Buy

$58.00

34.63%

After taking another look at News Corp's 3Q26 results, which were strong and outlined below, UBS upgrades its target to $58 from $56 with an unchanged Buy rating.

EPS forecasts are raised by 9% for FY26 and 8% for FY27.

Notably, the stock is viewed as trading on an attractive 10x FY27 earnings (EBITDA) valuation which is marginally above the five-year average, but this is viewed as justified as the company has "macro resilient" earnings drivers, the analyst states.

***

News Corp announced a strong 3Q26 result, according to UBS at first take, with both revenue and earnings (EBITDA) beating expectations and consensus.

The stand-outs noted by the analyst include Dow Jones earnings (EBITDA) with risk and energy the main earnings drivers. Ongoing geopolitical conflicts are attributed as the factor for the resilient growth.

Move was also highlighted with a beat at the top line due to premium listing in an otherwise weak US housing market. NewsMedia remained "soft" and was affected by the launch of California post.

Buy. Target $58.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 29.82 cents and EPS of 163.98 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 29.82 cents and EPS of 202.74 cents.

Overweight

$46.30

7.47%

Jarden rates News Corp Overweight with an unchanged $46.30 target price following a solid third-quarter result beating market expectations on the back of strong Dow Jones performance.

Group revenue grew 8.8% to US$2,185m and underlying earnings jumped 18% to US$343m, driven by robust momentum across the Professional Information Services division and higher physical and digital book sales.

A softer News Media segment weighed slightly on the result due to costs associated with the California Post launch.

Management continues executing an accelerated share buyback program while progressing discussions with artificial intelligence companies to monetise proprietary data.

The report leaves valuation metrics steady, highlighting potential upside from further tech partnerships and a broader recovery in digital real estate volumes.
