News Corp (ISIN US65249B2088) closed at USD 29.19 on Nasdaq on September 22, 2026, down 1.7 percent from the previous close. The stock remained 7.8 percent below its 52-week high of USD 31.65, while its 52-week low stood at USD 22.20.
Revenue reached USD 2.34 billion
The latest reported quarter gives the shares a concrete operating anchor. According to Yahoo Finance on September 22, 2026, News Corp reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of USD 2.34 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, compared with USD 2.11 billion in the prior-year quarter. That represents growth of approximately 10.9 percent.
Adjusted earnings per share reached USD 0.35 in Q4 2026, nearly double the prior-year result, according to Yahoo Finance. A separate market report recorded reported EPS of USD 0.33 for the same quarter, against USD 0.05 in Q4 2025, and revenue of USD 2.34 billion versus USD 2.11 billion a year earlier, as reported by Finanzen on September 22, 2026.
Digital segments support the case
The composition of the quarter matters as much as the headline revenue number. Dow Jones revenue increased 7 percent in Q4 2026, while digital real-estate services revenue rose 19 percent, according to Yahoo Finance. The two figures point to a business mix in which subscription, data and digital property services are providing visible growth contributions alongside the traditional publishing portfolio.
Analyst expectations also remain above the recent market price. On September 22, 2026, Yahoo Finance reported a consensus Strong Buy rating from eight analysts and a mean price target of USD 36.76. Relative to the USD 29.19 close, that target is USD 7.57 higher, or 25.9 percent above the reference price.
Stock stays below the yearly peak
The market setup is balanced between strong recent operating comparisons and a pullback from the yearly high. News Corp stock had gained nearly 20 percent over the three months reported on September 22, 2026, while the 52-week performance was down 4.2 percent, according to Yahoo Finance. That contrast makes the Q4 revenue increase from USD 2.11 billion to USD 2.34 billion especially relevant for judging whether operating improvement can translate into a sustained rerating.
News Corp stock closed at USD 29.19 on Nasdaq on September 22, 2026, after falling 1.7 percent during that session. The quote was 7.8 percent below the 52-week high of USD 31.65 and 31.5 percent above the 52-week low of USD 22.20.
