Outperform

$49.00

-0.73%

News Corp reported better than consensus 4Q24 earnings and in line with Macquarie's forecasts, with strong results from books and real estate.

Management served up a "cautious" outlook for FY25, the broker notes, including a buyer's interest in Foxtel and the content sharing with OpenAI, valued at US$50m per annum for five years.

Macquarie tweaks EPS estimates by -3% for FY25 and -7% for FY26 based on higher operating expenses for Dow Jones.

The target price is revised to $49 from $46 and Outperform rating retained.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 30.16 cents and EPS of 120.63 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 48.40 cents and EPS of 150.78 cents.

Initiation of coverage with Overweight

$45.80

-7.21%

Jarden initiates coverage on News Corp with an Overweight rating and target price at $45.80, seeing it as a preferred play to REA Group ((REA)) given a lower standalone valuation. 

The REA Group stake represents 66-73% of News Corp's  market value, though Jarden estimates the market under-appreciates News Corp's Dow Jones and Book Publishing assets, which show resilient growth potential.

The analyst believes Dow Jones is a "hidden gem" for the company with an increasing weighting towards business-to-business customers.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 30.16 cents and EPS of 118.06 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 30.16 cents and EPS of 139.78 cents.
