News Corp (US65249B2088) closed at $29.16 on August 14, 2026, with an intraday market cap of $15.756 billion and a 52-week range of $22.20 to $31.61. The stock was up 0.76% at that close, and the latest quote also shows a 1-year target estimate of $35.54.
Q4 fiscal 2026
The company's latest reported quarter showed revenue of $2.34 billion and earnings of $179 million in Q4 fiscal 2026, while adjusted EPS rose 84.2% year over year. Yahoo Finance's figures also put operating margin at 11.4% in the quarter, against a 10.8% revenue increase and an actual adjusted EPS of $0.35 versus an estimate of $0.23.
Analysts stay constructive
That earnings mix matters because the current valuation still sits at 28.31 times trailing earnings, while forward P/E is 22.62 and enterprise value to EBITDA is 10.56. On the same dashboard, seven of eight analysts are marked Strong Buy and the average target stands at $35.54, which is 22.1% above the August 14 close.

News Corp's business still leans on a broad media mix that includes Dow Jones, digital real estate, news media and book publishing. That portfolio gives the company exposure to subscription revenue, advertising, property listings and content licensing rather than a single line of business.
What the shares price in
For investors, the key comparison is simple: a $29.16 share price sits below the $31.61 52-week high, while the target estimate points materially higher than the last close. The next earnings date is listed as November 5, 2026, which gives the market a defined date for the next update.
