Despite reporting better-than-expected Q2 2026 adjusted EPS of $0.82 and revenue of $5.18 billion, shares of Fox Corporation fell 3.8% on Feb. 4. Adjusted EBITDA declined to $692 million, net income dropped to $229 million ($0.52 per share), and free cash flow swung to a $791 million deficit due to seasonal sports rights payments.

For the fiscal year ending in June 2026, analysts expect FOX’s adjusted EPS to decline 2.5% year-over-year to $4.66. However, the company’s earnings surprise history is promising. It beat the consensus estimates in the last four quarters.

Among the 14 analysts covering the stock, the consensus rating is a “Moderate Buy.” That’s based on five “Strong Buy” ratings and nine “Holds.”

On Feb. 5, JPMorgan raised its price target on Fox Corporation to $69 while maintaining a “Neutral” rating.
