Fox Corporation

Have you been paying attention to shares of Fox (FOXA)? Shares have been on the move with the stock up 3.6% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $76.39 in the previous session. Fox has gained 0.8% since the start of the year compared to the 2.8% move for the Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector and the 14% return for the Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry.
What's Driving the Outperformance?
The stock has a great record of positive earnings surprises, as it hasn't missed our earnings consensus estimate in any of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on October 30, 2025, Fox reported EPS of $1.51 versus consensus estimate of $1.06.
For the current fiscal year, Fox is expected to post earnings of $4.42 per share on $16.09 in revenues. This represents a -7.53% change in EPS on a -1.29% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $5.09 per share on $16.82 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 15.24% and 4.54%, respectively.
Valuation Metrics
Though Fox has recently hit a 52-week high, what is next for Fox? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company is due for a pullback from this level.
On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as they provide investors with an additional way to sort through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). These styles are represented by grades running from A to F in the categories of Value, Growth, and Momentum, while there is a combined VGM Score as well. The idea behind the style scores is to help investors pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.
Fox has a Value Score of A. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are B and C, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of A.
In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 16.7X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is a premium to the peer industry average of 11.9X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 12.7X versus its peer group's average of 5.9X. Additionally, the stock has a PEG ratio of 1.65. This is good enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective, making Fox an interesting choice for value investors.
Zacks Rank
We also need to look at the Zacks Rank for the stock, as this is even more important than the company's VGM Score. Fortunately, Fox currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) thanks to rising earnings estimates.
Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if Fox fits the bill. Thus, it seems as though Fox shares could still be poised for more gains ahead.
How Does FOXA Stack Up to the Competition?
Shares of FOXA have been soaring, and the company still appears to be a decent choice, but what about the rest of the industry? One industry peer that looks good is Fox Corporation (FOX). FOX has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and a Value Score of A, a Growth Score of B, and a Momentum Score of C.
Earnings were strong last quarter. Fox Corporation beat our consensus estimate by 42.45%, and for the current fiscal year, FOX is expected to post earnings of $4.46 per share on revenue of $15.99 billion.
Shares of Fox Corporation have gained 5.3% over the past month, and currently trade at a forward P/E of 14.88X and a P/CF of 11.41X.
The Broadcast Radio and Television industry is in the top 40% of all the industries we have in our universe, so it looks like there are some nice tailwinds for FOXA and FOX, even beyond their own solid fundamental situation.

Fox Corporation (FOXA) Hits Fresh High: Is There Still Room to Run?

