News Corp Stock Poised To Grow?

News Corp (NASDAQ:NWSA) stock, a diversified media company that includes news and information services, book publishing, digital real estate services, and subscription video services (in Australia), has increased by almost 10% over the last ten trading days and currently stands at around $23. The market probably reacted upwards on the company’s beat on top and bottom lines in its fiscal second-quarter earnings. In comparison, the broader S&P 500 returned over 2% growth over the last ten days. While the company’s stock has remained largely flat in the last five days, can it rebound from here? We believe that the company’s stock is still undervalued at 40x consensus 2021 earnings and that the stock could grow going forward. Specifically, there is a 53% chance of a rise in NWSA’s stock over the next month (twenty-one trading days) based on our machine learning analysis of trends in the stock price over the last five years.
