The main question: the share price moved +11.2% in a year while yearly earnings per share moved −50.2%. The difference came from the market paying a higher multiple. ## What is the News share price today? News Corporation's share price was $29.46 at the close on 3 November 2026. It has been stalling near its high for 19 weeks. That is 9.4% above its average price over the last 200 trading days. Over the past 13 weeks it has done better than the S&P 500, and it has stayed ahead for 15 weeks in a row. In the last 52 weeks it traded between $23 and $31, and at that close it sat 82% of the way up from that low. Over the last 10 years the share price moved +152% while the S&P 500 moved +255%, so it is behind the index over that whole period. The chart above shows the 13-week comparison for every week. This page treats a rise as over when the price closes below its 200-day average on two Fridays in a row. ## What dividend does News pay? News Corporation paid $0.40 per share over the last four reported quarters. The most recent declaration was $0.10 for Jun 2026. At today's price of $29.46 that is a yield of 1.36%, based on dividends already paid, not a forecast. ## Which stock lists is News on? News is on one of our US lists: S&P 500 companies.

## Is News profitable? News Corporation earned $230 M of net profit in the Jun 2026 quarter, −70.4% on the same quarter a year earlier. Full-year FY26 profit was $743 M. Over 5 years profit has grown 13.8% a year on average. That is 9.8% of the quarter's revenue. The same quarter a year earlier earned $776 M. For the full year, FY26 profit was $743 M (−44.9% on the year before). Why profit moved: revenue changed +10.8% on a year earlier and the margin moved +3.4 percentage points. Most of the change came from keeping more of each sale. On average over the last four quarters, profit changed −23.5% and revenue +6.9%. Profit is growing slower than sales: rising costs are taking part of the growth. ## How much revenue does News make, and is it growing? News Corporation reported $2.3 B of revenue in the Jun 2026 quarter, +10.8% on the same quarter a year earlier. That is the 8th quarter in a row with growth on the year before. Over 5 years it has grown −0.7% a year on average. The last full year, FY26, came in at $9.0 B. The last four reported quarters add to $9.0 B. The quarterly figures for FY23 do not add up to the full-year total on file, so those quarters are left out of the charts and sums. FY26 revenue was $9.0 B, +6.8% on the year before. Recent pace: the last four quarters grew +6.9% on average, against −0.7% a year over the longer run, so this year is growing faster than its own long-run rate. Is growth speeding up? Revenue over the last 12 months grew +6.8%, against +4.6% a year over the last 8 quarters (stabilising); profit over the last 12 months grew −44.9%, against +40.6% a year (rolling over). ## How much of every $100 of sales does News keep? News Corporation's operating margin was 12.5% in the Jun 2026 quarter, 3.4 percentage points higher than the same quarter a year ago. Its latest full-year margin is the highest it has ever reported. Across 6 years it has been between 6.5% and 12.8%. The latest quarter is within that range. Why the margin moved: operating margin changed +3.4 percentage points on the year while gross margin changed +1.0 points. So the gain came mostly from costs below the gross margin, such as staff and overheads, measured against sales. When margins are at a record, every ratio built on profit looks better than usual, so watch whether they hold. ## Is News' profit turning into cash? Over the last 3 years, 140% of News Corporation's reported profit came in as cash from its operations, so the profit is backed by cash. In FY26 it brought in $1.2 B of operating cash against $743 M of profit. After $426 M of spending on assets, $805 M was left over as free cash. Cash-flow figures here are yearly, because quarterly cash statements are not published, so this section changes once a year. Why: the cash figure is clear, but the day counts behind it are not in our data, so we show it without guessing the reason. What to look at next: the main use of cash is spending on assets. The next section checks what that spending is building. ## Where does News' cash go? News Corporation does not report the customer, stock and supplier day counts a cash cycle needs, so this section looks at its spending on assets instead. It spent $1.2 B on assets over the last 3 years. Averaged over those years that is 4.4% of FY26 revenue a year. Nothing is estimated in place of the missing day counts, so no cash-cycle chart is drawn. Spending on assets: $1.2 B over the last 3 years. In short: the cash is going into new capacity, not getting stuck in the daily cycle. The question is whether the new capacity earns. ## What is News' P/E ratio, and how does it compare with its own history? News Corporation's P/E is 28.6×, in the middle of its own history: higher than 64% of past readings. Its usual P/E (the middle reading) is 19.1×, over 4.6 years of weekly prices. This compares the share price with the company’s own past. It does not say what the business is worth. Why the multiple is where it is: over the past year earnings per share moved −50.2% while the price moved +11.2%. The price did better than earnings, which pushed the multiple up within its own range. In short: the multiple is about average against its own past, so the earnings trend underneath matters more than the multiple. ## Is the News business getting better or worse? News Corporation's business is giving mixed signals. There is no clear direction across the growth lines, with ROCE rising at 9.0%; each line tells part of the story. This is based on 8 quarters of 3 measures, with some gaps. Why it matters: when the lines disagree, each line above matters more than any single label. One or more growth lines have an extreme jump caused by comparing with a near-zero or loss-making quarter. Those jumps are capped before reading and drawn at the edge of the chart, so one odd quarter does not decide the result. This reading has some gaps: at least one line is short, or the return line is not the quarterly series, so treat it with a little more caution. ## How much does News earn on its capital? News Corporation earned a ROE of 8% in FY26. That is up from a low of 2% in FY23. Its return on capital used (ROIC) is 0.1 percentage points above its cost of capital, so growth here adds value, not just size. It comes from a 8.2% net margin and 0.58× asset turnover (sales divided by assets). Why the return is what it is (FY26): a 8.2% net margin × 0.58× asset turnover × 1.68× leverage (assets divided by equity) ≈ 8.0% on equity. The margin does its share; borrowing is a big part of it. The key test, return on capital used minus the cost of capital: 8.2% − 8.1% = +0.1 percentage points. The 8.1% is an estimate of this company's own cost of capital. Read the sign and size of the gap, not the decimals. Positive but thin: it creates value with little room for error. ## Does News have too much debt? News Corporation has total debt of $2.9 B against shareholder equity of $9.2 B as of Jun 2026, so its debt is 0.32× its equity. Year by year, that ratio went from 0.37 in FY21 to 0.32 in FY26. Keep that borrowing in mind when reading the returns on this page. ## What is the News shareholding pattern? 2.3% of News Corporation's tradable shares are in short positions, which are bets that the price will fall, so some traders are betting against it. At normal trading volumes, closing those positions would take about 2.6 days. US companies do not publish a quarter-by-quarter list of owners, so this page uses short interest instead. It is a single reading at one point in time; we do not have its history. Why it is at this level: the figure does not say who holds the short positions or why, so we show the level without guessing the story. ## How far is News from balance-sheet trouble? For News Corporation, the Z-score is 2.41. A Z-score above about 3 is safe and below about 1.8 signals danger, so this is in the grey area between the two. It estimates how far the balance sheet is from trouble; it is not a forecast of failure. Why it matters: a Z-score of 2.41 is in the grey area, neither clearly safe nor clearly in trouble. ## How does News rank in its industry? There is no score against its industry: News Corporation is not among the largest members shown in this industry comparison for Entertainment. The score ranks a company within its industry: each measure is scored against the other members. Without that group there is no score, so none is shown. ## Which companies is News compared with?
