What are Wall Street analysts saying about 21st Century Fox stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about 21st Century Fox stock:
- 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Twenty-First Century Fox continues to benefit from higher affiliate rate, rise in retransmission and robust advertising demand for its live content and entertainment product. Shares have outperformed the industry in the past year. Disney is acquiring majority of Twenty-First Century Fox’s assets, which includes its Film and Television studios accompanied by cable and international TV businesses. The new Twenty-First Century Fox is expected to have a sound financial position, backed by strong growth potential and solid free cash flow generation. However, growing concern over the company’s proposed acquisition of remaining 61% stake in Europe’s leading pay-TV broadcaster Sky plc is expected to drag down shares in the near term. Moreover, falling ad-prices due to the advertiser boycott of The Ingraham Angle show is a concern. Further, estimates have been going down ahead of the company’s Q3 earnings release." (4/17/2018)
- 2. Pivotal Research analysts commented, "We are downgrading both 21 st Century Fox and Discovery at this time, as those companies’ recent gains result in relatively fully-valued stocks. We maintain a Buy on Time Warner, Sell on Disney as well Hold ratings on both of CBS and Viacom. Ahead of 4Q17 earnings, we continue to see weak fundamentals for video-centric media owners. Cord shaving and cord-cutting erodes subscriber bases, constraining affiliate fee revenue growth. Viewing of video content is still expanding, although much of its growth accrues to newer SVOD services and YouTube. Advertising looks relatively worse, as the large brands who dominate it are generally reducing spending on the medium and are not likely to be replaced by enough emerging brands to make up the difference. This paired with marginal shifts into digital media lead to our view that national TV advertising declines going forward." (1/9/2018)
