News Corporation operates through a digital and media portfolio that includes Dow Jones for professional information, journalism, subscriptions, and advertising; digital real estate services through REA and realtor.com; book publishing through HarperCollins; and News Media. Revenue comes from digital subscriptions, risk and compliance and energy products, platform advertising, real estate contracts and services, digital, print, and audiobook sales, and the licensing of content and intellectual property to artificial intelligence platforms such as OpenAI and Meta.
In fiscal 2026 quarter 4, revenue reached $2.3 billion and net income was $179 million. For fiscal 2026, the company reported revenue of $9.0 billion, net income of $573 million, and earnings per share of $1.03. Fiscal 2026 quarter 3 generated revenue of $2.2 billion, up 9% year over year, and net income of $89 million, while adjusted segment EBITDA increased 18% to $343 million and its margin expanded from 14.4% to 15.7%.
The business mix in fiscal 2026 quarter 3 was led by Dow Jones, with revenue of $619 million and adjusted segment EBITDA of $147 million; Digital Real Estate Services, with revenue of $473 million and earnings of $155 million; and HarperCollins, with revenue of $555 million and earnings of $73 million. News Media reported revenue of $538 million but generated segment earnings of only $15 million, illustrating that the center of profitability is shifting toward professional information, digital real estate, and publishing rather than traditional media.
The analyst consensus rating of “Buy” supports the positive outlook, but the data does not include a consensus price target that can be compared with the 52-week range of $25.49–$35.76. Earnings per share of $1.03 in fiscal 2026 and the improved segment margin must be balanced against range volatility of approximately 40%, weakness in News Media, and realtor.com's sensitivity to mortgage rates.

HarperCollins is testing its use in translation and audiobook production, but management did not specify the revenue value of the partnerships or the amount of annual savings.
realt.com revenue increased 10% to $148 million in fiscal 2026 quarter 3, despite 30-year mortgage rates remaining above 6%. The business benefited from a 6% increase in lead volume and improvements in yield and contract values, while new homes, rentals, and seller activities accounted for 22% of revenue. The platform's average share of real estate portal visits reached 31%, but it remains exposed to a delayed recovery if mortgage rates rise.

realtor.com has clear sensitivity to mortgage rates after existing-home sales totaled 3.98 million units in March 2026, while higher interest rates could delay the market recovery. At News Media, adjusted revenue declined 2% in fiscal 2026 quarter 3, and segment earnings dropped $18 million to $15 million due to weakness at News U.K. and California Post costs. Additional risks include declining print revenue, supply-chain issues, and unauthorized use of content by some artificial intelligence companies.
