The recent surge of reportage exposes several issues surrounding
News Corporation Class A (NWSA). One major focus is the pressure from significant shareholders, like
Starboard Value and
Irenic Capital, supported by all top proxy firms, seeking to dissolve the dual-class voting structure in place. This potentially controversial change is said to destabilize Rupert Murdoch's strong hold on the company. Simultaneously, NWSA posts stronger Q1 results for Fiscal 2025, contributing to the company's significant outperformance in trading compared to its competitors. Also significant is the unexpectedly departure of longtime CFO,
Susan Panuccio, with
Lavanya Chandrashekar set to take over in 2025. Additionally, NWSA continues its impressive stock buyback program and is making strides in expanding investment prospects, such as in Ripjar. Nevertheless, a failed acquisition attempt of Rightmove by NWSA's subsidiary, REA Group, and the stepping down of media titan
Rupert Murdoch signaled significant shifts.
