Deutsche Bank made positive comments on Buy-rated News Corp. (NASDAQ: NWSA) on the pending split-up.

The firm comments, "We see 22% upside to our $26 target driven by (1) the fastest growth prospects among the majors; (2) mgmt cleaning-up minorities and aggressively returning capital; (3) it is the cheapest entertainment stock; and (4) stock repurchases are disproportionately accretive (using excess cash rather than raising debt and its stock is cheaper). A spin-off of Publishing, which mgmt indicated they are considering, would also be a meaningful positive, in our view."