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – January 5, 2026 – Today, Zacks Equity Research discusses Fox FOXA, Bilibili BILI and Sirius XM SIRI.
Industry: Broadcast Radio & TV
Link: https://www.zacks.com/commentary/2811252/3-broadcast-radio-tv-stocks-to-buy-from-a-challenging-industry
The Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry has been grappling with an escalation in cord-cutting despite a surge in demand for streaming content. However, industry players, such as Fox, Bilibili and Sirius XM, are reaping the benefits of a massive spike in digital content consumption. These companies are thriving due to their diverse content offerings, which include original, regional, and short-form content tailored for small screens like smartphones and tablets.
Improved Internet speed and penetration, coupled with technological advancements, have been advantageous for industry participants. As monetization and revenues from advertising spending continue to be modest, strategies focused on profit protection, cash management and greater technology integration have gained significance and are expected to aid these companies in driving top-line growth in the near term.
Industry Description
The Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry encompasses companies that provide entertainment, sports, news, non-fiction, and musical content across television, radio and digital media platforms. These entities generate revenues through the sale of television and radio programs, advertising slots and subscriptions.
With technological advancements and a growing demand for virtual reality and Internet radio, industry players are increasing their investments in research and development, as well as sales and marketing efforts, to remain competitive. The industry's focus is likely to shift toward sustaining current levels of operations, coupled with a renewed emphasis on flexibility. This approach would accelerate the transition to a variable cost model, thereby reducing fixed costs and enhancing agility in the face of evolving market dynamics.
4 Broadcast Radio and Television Industry Trends to Watch
Shift in Consumer Preference a Key Catalyst: To adapt to the evolving landscape, companies are diversifying their content offerings for over-the-top (OTT) services alongside traditional linear TV. The availability of streaming services across a wide range of platforms has enabled them to reach a global audience, expand their international user base and attract advertisers to their platforms, thereby boosting ad revenues.
The utilization of services that aid advertisers in measuring their return on investment and enhancing use cases is expected to benefit industry participants. Major leagues and events, such as the NFL, NHL, Olympics, European Games, EPL and elections, also contribute significantly to ad revenue generation.
Increased Digital Viewing Fuels Content Demand: Many industry participants, either launching their own OTT services or acquiring existing ones, leverage user insights to deliver tailored content. The surge in digital viewing has made consumer data readily available, allowing companies to apply artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning techniques to create or procure targeted content. This approach not only boosts user engagement but also enables industry players to raise the prices of their services at opportune moments without the fear of losing subscribers.
Uncertain Macroeconomic Landscape Impedes Production and Ad Demand: Advertising is a significant revenue source for the Broadcast Radio and Television industry. However, industry participants are grappling with the effects of persistently high inflation, rising interest rates, increased capital costs, a soaring U.S. dollar and the looming threat of a recession.
These factors have prompted advertisers to trim their ad budgets, which is expected to impact the top-line growth of industry players in the near term. Moreover, intense competition for ad dollars from tech and social media companies has been a significant impediment to the growth of industry participants.
Low-Priced Skinny Bundles Impact Revenues: The surge in cord-cutting has compelled industry participants to offer "skinny bundles." These Internet-based services often contain fewer channels than traditional subscriptions and are, therefore, more affordable. This move aligns with changing consumer viewing dynamics, as growth in Internet penetration and advancements in mobile, video and wireless technologies have boosted small-screen viewing. While these alternative services are expected to keep users engaged with their platforms, increasing the need for additional content, the low-priced skinny bundles are likely to dampen the top-line performance of industry players.
Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Dull Prospects
The Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry is housed within the broader Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector. It currently carries a Zacks Industry Rank #171, which places it in the bottom 29% of more than 250 Zacks industries.
The group’s Zacks Industry Rank, which is the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates dismal near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than two to one.
The industry’s position in the bottom 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries results from a negative earnings outlook for the constituent companies in aggregate. Looking at the aggregate earnings estimate revisions, it appears that analysts are pessimistic about this group’s earnings growth potential.
Despite the gloomy industry outlook, a few stocks are worth watching, as these have the potential to outperform the market based on a strong earnings outlook. But before we present such stocks, it is worth first looking at the industry’s shareholder returns and current valuation.
Industry Lags Sector, S&P 500
The Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry has underperformed the broader Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector and the S&P 500 Index in the past six-month period.
The industry has lost 13.9% over this period compared with the S&P 500’s growth of 11.8% and the broader sector’s decline of 8.1%.
Industry's Current Valuation
On the basis of trailing 12-month Enterprise Value/ Earnings before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortization (EV/EBITDA), which is a commonly used multiple for valuing Broadcast Radio and Television stocks, the industry is currently trading at 8.71X versus the S&P 500’s 18.64X and the sector’s 10.4X.
In the past five years, the industry has traded as high as 15.63X and as low as 4.47X, recording a median of 8.49X.
3 Broadcast Radio and Television Stocks to Buy
Fox Corporation: This Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) company presents a compelling buy opportunity for 2026, anchored by transformative catalysts. It will broadcast all 104 FIFA World Cup 2026 matches across FOX and FS1, representing its largest production in a 32-year history, driving substantial advertising revenue with over 340 hours of programming, 100 hours more than the 2022 tournament.
Tubi achieved profitability in the first quarter of 2026 with 27% revenue growth, marking a critical inflection point for Fox's digital strategy. Management's confidence is evident through a $1.5 billion accelerated share repurchase program commencing in October 2025, returning capital to shareholders while capitalizing on Tubi's monetization trajectory.
With strong NFL viewership, expanding digital streaming capabilities, and the historic World Cup opportunity ahead, Fox Corporation remains exceptionally positioned for 2026 growth. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2026 earnings has moved north by 0.2% to $4.42 per share in the past 60 days. FOXA shares have returned 29.9% in the past six-month period.
Bilibili: This Zacks Rank #2 company presents a buy opportunity for 2026 as China's leading Gen Z video platform transitions into sustainable profitability. Following Q3 2025 results showing a historic turnaround to RMB469 million net profit versus prior-year losses, the platform's advertising revenues surged 23% year over year while gross margins expanded to 36.7% for the 13th consecutive quarter.
With 117 million daily active users spending record 112-minute sessions and monthly paying users reaching 35 million, monetization efficiency is accelerating. December's launch of 13 new games, including Trickster's Mischief, diversifies revenue beyond hit-driven titles, while AI-powered content tools enhance creator productivity and ad targeting effectiveness. Management's share buyback program and robust RMB23.5 billion cash position underscore confidence in sustained profitability amid expanding operating leverage.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 earnings has increased 1.9% to $1.05 per share in the past 60 days. BILI shares have gained 17.8% in the past six-month period.
SiriusXM Holdings: This Zacks Rank #2 company presents compelling upside potential entering 2026 following strategic developments in December 2025. The renewal of Howard Stern through 2028 secures marquee content, while Zachary Coughlin's CFO appointment brings automotive and consumer finance expertise critical for profitability optimization. Management targets $1.5 billion free cash flow by 2027, supported by $200 million annualized cost savings achieved in 2025.
The company's dominant 90% in-car subscriber base provides defensible market positioning amid expanding automotive partnerships. Debt reduction initiatives target a 3.6x leverage ratio, while maintaining a sustainable 5% dividend yield. Combined with 31% EBITDA margins and strategic focus on core automotive subscriptions, SiriusXM offers attractive fundamentals for long-term growth.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 earnings has moved north by 1.7% to $3.08 per share in the past 60 days. In the past six-month period, SIRI shares have declined 17.7%.

