News Corp (US65249B2088) stock rose after Q4 FY26 revenue reached USD 2.34 billion and adjusted EPS came in at USD 0.35, according to the latest figures reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The shares last closed at USD 30.97 on August 28, 2026, after trading between USD 22.20 and USD 31.66 over the past 52 weeks.
Q4 FY26 sets the pace
Revenue of USD 2.34 billion was up 10.8 percent from a year earlier, while the quarter marked a swing from USD 0.05 EPS in the prior-year period to USD 0.35 adjusted EPS. Market cap stood at USD 16.636 billion intraday, with volume at 5,268,015 shares and the stock down 0.71 percent at the close on August 28, 2026.
That mix matters because the stock is trading close to its 52-week high of USD 31.66, leaving less room for disappointment after a strong quarter.
Analysts stay constructive
Yahoo Finance showed a consensus price target of USD 36.16 and a latest JP Morgan call on August 21, 2026 that kept an Overweight view while lifting the target from USD 36 to USD 38. The same page showed trailing EPS of USD 1.02 and a trailing P/E of 30.36, which keeps valuation in the spotlight.
The company also reported Q4 FY26 earnings of USD 179 million and a profit margin of 7.66 percent, numbers that underline the operating leverage in a quarter where revenue grew faster than profit.
Quarterly figures and share data
The latest quarter combined higher revenue, stronger EPS and a stock price that stayed near its yearly peak.
Digital real estate matters
News Corp's overview shows five segments, with Digital Real Estate Services, Dow Jones, Book Publishing, News Media and Other still shaping the group mix. The market is paying closest attention to digital real estate and Dow Jones because they are the most scalable profit pools in the portfolio.
Stock near the high
News Corp shares finished at USD 30.97 on August 28, 2026, after an intraday market cap reading of USD 16.636 billion and a 52-week range of USD 22.20 to USD 31.66. The stock therefore sits close to the top of its annual band, and the recent quarter gives that position a clearer fundamental base.
