Analysis
News Corporation (NWSA) currently trades at $28.94, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $22.33, implying the stock looks roughly 22.8% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 71/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, News Corporation generated revenue of $8.8B at a net margin of 12.9%. Revenue grew 8.8% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 6.5%. Net debt stands at $537M. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $16.04 (bear case) to $36.30 (bull case); at $28.94, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 8% below its 52-week high and 31% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at -43% fair-value upside, at -23%, NWSA screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 24 models by family
