UBS	07/02/2025	1	Buy	$64.50	32.04%	UBS raises its target for News Corp to $68 from $64.50 following EPS upgrades and a lower net debt forecast following 1H results. The Buy rating is unchanged. FNArena's summary of yesterday's research by UBS follows. UBS' first take on News Corp's 1H25 earnings report suggests the headline result was better than consensus, although the analyst stresses the market's expectations were "messy." Excluding Foxtel, earnings lifted 11% above consensus forecasts, with a better result from book publishing, digital real estate, and news media, the broker observes. The divestment of Foxtel led to a reduction in net debt to US$215m from US$1.1bn. FORECAST UBS forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 38.31 cents and EPS of 144.06 cents. UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 38.31 cents and EPS of 168.58 cents.

Cost discipline and the inclusion of Sky News bolstered returns at News Media, while revenues from Move increased for the first time in ten quarters, driven by an acceleration in adjacencies, explain the analysts. The broker expects Dow Jones earnings (EBITDA) growth to accelerate in the second half, supported by stronger circulation and subscription trends.