Zacks Industry Outlook Highlights Fox, Bilibili and Sirius XM

A strong stock as of late has been Fox Corporation (FOX). Shares have been marching higher, with the stock up 9.7% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $65.73 in the previous session. Fox has gained 42.4% since the start of the year compared to the 3% gain for the Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector and the 17.4% return for the Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry.
What's Driving the Outperformance?
The stock has an impressive record of positive earnings surprises, having beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on October 30, 2025, Fox reported EPS of $1.51 versus consensus estimate of $1.06.
For the current fiscal year, Fox is expected to post earnings of $4.46 per share on $15.99 in revenues. This represents a -6.69% change in EPS on a -1.93% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $5.03 per share on $16.55 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 12.71% and 3.55%, respectively.
Valuation Metrics
Fox may be at a 52-week high right now, but what might the future hold for the stock? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company is due for a pullback from this level.
On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as these give investors a variety of ways to comb through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). The individual style scores for Value, Growth, Momentum and the combined VGM Score run from A through F. The idea behind the style scores is to help investors pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.
Fox has a Value Score of A. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are B and D, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of A.
In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 14.6X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is not in-line with the peer industry average of 15.1X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 11.2X versus its peer group's average of 5.2X. Additionally, the stock has a PEG ratio of 1.44. This is good enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective, making Fox an interesting choice for value investors.
Zacks Rank
We also need to consider the stock's Zacks Rank, as this supersedes any trend on the style score front. Fortunately, Fox currently has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) thanks to favorable earnings estimate revisions from covering analysts.
Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if Fox meets the list of requirements. Thus, it seems as though Fox shares could have a bit more room to run in the near term.
How Does FOX Stack Up to the Competition?
Shares of FOX have been soaring, and the company still appears to be a decent choice, but what about the rest of the industry? One industry peer that looks good is Fox Corporation (FOXA). FOXA has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) and a Value Score of A, a Growth Score of B, and a Momentum Score of B.
Earnings were strong last quarter. Fox Corporation beat our consensus estimate by 42.45%, and for the current fiscal year, FOXA is expected to post earnings of $4.42 per share on revenue of $16.09 billion.
Shares of Fox Corporation have gained 11.2% over the past month, and currently trade at a forward P/E of 16.71X and a P/CF of 12.69X.
The Broadcast Radio and Television industry may rank in the bottom 78% of all the industries we have in our universe, but there still looks like there are some nice tailwinds for FOX and FOXA, even beyond their own solid fundamental situation.
#1 Semiconductor Stock to Buy (Not NVDA)
The incredible demand for data is fueling the market's next digital gold rush. As data centers continue to be built and constantly upgraded, the companies that provide the hardware for these behemoths will become the NVIDIAs of tomorrow.
One under-the-radar chipmaker is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the next growth stage of this market. It specializes in semiconductor products that titans like NVIDIA don't build. It's just beginning to enter the spotlight, which is exactly where you want to be.

