Wedbush initiated coverage on 21st Century Fox (NASDAQ: FOXA) with an Outperform rating and a price target of $31.00.

"Our rating for the new FOXA shares is OUTPERFORM, consistent with the OUTPERFORM rating that we carried on old NWSA shares since initiating coverage on July 1, 2010," said analyst James Dix.

"We believe FOXA shares are an attractive play on: 1) the increasing mix of FOXA's operating income from subscriptions and other recurring fees, 2) a ramp in monetization of broadcast TV content through retransmission and reverse compensation revenue, and content licenses to international and SVOD platforms; 3) Fox's option on upside from exploitation of the company’s treasure trove of brands, such as Avatar and The Simpsons; and 4) substantial financial flexibility," he added.
