Key Figures
Market Reality Check
Peers on Argus
LVO was down 0.6% pre-news, while only one tracked peer in momentum (RDI) showed a notable move, up about 4.67%, and other peers were mixed or flat. This points to stock-specific dynamics rather than a sector-wide move.
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 12 | Q3 earnings report | Neutral | -3.1% | Reported Fiscal 2026 YTD revenue, Audio division performance, and major OpEx cuts. |
| Feb 11 | Earnings date notice | Neutral | +5.7% | Announced Q3 results release date and webcast to discuss performance. |
| Feb 05 | Preliminary results | Neutral | -5.6% | Provided preliminary Q3 and YTD Fiscal 2026 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA figures. |
| Jan 08 | Partnership milestones | Positive | -4.3% | Closed <b>$65M+</b> partnership revenue and highlighted record B2B pipeline and member growth. |
| Dec 18 | Partnership renewal | Positive | -0.4% | Renewed and expanded DAX partnership with projected <b>30%</b> YoY increase in ad revenue. |
Recent positive operational and partnership headlines often coincided with flat-to-negative next-day moves, indicating a tendency toward muted or contrarian price reactions to good news.
Over the past few months, LiveOne has focused on B2B growth and cost efficiencies. On Dec 18, 2025, it renewed and expanded its DAX partnership, projecting a 30% programmatic audio ad revenue increase. By Jan 8, 2026, it had closed $65M+ in partnership revenue and built a pipeline of 100+ deals. Earnings updates on Feb 5, Feb 11, and Feb 12, 2026 highlighted revenue trends, Audio division strength, and large OpEx cuts. Today’s VIZIO integration fits this ongoing B2B and distribution expansion narrative.
Regulatory & Risk Context
An effective S-3 shelf dated Aug 29, 2025 registers resale of common stock and warrants by existing holders. The company would receive up to $30,000 only if all registered warrants are exercised for cash. The filing also discloses going-concern risks, significant indebtedness, and potential dilution from convertible securities and warrants.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement adds another distribution channel as LiveOne brings its app to VIZIO Smart TVs, extending access within a B2B footprint that already exceeds 1.3+ billion MAUs. It follows earlier partnership wins and cost-cutting efforts but comes alongside SEC filings citing revenue declines, net losses, and going-concern risks. Investors may watch how new TV-based usage translates into revenue, margins, and any future use of the existing S-3 resale shelf.
