News Corp (ISIN US65249B2088) traded at USD 29.62 on Nasdaq at 4:28 p.m. on September 22, 2026, down 0.3 percent during the session. The shares were 6.85 percent below their 52-week high of USD 31.65, recorded on August 28, 2026.
Revenue reached USD 2.34 billion
For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, revenue rose to USD 2.34 billion from USD 2.11 billion a year earlier, an increase of 10.81 percent. The same report put earnings per share at USD 0.33, compared with USD 0.05 in the prior-year quarter, making the earnings comparison more pronounced than the revenue increase.
According to IT BOLTWISE on September 22, 2026, News Corp also continued an authorized share buyback program of up to USD 1 billion, covering its Nasdaq-listed Class A and Class B shares. That capital-return framework provides a separate support factor from the operating result, although it does not remove the distance to the yearly high.
Yearly range remains wide
The September 22, 2026 session opened at USD 30.02 and reached an intraday low of USD 29.59, while the 52-week low stood at USD 22.20 on February 10, 2026. The difference between the yearly low and the latest intraday price shows a broad USD 7.42 range between the two reference points.
MarketScreener listed a September 21, 2026 Nasdaq closing price of USD 29.70 and an average price target of USD 36.16. The target was USD 6.46 above that close, equivalent to a calculated 21.75 percent gap, but the available market view does not identify a specific analyst house or provide an old and new target pair.
