Frequently asked questions
What is News Corp A's revenue?
News Corp A's trailing twelve-month revenue is $8.80B. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is NWSA?
In its most recent fiscal year, NWSA ran a gross margin of 100.00%, an operating margin of 11.31%, and a net margin of 13.96%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does NWSA generate?
NWSA produced $727.00M in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is NWSA's balance sheet healthy?
NWSA holds $2.40B in cash and equivalents against $1.79B in long-term debt, on $8.77B of shareholder equity. Cash on hand exceeds long-term debt, so the balance sheet adds little financial risk to the thesis.
