News Corp Reports Q4 Revenue of $2.34 Billion

Reports Q4 revenue $2.34B, consensus $2.25B. Commenting on the results, Chief Executive Robert Thomson said: "We concluded Fiscal 2026 with an exceptional fourth quarter performance, including an 11% increase in revenues to $2.34 billion and the highest profitability on record. Fourth quarter net income from continuing operations soared 167% to $230 million, while our earnings per share were $0.33, up from $0.09 in the prior year, and our adjusted EPS were $0.35, compared to $0.19 last year. Our core growth engines-Digital Real Estate Services, Dow Jones and Book Publishing-fueled a 31% surge in fourth quarter Total Segment EBITDA to $423 million. On a full year basis, News Corp reported another year of record revenue and profitability on a continuing operations basis, with growth accelerating to 7% and 15%, respectively, while operating cash flow grew 26% to $1.24 billion. As a result, free cash flow increased significantly, rising 42% to $811 million. Our enhanced cash position enabled us to aggressively return capital to shareholders, with the buyback accelerating to well over four times the prior year's rate at $643 million. Our record performance is a product of sustained focus on, and reinvestment in, News Corp's core growth engines and our transformation to a digital-first company underpinned by insightful and trusted content. Much of the world is being reshaped by artificial intelligence, but artificial intelligence itself is only as useful and only as trustworthy as the quality of its inputs. We believe that makes News Corp an absolutely critical participant in the emerging AI ecosystem. Without our journalists, our authors, our data, our brands and our professional expertise, users would be drowning in a slimy sea of AI slop. We have trusted content relationships with OpenAI and Meta, and are in advanced discussions with several other companies. However, under our woo and sue approach, we are taking aggressive action against those who pilfer and profit from our work. We will pursue those pilferers, and companies that are clients of these crass kleptomaniacs should know they are patently in possession of stolen goods."
