The News Corporation has been in the limelight for its varying stock performance and significant economic decisions. Despite a flat performance at the start of the year, occasional outperformance against competitors has been noticed. The company announced a $1B Stock Buy-back, simultaneously it has missed some quarterly revenue estimates and Q1 sales targets. Even though there had been a surge in digital subscriptions, it was not enough to offset the weak ad revenue.
Despite these challenges, the stock rose by 29% in the past year giving investors hope. News Corp has ostensibly continued to underperform against competitors on certain days. At the same time, the corporation was seen implementing measures to strengthen its financial standing, such as launching numerous stock buy-back plans and reducing the global workforce by 4%.
A potential game-changer was the report of an activist investor planning to make changes within the management structure, causing a spike in interest. Additionally, the company saw substantial gains in earnings and revenues, supposedly due to subscription growth and significant growth in digital real estate services.
