Overweight

Morgan Stanley views News Corp’s FY25 result as supportive of its positive thesis, with a move to a net cash position of US$420m post the Foxtel exit enhancing financial flexibility.

The broker believes earnings growth is now anchored in REA Group ((REA)) and Dow Jones.

Earnings (EBITDA) are forecast to grow at a 10% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and EPS at 20% CAGR from FY24-27, as lower capex and reduced debt strengthen free cash flow, explain the analysts.

The broker estimates a US$1.3bn buyback would lift FY26 EPS by 2-5%, while noting potential for even greater returns through EPS-accretive M&A, citing strong execution in prior tuck-in deals.

Morgan Stanley raises its target price to US$38.00 from US$37.00 and maintains an Overweight rating. Industry View: Attractive.

FORECAST
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 30.95 cents and EPS of 157.82 cents.
Morgan Stanley forecasts a full year FY27 dividend of 30.95 cents and EPS of 194.96 cents.

Jarden retains an Overweight rating. Target price rises to $54.70 from $54.60.

FORECAST
Jarden forecasts a full year FY26 dividend of 30.95 cents and EPS of 146.37 cents.
