IMAX Q3 Earnings Surpass Expectations, Revenues Increase Y/Y

Investors interested in stocks from the Broadcast Radio and Television sector have probably already heard of Fox Corporation (FOX) and Roku (ROKU). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now? Let's take a closer look.
We have found that the best way to discover great value opportunities is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with a great grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits.
Fox Corporation and Roku are sporting Zacks Ranks of #1 (Strong Buy) and #3 (Hold), respectively, right now. This means that FOX's earnings estimate revision activity has been more impressive, so investors should feel comfortable with its improving analyst outlook. But this is only part of the picture for value investors.
Value investors also try to analyze a wide range of traditional figures and metrics to help determine whether a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.
The Value category of the Style Scores system identifies undervalued companies by looking at a number of key metrics. These include the long-favored P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that help us determine a company's fair value.
FOX currently has a forward P/E ratio of 13.05, while ROKU has a forward P/E of 691.42. We also note that FOX has a PEG ratio of 1.29. This figure is similar to the commonly-used P/E ratio, with the PEG ratio also factoring in a company's expected earnings growth rate. ROKU currently has a PEG ratio of 11.32.
Another notable valuation metric for FOX is its P/B ratio of 1.94. The P/B is a method of comparing a stock's market value to its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, ROKU has a P/B of 5.46.
These are just a few of the metrics contributing to FOX's Value grade of A and ROKU's Value grade of D.
FOX is currently sporting an improving earnings outlook, which makes it stick out in our Zacks Rank model. And, based on the above valuation metrics, we feel that FOX is likely the superior value option right now.

FOX vs. ROKU: Which Stock Should Value Investors Buy Now?

Investors in Fox Corp (Symbol: FOX) saw new options begin trading this week, for the December 19th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the FOX options chain for the new December 19th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.
The put contract at the $45.00 strike price has a current bid of 20 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $45.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $44.80 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of FOX, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $51.78/share today.
Because the $45.00 strike represents an approximate 13% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 78%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 0.44% return on the cash commitment, or 2.57% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Fox Corp, and highlighting in green where the $45.00 strike is located relative to that history:
Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $55.00 strike price has a current bid of 40 cents. If an investor was to purchase shares of FOX stock at the current price level of $51.78/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $55.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 6.99% if the stock gets called away at the December 19th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if FOX shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Fox Corp, as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing FOX's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $55.00 strike highlighted in red:
Considering the fact that the $55.00 strike represents an approximate 6% premium to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the covered call contract would expire worthless, in which case the investor would keep both their shares of stock and the premium collected. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 58%. On our website under the contract detail page for this contract, Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change and publish a chart of those numbers (the trading history of the option contract will also be charted). Should the covered call contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 0.77% boost of extra return to the investor, or 4.47% annualized, which we refer to as the YieldBoost.
The implied volatility in the put contract example is 53%, while the implied volatility in the call contract example is 45%.
Meanwhile, we calculate the actual trailing twelve month volatility (considering the last 250 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $51.78) to be 29%. For more put and call options contract ideas worth looking at, visit StockOptionsChannel.com.

First Week of FOX December 19th Options Trading

If you are looking for a stock that has a solid history of beating earnings estimates and is in a good position to maintain the trend in its next quarterly report, you should consider Fox Corporation (FOX). This company, which is in the Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry, shows potential for another earnings beat.
This company has an established record of topping earnings estimates, especially when looking at the previous two reports. The company boasts an average surprise for the past two quarters of 18.94%.
For the most recent quarter, Fox was expected to post earnings of $1.03 per share, but it reported $1.27 per share instead, representing a surprise of 23.30%. For the previous quarter, the consensus estimate was $0.96 per share, while it actually produced $1.1 per share, a surprise of 14.58%.
Price and EPS Surprise
For Fox, estimates have been trending higher, thanks in part to this earnings surprise history. And when you look at the stock's positive Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction), it's a great indicator of a future earnings beat, especially when combined with its solid Zacks Rank.
Our research shows that stocks with the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time. In other words, if you have 10 stocks with this combination, the number of stocks that beat the consensus estimate could be as high as seven.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a version of the Zacks Consensus whose definition is related to change. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Fox currently has an Earnings ESP of +11.87%, which suggests that analysts have recently become bullish on the company's earnings prospects. This positive Earnings ESP when combined with the stock's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) indicates that another beat is possibly around the corner. We expect the company's next earnings report to be released on October 30, 2025.
When the Earnings ESP comes up negative, investors should note that this will reduce the predictive power of the metric. But, a negative value is not indicative of a stock's earnings miss.
Many companies end up beating the consensus EPS estimate, but that may not be the sole basis for their stocks moving higher. On the other hand, some stocks may hold their ground even if they end up missing the consensus estimate.
Because of this, it's really important to check a company's Earnings ESP ahead of its quarterly release to increase the odds of success. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Zacks' Research Chief Names "Stock Most Likely to Double"
Our team of experts has just released the 5 stocks with the greatest probability of gaining +100% or more in the coming months. Of those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian highlights the one stock set to climb highest.
This top pick is a little-known satellite-based communications firm. Space is projected to become a trillion dollar industry, and this company's customer base is growing fast. Analysts have forecasted a major revenue breakout in 2025. Of course, all our elite picks aren't winners but this one could far surpass earlier Zacks' Stocks Set to Double like Hims & Hers Health, which shot up +209%.

