Benjamin Swinburne has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors influencing Fox’s stock performance. The company’s strategic focus on leveraging its sports and news brands, along with investments in streaming through Tubi and sports betting, has shown positive results, leading to a significant increase in equity value over the past year. The market’s confidence in Fox’s ability to sustain or grow its free cash flow despite industry challenges has resulted in multiple expansion, further supporting the stock’s current price.
However, Swinburne expresses caution regarding the ongoing headwinds faced by traditional TV, which remain a concern for Fox’s overall growth trajectory. While Fox’s networks display relative strength and the company’s capital allocation history is commendable, the stock’s current valuation appears to be fairly priced, offering limited immediate upside. As such, the Hold rating reflects a balanced view of the potential risks and rewards associated with Fox’s current strategic path and market position.
In another report released today, Barclays also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $50.00 price target.
