Fox’s Q3 Buoyed by Strong Affiliate Fee Growth; Fox News Returns to the Top of Cable News Ratings

Neil Macker, CFA Senior Equity Analyst

Analyst Note

| Neil Macker, CFA |

Fox posted strong fiscal 2021 third-quarter results as revenue and EBITDA both beat FactSet consensus. Both segments generated solid results despite strong comps from the same quarter last year that included the Super Bowl and much higher political spending.

We expect that Fox News will maintain its lead in a less charged environment moving forward. We are maintaining our narrow moat and $37 fair value estimate.