Why Fox (FOX) is Poised to Beat Earnings Estimates Again

A downtrend has been apparent in Fox Corporation (FOX) lately. While the stock has lost 5.7% over the past week, it could witness a trend reversal as a hammer chart pattern was formed in its last trading session. This could mean that the bulls have been able to counteract the bears to help the stock find support.
While the formation of a hammer pattern is a technical indication of nearing a bottom with potential exhaustion of selling pressure, rising optimism among Wall Street analysts about the future earnings of this company is a solid fundamental factor that enhances the prospects of a trend reversal for the stock.
What is a Hammer Chart and How to Trade It?
This is one of the popular price patterns in candlestick charting. A minor difference between the opening and closing prices forms a small candle body, and a higher difference between the low of the day and the open or close forms a long lower wick (or vertical line). The length of the lower wick being at least twice the length of the real body, the candle resembles a 'hammer.'
In simple terms, during a downtrend, with bears having absolute control, a stock usually opens lower compared to the previous day's close, and again closes lower. On the day the hammer pattern is formed, maintaining the downtrend, the stock makes a new low. However, after eventually finding support at the low of the day, some amount of buying interest emerges, pushing the stock up to close the session near or slightly above its opening price.
When it occurs at the bottom of a downtrend, this pattern signals that the bears might have lost control over the price. And, the success of bulls in stopping the price from falling further indicates a potential trend reversal.
Hammer candles can occur on any timeframe -- such as one-minute, daily, weekly -- and are utilized by both short-term as well as long-term investors.
Like every technical indicator, the hammer chart pattern has its limitations. Particularly, as the strength of a hammer depends on its placement on the chart, it should always be used in conjunction with other bullish indicators.
Here's What Makes the Trend Reversal More Likely for FOX
There has been an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions for FOX lately, which can certainly be considered a bullish indicator on the fundamental side. That's because a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions usually translates into price appreciation in the near term.
Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for the current year has increased 0.1%. What it means is that the sell-side analysts covering FOX are majorly in agreement that the company will report better earnings than they predicted earlier.
If this is not enough, you should note that FOX currently has a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), which means it is in the top 5% of more than 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises. And stocks carrying a Zacks Rank #1 or 2 usually outperform the market. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .
Moreover, the Zacks Rank has proven to be an excellent timing indicator, helping investors identify precisely when a company's prospects are beginning to improve. So, for the shares of Fox, a Zacks Rank of 1 is a more conclusive fundamental indication of a potential turnaround.
Zacks Names #1 Semiconductor Stock
This under-the-radar company specializes in semiconductor products that titans like NVIDIA don't build. It's uniquely positioned to take advantage of the next growth stage of this market. And it's just beginning to enter the spotlight, which is exactly where you want to be.
With strong earnings growth and an expanding customer base, it's positioned to feed the rampant demand for Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Internet of Things. Global semiconductor manufacturing is projected to explode from $452 billion in 2021 to $971 billion by 2028.

