New York-based Fox Corporation (FOX) operates as a news, sports, and entertainment company in the United States. With a market cap of $22.8 billion, the company operates through Cable Network Programming, Television, Credible, and The FOX Studio Lot segments.
Companies worth $10 billion or more are generally described as "large-cap stocks." FOX fits right into that category, with its market cap exceeding the threshold, reflecting its substantial size and influence in the competitive industry of entertainment. FOX benefits from being one of the largest cable TV networks in the United States, offering a wide range of content.
FOX currently trades 7.8% below its all-time high of $55 recorded on Mar. 3. FOX's stock has gained 2.7% over the past three months, notably underperforming the Nasdaq Composite’s ($NASX) 9.9% uptick during the same time frame.
In the long term, FOX stock has surged 10.9% on a YTD basis, outperforming the Nasdaq’s marginal increase. Moreover, shares of FOX soared 59% over the past 52 weeks, also outperforming Nasdaq’s 9.7% returns over the same period.
To confirm its bullish trend, FOX has been trading above its 200-day moving average for the past year and also above its 50-day moving average since mid-May.
FOX shares rose 4.3% following the release of its better-than-expected Q3 earnings on May 12. The company’s total revenues increased 26.8% year-over-year to $4.4 billion, mainly driven by a robust growth in the revenue of its affiliate fee, advertising, and other components, and also surpassed the Street’s estimates. Its adjusted EBITDA, however, decreased 3.9% to $856 million, caused by an increase in expenses due to higher sports programming rights amortization and production costs driven by the broadcast of Super Bowl LIX and higher digital content and marketing costs. FOX’s adjusted earnings increased marginally year-over-year to $1.09 and surpassed the consensus estimates by 14.6%.
Its rival, News Corporation (NWSA), has gained 2.9% in 2025 and 5.4% over the past year, underperforming FOX.
Among the 13 analysts covering the FOX stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” Its mean price target of $54.92 suggests an 8.2% upside potential from current price levels.
