News Corporation (NWSA) has seen significant activity recently. The stock persistently outperformed competitors on several trading days, indicating strong investor confidence. Multiple large firms such as the National Bank of Canada FI, USA Financial Formulas, BNP Paribas Financial Markets, and Charles Schwab Investment Management have conducted substantial share transactions. However, there have also been sell-offs, such as from Thompson Siegel & Walmsley LLC and the Swiss National Bank. NWSA's earnings have generally exceeded expectations and the firm continues with its $1 billion stock repurchase program. An activist investor is reportedly looking to implement changes, encouraging stock price jumps. Despite this, there was an unexpected miss on Q1 sales targets. Potentially significant changes are in the offing, with Rupert Murdoch stepping down as chairman and suggestions of spinning off real estate assets from News Corp. The Starboard Value hedge fund has increased its shares in News Corp, signalling trust in its potential. NWSA proves a compelling entry point for new investors. However, discussions regarding exploring 'value-maximizing alternatives' underscore ongoing scrutiny of company strategies.