Fox (FOX) May Find a Bottom Soon, Here's Why You Should Buy the Stock Now

Looking at the underlying holdings of the ETFs in our coverage universe at ETF Channel, we have compared the trading price of each holding against the average analyst 12-month forward target price, and computed the weighted average implied analyst target price for the ETF itself. For the Global X S&P 500 Covered Call ETF (Symbol: XYLD), we found that the implied analyst target price for the ETF based upon its underlying holdings is $44.05 per unit.
With XYLD trading at a recent price near $38.95 per unit, that means that analysts see 13.08% upside for this ETF looking through to the average analyst targets of the underlying holdings. Three of XYLD's underlying holdings with notable upside to their analyst target prices are Progressive Corp. (Symbol: PGR), Fox Corp (Symbol: FOX), and Kinder Morgan Inc. (Symbol: KMI). Although PGR has traded at a recent price of $240.00/share, the average analyst target is 18.73% higher at $284.95/share. Similarly, FOX has 18.03% upside from the recent share price of $51.40 if the average analyst target price of $60.67/share is reached, and analysts on average are expecting KMI to reach a target price of $31.74/share, which is 17.11% above the recent price of $27.10. Below is a twelve month price history chart comparing the stock performance of PGR, FOX, and KMI:
Below is a summary table of the current analyst target prices discussed above:

Are analysts justified in these targets, or overly optimistic about where these stocks will be trading 12 months from now? Do the analysts have a valid justification for their targets, or are they behind the curve on recent company and industry developments? A high price target relative to a stock's trading price can reflect optimism about the future, but can also be a precursor to target price downgrades if the targets were a relic of the past. These are questions that require further investor research.

Best Growth Stocks to Buy for Oct. 13th

Investors with an interest in Broadcast Radio and Television stocks have likely encountered both Fox Corporation (FOX) and Roku (ROKU). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now? Let's take a closer look.
The best way to find great value stocks is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits.
Fox Corporation has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while Roku has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now. This means that FOX's earnings estimate revision activity has been more impressive, so investors should feel comfortable with its improving analyst outlook. However, value investors will care about much more than just this.
Value investors also try to analyze a wide range of traditional figures and metrics to help determine whether a company is undervalued at its current share price levels.
Our Value category highlights undervalued companies by looking at a variety of key metrics, including the popular P/E ratio, as well as the P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that have been used by value investors for years.
FOX currently has a forward P/E ratio of 13.69, while ROKU has a forward P/E of 896.07. We also note that FOX has a PEG ratio of 1.35. This popular figure is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also considers a company's expected EPS growth rate. ROKU currently has a PEG ratio of 14.68.
Another notable valuation metric for FOX is its P/B ratio of 2.04. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock's market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, ROKU has a P/B of 5.96.
Based on these metrics and many more, FOX holds a Value grade of A, while ROKU has a Value grade of D.
FOX has seen stronger estimate revision activity and sports more attractive valuation metrics than ROKU, so it seems like value investors will conclude that FOX is the superior option right now.

FOX or ROKU: Which Is the Better Value Stock Right Now?

The proven Zacks Rank system focuses on earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find winning stocks. Nevertheless, we know that our readers all have their own perspectives, so we are always looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong picks.
Of these, perhaps no stock market trend is more popular than value investing, which is a strategy that has proven to be successful in all sorts of market environments. Value investors use tried-and-true metrics and fundamental analysis to find companies that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.
Luckily, Zacks has developed its own Style Scores system in an effort to find stocks with specific traits. Value investors will be interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with both "A" grades in the Value category and high Zacks Ranks are among the strongest value stocks on the market right now.
One company to watch right now is Fox (FOX). FOX is currently holding a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and a Value grade of A. The stock is trading with a P/E ratio of 11.55, which compares to its industry's average of 30.57. Over the past 52 weeks, FOX's Forward P/E has been as high as 11.79 and as low as 8.17, with a median of 10.05.
Investors will also notice that FOX has a PEG ratio of 1.63. This popular figure is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also considers a company's expected EPS growth rate. FOX's industry currently sports an average PEG of 1.96. Within the past year, FOX's PEG has been as high as 7.31 and as low as 1.57, with a median of 2.
Another valuation metric that we should highlight is FOX's P/B ratio of 1.75. The P/B ratio is used to compare a stock's market value with its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. FOX's current P/B looks attractive when compared to its industry's average P/B of 4.39. Over the past 12 months, FOX's P/B has been as high as 1.78 and as low as 1.20, with a median of 1.36.
Finally, investors should note that FOX has a P/CF ratio of 8.67. This figure highlights a company's operating cash flow and can be used to find firms that are undervalued when considering their impressive cash outlook. This stock's P/CF looks attractive against its industry's average P/CF of 14.70. Over the past year, FOX's P/CF has been as high as 11.57 and as low as 6.68, with a median of 8.90.
These figures are just a handful of the metrics value investors tend to look at, but they help show that Fox is likely being undervalued right now. Considering this, as well as the strength of its earnings outlook, FOX feels like a great value stock at the moment.
