$61.00

11.01%

Goldman Sachs raises its target for Buy-rated News Corp by 11% to $61 following a very strong second quarter, with all segments reporting results in line or ahead of forecasts.

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.

FORECAST
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY25 EPS of 149.16 cents.
Goldman Sachs forecasts a full year FY26 EPS of 169.92 cents.
