The 9 Wall Street analysts covering News Corp. have a median 12-month price target of $35, with estimates ranging from $30 to $43. These are third-party analyst estimates, not Ticker Nerd forecasts, and they are frequently wrong.
Of the 9 analysts covering News Corp., 8 rate it a Buy, 1 a Hold and 0 a Sell. Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model ranks News Corp. 85 out of 100 across roughly 4,600 US stocks as at 31 Oct 2026. None of this is personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances.
As at 31 Oct 2026, News Corp. ranks 85 out of 100 on Ticker Nerd's systematic factor model — a percentile across roughly 4,600 US stocks, built from its factor families. Its strongest factor family is Volatility (90 of 100).
No one can know that. What the data says: the median 12-month target from 9 analysts implies +20.2% from the last close, and Ticker Nerd's factor model ranks News Corp. 85 out of 100 as at 31 Oct 2026. Analyst targets are third-party estimates and frequently wrong; none of this is personal advice.
No analyst covering News Corp. publishes a 2030 price target — Wall Street targets run 12 to 18 months out. Sites quoting a 2030 price for NWSA are extrapolating price history, which says nothing about the business. The furthest attributed numbers are the current analyst targets: $30 to $43 over the next 12 months.
News Corp. returned +10.8% over the 12 months to 30 Oct 2026, with dividends reinvested. Past performance does not indicate future returns.
