Bank of America Securities analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich upgraded Fox Corp. Class A to Buy and raised her price target to $85 from $54, citing favorable conditions for news-focused media companies and live sports programming, as well as confidence in Fox’s strategic positioning.
Sentiment also improved after Zacks upgraded Fox to Rank
#2 (Buy) on Oct. 15, following upward revisions to near-term earnings estimates. On Oct. 14, Fox shareholders approved the issuance of Class A common shares linked to the pending approximately $22 billion acquisition of Roku, with 99.9% of votes cast in favor, clearing a key procedural hurdle.
Fox benefits from its focus on live content and the resilience of its advertising business, supported by streaming platform Tubi. Investors are watching for the company’s upcoming earnings report, expected in late October.
