Downgrade to Neutral from Outperform

$57.80

28.47%

News Corp announced 4Q25 earnings (EBITDA) of US$322m, a rise of 5% on a year earlier and 4% above consensus forecast, according to Macquarie, due to a beat for Dow Jones and Digital Real Estate Services. Book Publishing and News Media came in lower than expected.

For FY25, earnings (EBITDA) grew 14% on FY24, which was broadly in line. Management announced a US$1.3bn buyback acceleration to capitalise on the view that News Corp's businesses are undervalued.

Macquarie lowers its EPS estimates by -2% for FY26 and -3% for FY27, with a downgrade in the rating to Neutral from Outperform due to the spot valuation for REA Group ((REA)), which is at the highest level since early 2018, excluding covid.

Target price is set at $57.80.

FORECAST
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 31.14 cents and EPS of 161.16 cents.
Macquarie forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 31.14 cents and EPS of 189.19 cents.

Overweight

$53.00

17.80%

Jarden forecasts 1Q26 group revenue growth of 1% y/y to US$2,117m and earnings  (EBITDA) of US$321m, down -1.2% y/y and -3% versus consensus as a preview to News Corp's upcoming quarterly result.

Adjusted net profit after tax is expected at US$98m, down -16.5% y/y and around -10.6% below consensus, mainly due to minority interests.

Professional Information Services is expected to remain strong with revenue up 9% y/y, while Book Publishing is expected to fall -26% y/y.

Forecasts were adjusted with FY26 EPS up 1% and FY27 down -0.1%, and the target price cut to $53 from $54.70 following a lower valuation for REA Group ((REA)).

Target price slips to $53 from $54.75. Overweight.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 31.14 cents and EPS of 149.49 cents.
Jarden forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 31.14 cents and EPS of 169.73 cents.
