News Corporation, a global media and information services company, operates across various segments including news, digital real estate, and book publishing, with a strong presence in the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
In its first quarter of fiscal 2026, News Corporation reported a 2% increase in revenues to $2.14 billion, driven by growth in its Dow Jones and Digital Real Estate Services segments. The company also saw a slight increase in net income from continuing operations, reaching $150 million.
Key financial highlights include a 5% rise in Total Segment EBITDA to $340 million, with Dow Jones and Digital Real Estate Services showing significant growth. Dow Jones revenue increased by 6%, supported by a 16% rise in professional information business revenue, while Digital Real Estate Services saw a 5% revenue increase. However, the Book Publishing segment faced challenges, with a 28% decline in EBITDA due to a $13 million receivable write-off.
Despite some setbacks in the Book Publishing segment, News Corporation’s strategic focus on digital and AI-related revenues, along with cost-saving initiatives in News Media, contributed to improved profitability. The company accelerated its share repurchase program, indicating confidence in its undervalued stock.
Looking ahead, News Corporation remains optimistic about generating strong free cash flow and maximizing shareholder value through strategic partnerships and continued focus on digital growth and content monetization.
