News Corp solidifies its position in the AI sector by striking a multi-year agreement with OpenAI to use its news content. Despite missing Q1 sales targets, News Corp's stock remains relatively stable, outshining the market on many trading days. An investment from Janney Montgomery Scott LLC amounting to $1.26 million reinforces the company's position. Further bolstering is Norges Bank's hefty investment of $139.96 million.
An activist investor has built a stake in the company and is advocating for change, potentially influencing the future trajectory of News Corp. The company's fiscal Q3 2024 earnings call transcript provided insight into the corporation's current financial status, as News Corp exceeded earnings estimates but reported a drop in revenues year/year.
Part of the financial strategy includes a $1 billion stock buyback program, ensuring shareholder reward and leverages the company's strong cash position. Moreover, investors who put their faith in News Corp five years ago have seen a 119% return on their investment. Future prospects look promising, with talks of spinning off real estate assets set into motion. Despite a slowdown in advertising resulting in a decline in revenues, News Corp remains resilient.
