Valued at a market cap of $24.6 billion, Fox Corporation (FOXA) is a news, sports, and entertainment company, headquartered in New York. It owns well-known brands such as Fox News, Fox Sports, the Fox broadcast network, and Tubi, its growing free streaming platform.
Companies valued at $10 billion or more are typically classified as “large-cap stocks,” and FOXA fits the label perfectly, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, underscoring its size, influence, and dominance within the entertainment industry. The company benefits from delivering real-time, appointment-viewing content that retains high value for advertisers and distributors. Its growing digital platform, Tubi, expands its reach into the ad-supported streaming market, allowing Fox to tap into shifting consumer habits without sacrificing its core live programming strength.
This communication services company has slipped 6.9% from its 52-week high of $58.74, reached on Mar. 3. Shares of FOXA have gained 4.5% over the past three months, underperforming the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 5.4% return during the same time frame.
Nonetheless, in the longer term, FOXA has rallied 63% over the past 52 weeks, significantly outpacing SPX’s 9% rise over the same time frame. Moreover, on a YTD basis, shares of FOXA are up 12.6%, compared to SPX’s 1.7% uptick.
To confirm its bullish trend, FOXA has been trading above its 200-day and 50-day moving averages over the past year, with slight fluctuations.
On May 12, shares of FOXA closed up 4.3% following its better-than-expected Q3 earnings release. The company’s revenue came in at $4.4 billion, up 26.8% from the year-ago quarter and 5.3% above Wall Street estimates. Solid growth in advertising revenue, driven by the impact of Super Bowl LIX, continued digital growth led by the Tubi AVOD service, and stronger news ratings and pricing, largely supported its robust top-line rise. Moreover, its adjusted EPS of $1.10 improved marginally year-over-year and topped the consensus estimate by a notable margin of 18.3%. However, its adjusted EBITDA fell 3.9% from the same quarter last year to $856 million as its revenue growth was more than offset by higher expenses.
