Por que pode funcionar
Accelerating digital profitability as Tubi maintains >30% top-line growth and eliminates digital investment losses (<$200M in FY2026), combined with record midterm political advertising and continued $2.0B annual share repurchases that compound diluted EPS toward consensus highs.
We assign a Buy rating to Fox Corporation Class A, reflecting a 32.3% implied return to our Fair value of USD 83.77 as live sports rights, election-cycle political advertising, and rapid Tubi streaming monetization generate strong free cash flow to fund aggressive share repurchases.
Our Buy rating indicates that Fox Corporation Class A offers an attractive risk-adjusted entry point for long-term equity investors seeking cash-generative compounding. For an ordinary investor, this recommendation signifies that the company's underlying earnings power and balance sheet capital returns are substantially undervalued relative to the cash flows produced by its core broadcast television, news, and digital streaming franchises.
The stock was priced at USD 63.33 on October 5, 2026. At this price, the shares trade at an implied return of 32.3% to our Fair value of USD 83.77, representing a 24.4% price discount. Under our constructive expansion path, Fox's reaches USD 137.46, offering substantial multi-year upside should digital streaming profitability and advertising pricing exceed expectations.
The primary risk to our investment thesis is an acceleration in secular pay-television cord-cutting beyond contractual affiliate price increases. Cable Network Programming generated $7,348M in revenue in fiscal 2026 and supports consolidated operating income of $3,345M. If annual subscriber attrition accelerates beyond 8%, affiliate revenue erosion would outpace contractual rate escalators, compressing cable operating margins below 20% and reducing consolidated free cash flow available for share repurchases.4,8
The central driver of equity outperformance is Fox's disciplined, cash-generative operating model anchored by live event sports and unscripted news. The Television segment delivered $9,666M in fiscal 2026 revenue, supported by NFL rights secured through 2029 and anticipated record midterm political advertising. Concurrently, Tubi grew revenue by 35% while net digital investment losses narrowed below $200M. Because capital expenditures require only $502M, the business generated $1,468M in free cash flow, enabling $2,000M in annual share repurchases that retire 3% to 4% of shares outstanding annually and compound per-share intrinsic value toward our USD 83.77 Fair value.5,6,7,8
Locked NFL broadcasting agreements through 2029 and Fox News brand loyalty provide must-have carriage, defending Television ($9,666M in FY2026) and Cable ($7,348M in FY2026) revenues against linear fragmentation.5,8
Capital-Light Model Funding Aggressive Share Repurchases
With modest capex of $502M (2.93% of revenue), Fox converted $1,970M operating cash flow into $1,468M free cash flow, enabling $2,000M in annual share repurchases that retire 3% to 4% of shares annually to compound EPS.6,7
Digital Inflection at Tubi with Narrowing Losses
Tubi delivered 35% revenue growth in FY2026 while net digital investment losses fell below $200M, establishing an AVOD growth engine that monetizes cord-cutters without multi-billion-dollar SVOD deficit spending.5
Recomendação da casa
We rate Fox Corporation Class A a Buy because its dominant live sports and news franchises generate robust, asset-light free cash flow that consistently funds share repurchases to drive double-digit earnings per share compounding.
Visão geral da empresa
Fox Corporation is a news, sports, and entertainment company operating primarily through two core business segments: Television and Cable Network Programming. In fiscal 2026, the Television segment generated $9,666M in revenue, comprising the FOX broadcast network, 29 owned-and-operated local television stations, and Tubi, a leading free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) platform. Cable Network Programming generated $7,348M in revenue, encompassing news and sports cable channels including Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, FS1, FS2, and the FOX One direct-to-consumer digital subscription service.
The company serves audiences, multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs), digital platforms, and brand advertisers across the United States. Its revenue model is anchored by contractual affiliate carriage fees paid by traditional and virtual distributors alongside advertising revenue driven by live sports telecasts, marquee unscripted news broadcasts, and digital connected TV ad inventory on Tubi.
§2 Cenário pessimistaEN
Under a combined stress environment where linear cord-cutting accelerates beyond 8% annually, programmatic connected television advertising supply dilutes AVOD CPM pricing, and net leverage from planned corporate transactions reaches 2.8x against total debt of $7,568M in a 5.24% risk-free rate environment, consolidated operating margins compress toward 15-16%. Annual free cash flow would contract, compelling management to scale back annual share repurchases below $1,000M, testing balance sheet flexibility and limiting per-share compounding.
Connected TV programmatic advertising inventory oversupply depresses Tubi monetization and delays digital breakeven.
Higher leverage and debt service costs following transaction execution constrain discretionary capital return and curtail share repurchases.
In the bear case, severe pay-TV subscriber attrition overwhelms contractual pricing escalators, while programmatic ad market dilution and elevated debt service compress operating margins and restrict share buybacks.

