News Corp stock (ISIN US65249B1098) was last at USD 28.55 on Nasdaq on October 6, 2026, down 1.38 percent from the prior close. The company entered the market's next phase with fiscal 2026 revenue of USD 9.03 billion, up 7 percent year over year, according to StockTitan.

Profit growth outpaced revenue

News Corp's fiscal 2026 net income from continuing operations increased 15 percent to USD 743 million from USD 648 million a year earlier, while Total Segment EBITDA rose 15 percent to USD 1.63 billion from USD 1.42 billion, the company filing reported through StockTitan.

Cash conversion was the sharper change. Free cash flow climbed 42 percent to USD 811 million, operating cash flow rose 26 percent to USD 1.24 billion, and stock repurchases reached USD 643 million in fiscal 2026.

Analysts see further upside

The consensus remains constructive but rests on a higher valuation hurdle. MarketBeat lists a Moderate Buy rating from six analysts, with five Buy ratings, one Hold rating and an average price target of USD 38.50. The target lies 34.7 percent above the USD 28.55 price.

That estimate sits above News Corp's recent trading band. The stock's 52-week range was USD 22.20 to USD 31.66 on October 6, 2026, putting the latest price USD 3.11 below the yearly high. The comparison matters because the shares remain below their peak even as profit and cash flow expanded.

Annual meeting sets next date

News Corp's annual meeting is scheduled for November 5, 2026, according to StockTitan. Holders will vote on six director nominees, auditor ratification and executive compensation matters.

News Corp stock remains below its high

With a market capitalization of USD 16.0 billion and trading volume of 3,525,976 shares on October 6, 2026, News Corp stock combines a lower session price with stronger annual operating figures. The key investor question is whether the 15 percent earnings growth can continue to narrow the gap between current value and the USD 38.50 consensus target.
