News (NWSA) Stock Analysis & Forecast
Sep 28 close
$29.10+0.61 (+2.1%)
Gekko Brief
AI summaryNews shares rose 2.14% to $29.10, extending a pattern of steady gains tied largely to the company's ongoing $1 billion share repurchase program. Updates this week detailed progress under the plan, including roughly $496.3 million bought back to date, with $323.4 million repurchased on 24 September alone. Separately, a related share cancellation on the ASX trimmed outstanding Class A securities, while coverage of full-year results highlighted revenue up 7% to $9.03 billion and net income up 15% to $743 million, alongside a "Strong Buy" consensus and a mean target near $38.50 cited in that report.
At $29.10, the stock sits between its 50-day average of $29.24 and 200-day average of $26.51, reflecting a mixed short-term trend within a longer uptrend. The GekkoIndex reads 61.1, placing News in the Accumulation zone, up 1.7 over five days. Gekko Fair Value stands at $31.74, putting the current price 8.3% below that level.
The next earnings report is due 5 November 2026, after the close, 37 days away and outside a typical 20-trading-day holding window. Consensus among 2 covering firms remains a "buy" rating with a target of $36.16, implying 24.3% upside. Seasonality over the past 5 years shows a -1.4% average return across the next 20 trading days, positive in only 2 of those years. No insider, Congress, or unusual options activity appears in the recent windows, though one trailblazer holder is noted.
