NWSANEWS Corporation
This is the year News Corporation has to prove it can still make money in the publishing business — and the next big test is the Q3 2026 earnings release on November 6th, where the stock is expected to anchor around $28.94, with a bull target of $30.39 and a bear fallback of $27.49, leaning 50% toward the bull. If it clears that hurdle, the next test is the Q1 2027 earnings release on May 7th, with the same anchor and targets, and the same lean. Then comes the Q2 2027 earnings release on August 9th, with the same setup. The company is running a race against time to show that it can still deliver consistent results in a sector that’s been struggling for years.
