Description: NWSA News October 30, 2025

News Corp (NASDAQ: NWSA) is a diversified media and information services firm that creates, curates, and distributes content across five operating segments: Digital Real Estate Services, Dow Jones, Book Publishing, News Media, and “Other” businesses.

Its flagship brands include MarketWatch, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Investor’s Business Daily, Factiva, Dow Jones Risk & Compliance, and Dow Jones Energy, delivering news, data, and analytics through newspapers, websites, mobile apps, newsletters, podcasts, and video.

The company also publishes a portfolio of daily and weekly newspapers such as The Australian, The Daily Telegraph, The New York Post, and The Times, plus a broad range of books (fiction, nonfiction, children’s, and religious) and operates the social-media content agency Storyful and a sports-radio network.

Key recent metrics: FY 2023 revenue was approximately $10.5 billion, with the Digital Real Estate Services segment contributing roughly $2.3 billion; WSJ digital subscriptions now exceed 3 million users, and the company reported a 7% year-over-year growth in digital advertising revenue, reflecting broader industry shifts toward subscription-based models and programmatic ad spend.

Given the ongoing transition to digital subscriptions and the sensitivity of real-estate advertising to macro-economic cycles, tracking NWSA’s subscriber churn and ad-spend trends is critical for assessing its upside potential.
