Overweight

$47.70

20.00%

Jarden maintains an Overweight rating for News Corp and increases the target price to $47.70 following a "solid" third quarter result.

Earnings per share forecasts for FY26 and FY27 have been revised upwards by 2.2% and 2.5% respectively as EBITDA grew 18% to US$1,842m.

Strong momentum in Professional Information Services and a beat in Book Publishing offset a -55% fall in News Media EBITDA caused by launch costs for the California Post, the broker notes.

Jarden comments future upside risk exists from unpriced AI content licensing deals with OpenAI and Meta while uncertainty regarding Australian residential listing volumes presents a potential downside risk.

Adjusted net profit of US$118m was 6% ahead of estimates with dividends maintained at US$0.20 across the forecast period.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 29.48 cents and EPS of 156.54 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 29.48 cents and EPS of 187.06 cents.
