Bad News Already Priced Into News Corp (NWSA) Stock - Analyst
Yesterday News Corp. (NASDAQ: NWSA) reported earnings that fell short of expectations. Management gave three reasons for the shortfall – weak ratings at Fox, subscriber losses at Sky Italia, and a challenging macro environment in Australia.
"Taking it all in, it sounded like a lot to swallow," said Nomura analyst Michael Nathanson. "However, upon further review of our estimates, aside from a material decrease at Sky Italia, we believe that we had already incorporated most of the Television and Publishing weakness."
Nathanson said he valued Fox Group at $29. He values New News Corp at $2 per share, for a combined price target of $31. This is an increase from his previous price target of $29 per share.
Nomura Securities has a Buy rating on News Corp.
