News Corporation Class A (NASDAQ:NWSA) has been in a somewhat tumultuous situation lately.
Starboard has been lobbying to put an end to the corporation's
dual-class structure, which has seen various investors enhancing their respective stakes; particularly the
British Columbia Investment Management Corp and
DRW Securities LLC. This internal restructuring has had an apparent impact on stock value with signs of strain showing on Rupert Murdoch's control of the company. Despite this, the company continues to insist on pursuing its
$1 Billion Stock Repurchase Program. As a result of a
multi-year deal with OpenAI, there was a noticeable increase in the stock's value. Encouragingly, fiscal report for the fourth quarter of 2024 saw positive results. Potential acquisitions are also on the horizon, with a subsidiary of NWSA eyeing a deal with
Rightmove. Recently, there have been several calls to an end to the Murdoch era and his reign as a news media mogul. The uncertainty surrounding these potential changes suggest an era of evolution for News Corp.
