Company News
Fox has partnered with iSpot to integrate always-on attribution and outcomes measurement into its FOX AdStudio platform. The collaboration provides advertisers with real-time insights into campaign effectiveness and business outcomes across screens and platforms. Fox frames the tools as enabling brands to move beyond traditional metrics toward measurable performance. The company reports advertisers using the approach have seen significant campaign result changes. Fox shares currently trade at $64.03, down 13.2% year to date. The stock has returned 96.5% over three years and 83.6% over five years. The partnership supports Fox's strategy of leveraging live news and sports content with data-driven advertising. However, the company faces competition from data-rich platforms like Alphabet and Meta for performance marketing budgets.
Fox reported better-than-expected second-quarter results, with revenue rising 28.1% year-on-year to $4.21 billion and non-GAAP profit of $1.79 per share beating analyst estimates by 29.3%. Management attributed the strong performance to robust advertising from live sports and news programming, particularly the FIFA Men's World Cup broadcast. Streaming platform Tubi achieved 35% revenue growth, driven by a 17% increase in viewing time. The newly launched FOX One direct-to-consumer streaming service exceeded subscriber acquisition expectations. Fox saw double-digit advertising growth across entertainment, financial, technology, and telecommunications categories. Looking ahead, management expects continued growth from digital initiatives and live events. The company anticipates benefiting from political advertising during upcoming midterm elections and views the pending Roku acquisition as a catalyst for expanding connected TV reach.
Fox Corporation reported record financial results for fiscal year 2026, with revenue growing 5% to over $17 billion and EBITDA increasing 8% to $3.9 billion. The company attributed the performance to record advertising and distribution revenue. During the year, Fox launched its direct-to-consumer streaming service FOX One and broadcast the FIFA Men's World Cup to record US audiences. The company also announced a pending acquisition of Roku, which it described as the next phase of its digital evolution. Fox's streaming platform Tubi strengthened its position in the market. The company navigated what it characterised as a dynamic news cycle whilst achieving these operational milestones.
Roku reported second quarter results that beat analyst expectations, with adjusted earnings per share of $1.08 versus the $0.60 estimate and revenue of $1.35 billion against the $1.3 billion estimate. Total net revenue increased 22% year-over-year, while platform revenue grew 25% to $1.22 billion. The company generated net income of $164 million and adjusted EBITDA of $254 million, both record highs. Advertising revenue rose 25% to $673 million, with gross margin expanding to 62.4%. Subscriptions revenue increased 26% to $548 million. Streaming hours reached 37.9 billion, up 7% year-over-year. Devices revenue declined 1% to $134 million. Fox Corporation is acquiring Roku under a definitive agreement announced on 15 June 2026. The company did not provide financial guidance due to the pending acquisition.
Fox Corporation is refusing to renegotiate its NFL media rights agreement before the league's 2029 opt-out window. CEO Lachlan Murdoch said the company will wait until closer to the 2030 season to discuss the contract, which runs through 2033 but includes a one-time termination option after 2029. The decision protects Fox from immediate cost increases but leaves the broadcaster vulnerable to competition from streaming platforms. Netflix has expressed interest in pursuing NFL rights when they become available. Fox's latest quarter showed revenue rising 28% to $4.21 billion, with advertising sales up 78% driven by the FIFA World Cup. Adjusted EBITDA increased 27% to $1.20 billion, though higher sports rights costs offset some gains.
