deal that valued fuboTV at $700 million. (https://reut.rs/33GrJOp)
