News Corp stock is backed by a business that has been shifting toward digital subscriptions, data, and real estate services, with the latest annual figures highlighting growing contributions from Dow Jones and ongoing capital returns to shareholders.
Dow Jones revenue tops two billion dollars
According to News Corp's fiscal 2024 reporting, the Dow Jones segment generated revenue of about $2.56 billion in the year to 30 June 2024, up from approximately $2.42 billion in fiscal 2023, an increase of roughly $140 million that underscores the expansion of its professional information and subscription base.
Within that figure, professional information business revenue, which includes Risk & Compliance, OPIS, and other data products, continued to rise on the back of both price increases and new customer wins over the period, reinforcing management's focus on higher-margin, recurring revenue streams.
Adjusted EBITDA improves year on year
For the same fiscal 2024 period, News Corp reported total company adjusted EBITDA of around $1.60 billion compared with approximately $1.42 billion in fiscal 2023, an increase of about $180 million that reflects cost discipline and better profitability in key segments such as Dow Jones and Book Publishing.
The company also highlighted that adjusted EBITDA margin improved relative to the prior year, supported by lower costs in News Media and more efficient operations, indicating that the portfolio shift toward digital and information services is beginning to translate into stronger earnings quality.
