News Corp Earnings Beat Expectations on Strong Revenue and Share Buybacks With AI Deal Boost News Corp reported Q3 2026 revenue of about US$2.19b, reflecting year-over-year growth of roughly 8.8% to 9%, driven by Digital Real Estate Services, Dow Jones, and Book Publishing.
Segment EBITDA rose 18%, led by a 25% EBITDA increase in Digital Real Estate Services and an 11% rise in Dow Jones, while News Media segment EBITDA declined 55%.
Earnings per share came in at US$0.21, more than 30% above analyst expectations, as the company accelerated share repurchases to US$193m in the quarter and US$459m year-to-date and highlighted AI partnerships with Meta and OpenAI, plus expected proceeds from a US$1.5b settlement with Anthropic later in the year.
The mix of higher EPS, rising EBITDA in key segments, and active buybacks points to management leaning on higher-margin businesses and capital returns, while traditional News Media faces pressure.
AI content and licensing deals, along with the anticipated Anthropic settlement, could become important sources of cash and earnings, but you should watch how much of that is one-off versus repeatable. Reported Earnings • May 11

New York Post Media Group Launches New Media Venture, the California Post, in Early 2026 New York Post Media Group (NYPMG) launched a new media venture, The California Post, in early 2026. The California Post will offer readers a unique and indispensable combination of fearless, common-sense journalism, celebrity and entertainment news, world class sports reporting and the legendary covers people expect from TheNew York Post--but from a distinctly California perspective. The California Post content will appear across multiple platforms and formats, including mobile and desktop sites, video, audio, social media and importantly, a daily print edition. The California Post will be headquartered in Los Angeles and staffed by a robust team of tenacious editors, retailers and photographers dedicated to covering the stories that matter most to the people who live and work in the Golden State. Across print, digital and social channels, the team will chronicle the incredible state of California--a global power center of culture, sports, business and politics. The California Post will also leverage NYPMG's national news gathering capabilities, sharing resources with TheNew York Post and adding even more value for readers. This new venture is launching at the right time for NYPMG, California and Los Angeles. The Post brand, influence and reach has never been stronger, with The Post Digital Network, which includes NYPost.com, Page Six.com and Decider.com, attracting 90 million unique visitors in June alone. 90 million unique visitors inJune alone. 90% of Post digital readers already live outside of the New York media market. Los Angeles is home to the second largest concentration of Post readers, with 3.5 million monthly unique visitors--and 7.3 million across the state. This new masthead further positions The Post as a true national brand, substantially increasing its profile on the West Coast. The New York Post has achieved three consecutive years of profitability beginning in Fiscal Year 2022, an impressive achievement in a challenging environment for some publishers. NYPMG has appointed News Corp. veteran Nick Papps as TheCalifornia Post's Editor-in-Chief. Papps has nearly two decades of editorial leadership, and has helped drive editorial and commercial success at multiple publications. He has also served as News Corp. Australia's West Coast Correspondent for nearly three years and was based in Los Angeles. Now more than ever, California need a media outlet dedicated to common sense, clever coverage of the most important issues, many of which are ignored or dismissed by current print and digital outlets. Despite its vibrancy--as well as the upcoming Olympic Games and World Cup--California lacks a voice that will hold leaders to account as they attempt to tackle the most critical issues facing residents. In fact, Los Angeles is fast becoming a news desert, despite being home to nearly 13 million monthly digital news readers. Thousands of stories are going untold and countless perspectives aren't being represented by a media ecosystem that has lost touch with the people--especially as the city and state face unprecedented challenges and leadership vacuums. Many that's why TheNew York Post already outranks the leading LA-based publication when it comes to desktop viewing according to Comscore, and is gaining ground in every corner of the state.

Murdoch's News Corp Reportedly Eyes Joint Telegraph Bid with Rivals Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation (NasdaqGS:NWSA) and the owner of the Daily Mail have held talks about a potential joint takeover of Telegraph Media Group Limited — one of the UK’s most famous newspapers — alongside the UAE-backed investment fund RedBird IMI, people familiar with the matter said. A joint bid by the three would result in a smaller stake for RedBird IMI, which may ease concerns by British politicians over foreign state control of a legacy media outlet, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private talks. Representatives from the Daily Mail and General Trust — owner of the Daily Mail newspaper controlled by Jonathan Harmsworth — and News Corp.’s News UK unit have held back-channel conversations on how to form such a joint structure, they said.
