  • News Corp (NWSA) Jumps After Russell 1000 Removal; Analysts See Shares 24% Below Fair Value
    July 8, 2026, 4:39 PM EDT. News Corp (NWSA) came off the Russell 1000 Dynamic Index, a move hitting passive ownership but leaving operations untouched. The stock gained 8.42% in seven days to $26.92 even after getting dropped. Analyst targets put News at $35.18, saying the stock's undervalued by 24% given digital and AI content tie-ups that could lift sales and profit. Still, it trades at 32.7 times earnings, well above the US Media sector's 22.7, which brings up valuation worries. Headwinds include print losses and weaker traffic at Realtor.com. Investors are sorting out the short-term pop against the tougher long-term earnings story as the sector shifts.
