Communications services companies experienced a decline, although it was not as significant as the broader market. Despite this, the communications services industry group continues to show strong gains, outperforming all other sectors in the S&P 500. In recent news, sports-centric streaming service FuboTV has filed a lawsuit against media companies involved in a new sports-streaming platform. The lawsuit alleges that these companies hindered FuboTV’s efforts to offer a similar service. Additionally, a federal appeals court has overturned a $1 billion verdict against Cox Communications, an internet provider, in a case involving music publishers. The court has ordered a new trial to determine the amount of damages that Cox Communications should be liable for due to illegal downloads by its customers.