Os cinco desenvolvimentos que enfraqueceriam a nossa tese de investimento.
Fox Corporation maintains a Narrow economic moat supported by structural advantages in live sports broadcasting agreements, the indispensable brand franchise of Fox News, and the digital reach platform of Tubi. In broadcast television, Fox holds exclusive telecast agreements for NFL football locked through 2029 with contractual stability confirmed for the next four years before any rights opt-out period. Live event sports consumption, where Fox topped all broadcast networks in fiscal 2026, provides appointment viewing that cannot be replicated by on-demand scripted entertainment, preserving linear mass audience reach and premium advertiser pricing.
The Cable Network Programming segment ($7,348M in FY2026 revenue, 42.91% of consolidated revenue) functions as a high-margin cash generator that anchors consolidated operating income of $3,345M. Fox News commands essential carriage positioning across traditional multichannel video programming distributors and virtual MVPD platforms. Contractual affiliate fee escalation clauses have largely absorbed ongoing mid-single-digit secular subscriber volume declines, sustaining high-margin annuity cash flows and peer-leading cable operating margins of 25.21%.
In digital streaming, Fox has executed a capital-efficient digital transition centered on Tubi (FAST/AVOD) and FOX One, avoiding the multi-billion-dollar direct-to-consumer content deficit spending that has impaired legacy media peers. Tubi achieved 35% revenue growth in FY2026 driven by proactive video-on-demand viewing, while total digital net investment losses contracted from under $300M in FY2025 to under $200M in FY2026. While secular linear pay-TV subscriber cord-cutting prevents a Wide moat rating, locked sports contracts and cash generation justify a 5-year stage II competitive fade duration.

Fox generates durable economic profits, supported by FY2026 operating cash flow of $1,970M and free cash flow of $1,468M on consolidated revenues of $17,126M.

Superou
Upgrade the rating; Evaluate incremental position expansion and monitor whether digital profit inflection provides sustainable operating margin expansion beyond tournament-boosted quarters.
Gatilho: Diluted earnings per share and Television segment revenue exceed consensus expectations driven by record midterm political advertising and Tubi revenue growth accelerating above historical pacing.
An earnings beat driven by outsized political advertising capture and faster digital breakeven accelerates free cash flow generation, increases share repurchase pacing, and expands intrinsic value per share toward Potential value.
Em linha
Maintain Buy; Maintain existing allocation, verifying that share buyback execution continues as planned through pending transaction financing.
Gatilho: Diluted earnings per share and consolidated revenue track consensus expectations with scheduled affiliate rate increases offsetting pay-TV cord-cutting and steady share repurchases.
In-line financial execution affirms the mature compounder thesis, verifying that contractual pricing escalation and ongoing share retirements continue to drive per-share value compounding.
Aquém
Downgrade the rating; Review exposure, pause incremental capital deployment, and reassess debt leverage thresholds and buyback execution.
Gatilho: Diluted earnings per share or Cable Network Programming affiliate revenues contract below consensus as pay-TV subscriber attrition accelerates beyond rate escalators or programmatic ad pricing weakens.
An operational miss stemming from deteriorating cable affiliate fees or digital advertising pricing softness would compress operating margins and constrain capital return capacity.
Consensus earnings expectations for the upcoming fiscal years have held steady following fourth-quarter results, balancing cyclical political advertising momentum against linear pay-TV subscriber attrition and comparison hurdles from non-recurring tournament broadcasts.

Demonstração de resultados — últimos seis períodos
Fox maintains an aggressive, disciplined capital return program, deploying $2,000M into share repurchases in FY2026 alongside $243M in dividend payments and a semiannual dividend increase to $0.29 per share. Share buybacks have reduced diluted shares from 570M in FY2022 to 439M in FY2026. While FY2026 repurchases exceeded annual free cash flow of $1,468M, liquidity is supported by $4,205M in cash reserves, though net is guided to reach 2.8x upon closing the planned Roku transaction against total debt of $7,568M.
Asset-light broadcast operations, disciplined rights renewals, and minimal fixed capital investment allow Fox to generate economic returns substantially above its cost of capital.
ROIC of 14.41% exceeds computed WACC of 7.4102% and moderate cost of equity Ke of 8.2601% by approximately 700 bps, generating durable economic value.
Share repurchases are the primary driver of double-digit EPS expansion.

§10 Setor e cicloEN
Fase do ciclo
Contraction
Industry capex-to-depreciation stands at 0.63 and industry capex-to-revenue is -1.3%, reflecting capital discipline and subdued fixed asset reinvestment across the media broadcasting sector. Fox's own capex of $502M in FY2026 relative to D&A of $410M reinforces this low capital intensity. Capacity and lead-time data are unavailable, so the capital cycle view is demand-led and evidence-limited.7
Ciclo de alta
The broadcast and media bull cycle is powered by biennial political advertising surges, marquee live sports viewership records, contractual retransmission and affiliate fee inflation, and rapid AVOD streaming monetization.
Ciclo de baixa
The media broadcast bear cycle is characterized by accelerating linear pay-TV cord-cutting, subscriber resistance to traditional cable bundle pricing, off-cycle political advertising vacuums, and programmatic connected TV inventory dilution that compresses ad CPMs.
