▼(-12.40% Downside)
Action:Reiterated
Date:07/01/26
The score is driven primarily by solid financial quality (profitability, strong cash generation, and improving leverage) and a constructive earnings-call outlook that reiterated record-EBITDA expectations and strong capital returns. These positives are tempered by weak technical positioning (price below all key moving averages) and recent TTM softening in revenue and free cash flow, which adds near-term momentum risk despite a reasonable valuation.
Positive Factors
Free cash flow & buybacks
Consistent, substantial free cash flow and aggressive buybacks demonstrate durable cash-generation and shareholder-return capacity. This cash flow underpins investment flexibility, funds digital initiatives and rights costs, and provides a buffer to sustain capital returns through cyclical ad cycles.
Negative Factors
Pro forma leverage jump
Financing the Roku acquisition meaningfully raises leverage, reducing financial flexibility and increasing interest and refinancing risks. If synergies or revenue upside are delayed, higher net leverage could constrain buybacks, ratings-related investments, or strategic responses to advertising downturns.

Fox Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 11, 2026
(Q3-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 11, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call highlighted broad underlying momentum across Fox’s core businesses — record third-quarter EBITDA, double-digit adjusted EPS growth, strong digital performance at Tubi, exceptional FOX News monetization and robust sports ratings — while acknowledging sizable headline advertising and GAAP earnings headwinds driven mainly by the one-time absence of the Super Bowl and some timing/seasonality effects. Management emphasized strong free cash flow, significant share buybacks, a healthy balance sheet and confidence entering the upfront, the FIFA World Cup and the midterm political cycle. Operational challenges noted include the Super Bowl comparables, higher sports rights amortization pressure on margins, and the early-stage nature of Fox One which management is monitoring conservatively.Positive Updates
Strong Top-Line and EBITDA Growth
Total company revenue of $4.0 billion and adjusted EBITDA up 11% to $954 million, marking a record third quarter for Fox.
Negative Updates

Company Guidance
Management reiterated that Fox is positioned to deliver "record EBITDA" for FY2026, pointing to Q3 results of $4.0B revenue and adjusted EBITDA +11% to $954M; they said headline advertising was down 24% only because they lapped Super Bowl LIX (which generated >$800M gross last year) and that, ex‑Super Bowl, ad revenue would have grown double‑digits, distribution revenue rose 3% (Cable distribution +5%) while TV distribution is expected to be about flat for the full year before returning to growth in fiscal '27 (just north of one‑third of distribution income up for renewal in FY27); the FIFA World Cup will be split roughly 50/50 between Q4 and FY27 Q1 and should be EBITDA‑accretive on broadcast (less so on the cable net); digital assets are contributing (Tubi revenue +23%, view time +19%, ~100M MAUs, Q3 roughly breakeven) and Fox One is aiding subscriber retention; cash flow and capital return guidance remain strong (Q3 free cash flow $1.77B; cash ~$3.6B, debt $6.6B; FY‑to‑date buybacks $1.95B, cumulative >$8.5B or ~36% of shares), and net digital investment for the year is expected to be comfortably inside last year’s ~ $290M.Fox Financial Statement Overview
