Fox Corp stock price target maintained by Goldman Sachs on strong ad growth

Investing.com - Goldman Sachs has reiterated its Buy rating and $72.00 price target on Fox Corp . (NASDAQ:FOXA) following the company’s fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings report. According to InvestingPro data, Fox Corp. is currently trading near its 52-week high of $58.74, with an impressive 58.51% return over the past year.

The media company exceeded EBITDA expectations due to better-than-expected advertising performance, with Cable segment advertising growing 15% year-over-year and Television segment advertising increasing 3% year-over-year.

Despite difficult sports comparisons, Fox News ratings and scatter pricing—which was 54% above Upfront levels in News—along with Tubi’s 32% year-over-year growth, drove continued expansion for the company.

Fox Corp provided guidance indicating worse-than-expected digital investments for fiscal 2026, primarily related to marketing costs for its new streaming service, FOX One, launching August 21, and growth investments in Latin America following its Caliente TV acquisition in Mexico.

Goldman Sachs remains positive on Fox Corp, suggesting the conservative guidance likely reflects modest subscriber expectations for FOX One, while underlying growth should continue to be strong as the company benefits from Tubi strength and its sports portfolio.

In other recent news, Fox Corporation reported impressive fourth-quarter earnings for 2025, significantly surpassing analysts’ expectations. The company achieved an earnings per share (EPS) of $1.27, well above the projected $0.98, representing a 29.5% beat. Revenue also exceeded forecasts, reaching $3.29 billion compared to the anticipated $3.12 billion, marking a positive surprise of 5.45%. In addition to these strong financial results, CFRA has upgraded Fox’s stock rating from Hold to Buy, raising its price target to $60.00 from $59.00. This decision was influenced by the strength of Fox’s broadcast and cable networks, as well as the growth of its Tubi streaming service. CFRA also noted the strategic launch of Fox’s new bundled plan, Fox One, which aims to attract younger, streaming-only households. These recent developments highlight Fox’s continued momentum in the media landscape.
