Fox Corporation Class A Common Stock (FOXA) represents a leading force in the media industry, delivering a wide range of news, sports, and entertainment content.

Fox Corporation's core brands include Fox News, Fox Sports, the Fox Network, and Fox Television Stations. These brands are not only culturally significant but also hold substantial value for distributors and advertisers. The company's extensive reach allows it to create content that captivates and informs audiences, fostering strong consumer relationships and offering compelling products.
In recent years, Fox sold a majority of its entertainment assets to Disney, pivoting its focus towards live news and sports. This strategic move emphasized the company’s strength in these areas, which remain integral to its operations primarily through pay-TV bundles.
Financially, Fox Corporation reported total quarterly revenues of $3.45 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This is a decrease from the $4.08 billion reported in the prior year. The Television segment saw a 9% growth in affiliate fee revenues, contributing to the overall 4% increase in this category. Advertising revenues were impacted by the absence of Super Bowl LVII and fewer NFL games, totaling $1.24 billion compared to $1.88 billion in the previous year. Other revenues also declined due to timing issues related to sports sublicensing.
Net income for the quarter was $704 million, significantly up from a net loss of $50 million in the prior year. This improvement reflects the absence of legal settlement costs and gains from asset contributions to the United Football League joint venture. Adjusted EBITDA also saw an increase of 7%, reaching $891 million.
Fox Corporation continues to invest in and capitalize on its core strengths, while also exploring new initiatives. The company actively engages with its audience through its owned and operated television stations and streaming service, Tubi. The Murdoch family maintains control of the corporation, steering its strategic direction.
