Buy

$70.00

44.90%

UBS retains a Buy rating on News Corp and raises the target price to $70.00 from $68.00 following a "strong" third quarter result. 

Earnings, ex-Foxtel, rose by 12% year-on-year to US$290m, beating consensus by around 8%, driven particularly by Dow Jones and News Media segments, explain the analysts.

Dow Jones delivered 12% EBITDA growth and 130bps of margin expansion, supported by continued mix shift toward higher-margin business units like Risk & Compliance and Energy, highlights the broker.

Free cash flow (ex-Foxtel) rose by 11%, moving News Corp into a net cash position of US$130m, which UBS believes enhances scope for EPS-accretive M&A or buybacks.

UBS forecasts FY25 EBITDA of US$1.4bn, up by 14%, and lifts FY25–27 EPS forecasts by 1%. A three-year EPS CAGR of 23% is projected, underpinned by growth at Dow Jones, REA Group, and benefits from debt reduction.

The broker suggests the valuation remains compelling, highlighting an ongoing sum-of-the-parts valuation gap. The earnings trajectory alone is considered supportive of upside.

FORECAST
UBS forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 38.55 cents and EPS of 148.03 cents.
UBS forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 38.55 cents and EPS of 171.16 cents.

The broker estimates the market currently values the company ex-REA Group at $17.21-20.66/share, whereas its own valuation is $24.60/share.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY25 dividend of 30.84 cents and EPS of 136.93 cents.
