What are Wall Street analysts saying about Twenty-First Century Fox stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Twenty-First Century Fox stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Twenty-First Century Fox is expected to hurt from increasing expenses in the Cable Networking Programming and the Television segment. However, the company is gaining from increasing affiliate and advertising revenues from the Cable Network Programming and Television segments as well as improving content revenues at the Filmed Entertainment segment. The company continues to benefit from rise in retransmission and robust advertising demand for its live content and entertainment product. Shares have outperformed the industry on a year-to-date basis." (10/9/2018)
- 2. Pivotal Research analysts commented, "We recognize some upside potential to this number if Disney makes a higher bid vs. its prior offer, which we see reflected in the slightly higher trading levels of Fox stock. However, we are also mindful of a potential outcome involving a division of the assets Fox would be selling. We continue to rate Fox Hold. Comcast has now formally made its bid to buy the same Fox assets Disney previously agreed to purchase. For Fox shareholders, this is clearly a positive event, and any upside that might follow from Disney responding with a higher bid of its own will be even more positive." (6/13/2018)
