Jessica Reif Ehrlich has given her Buy rating due to a combination of factors that underscore Fox’s strong financial performance and strategic positioning. Fox’s second fiscal quarter results exceeded expectations, with total company revenue and operating income before depreciation and amortization (OIBDA) significantly outperforming estimates. Key contributors to this success include notable growth in cable and television revenues and improved OIBDA margins. The adjusted earnings per share also surpassed forecasts, indicating robust financial health.
In addition to the impressive quarterly results, Fox’s strategic initiatives also support the Buy rating. The performance of Tubi, a streaming service within Fox’s portfolio, was particularly strong, showing substantial year-over-year growth. Fox’s plan to launch an over-the-top (OTT) service further enhances its digital presence, providing opportunities to reach audiences outside of traditional linear platforms. The company’s ability to secure distribution deals for Fox News within new skinny bundles, particularly those focused on sports content, positions it well against industry challenges. As a result, the analyst has raised future financial estimates and increased the price objective for Fox’s stock, reflecting confidence in the company’s ongoing momentum.