Fox Corporation (FOX) Hits Fresh High: Is There Still Room to Run?

Key Points
Fox is Newsmax's primary rival and should remain much bigger than Newsmax by the end of the decade.
Mirum Pharmaceuticals is a small drugmaker that's poised to deliver tremendous growth.
The Trade Desk is a great pick in the advertising market for investors.
More than 50 million Americans regularly watch Newsmax (NYSE: NMAX) or read some of its publications. Thanks to a recently announced expansion into Europe and the Middle East, the number of people outside the U.S. who obtain their news from the company is likely to increase.
Forbes magazine has called Newsmax a "news powerhouse." However, Newsmax stock hasn't been a powerhouse for investors this year, except for a brief spike after its initial public offering (IPO) in late March and early April.
Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now, when you join Stock Advisor. See the stocks »
This communication services stock could roar back. However, I predict three stocks will be worth more than Newsmax five years from now.
1. Fox Corp
I'll start with Newsmax's biggest competitor in the conservative news arena: Fox Corp (NASDAQ: FOX) (NASDAQ: FOXA). It's a relatively easy prediction that Fox will be worth more than Newsmax by the end of the decade. After all, Fox's market cap of nearly $31 billion is already significantly larger than Newsmax's market cap of only $1.1 billion.
Even if the two companies were closer in size, I suspect that Fox would still outperform Newsmax over the next five years. Interestingly, the bigger and more established media company delivered stronger revenue growth in its latest quarter than Newsmax did.
Also, Newsmax remains unprofitable, posting a net loss of $4.1 million in the third quarter of 2025. Meanwhile, Fox posted a profit of $690 million in its September-ending quarter.
Despite these financial advantages, Fox's valuation is more attractive than that of Newsmax. Fox's shares trade at a price-to-sales ratio of 1.8, well below the forward sales multiple of 6 for Newsmax stock.
2. Mirum Pharmaceuticals
If you're looking for a small-ish stock that should grow much more than Newsmax over the next five years, I think Mirum Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: MIRM) is a great candidate. This drugmaker's market cap of around $4 billion is admittedly still higher than Newsmax's current market cap. However, Mirum has a lot more going for it than Newsmax does.
While Newsmax's revenue is increasing by low single-digit percentages, Mirum's revenue soared 47% year-over-year in the third quarter. This impressive performance was driven by fast-growing sales of the company's rare liver disease drug Livmarli.
Mirum thinks that Livmarli has the potential to become a blockbuster drug in the not-too-distant future. The company also has other pipeline programs that could generate annual sales of over $1 billion. Mirum has great expectations for voloxibat in treating the rare liver diseases, primary sclerosing cholangitis and primary biliary cholangitis, as well as for MRM-3379 in treating Fragile X syndrome, a rare genetic disorder.
The company could soon add another promising therapy to its lineup. Mirum recently announced plans to acquire Bluejay Therapeutics in a deal expected to close in the first quarter of 2026. Bluejay is evaluating its lead program, brelovitug, in a Phase 3 clinical study targeting chronic hepatitis delta virus, the most severe type of viral hepatitis.
3. The Trade Desk
Newsmax makes its money primarily through advertising. If you're looking for a stock that's a much better long-term pick in the advertising market, check out The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD).
The Trade Desk is leading advertising technology company. Its software helps advertising agencies and other clients place ads on a wide range of online sites and streaming networks.
I'm admittedly not going out on a limb by predicting that The Trade Desk will be worth more than Newsmax in five years. The adtech stock's market cap of $18.6 billion gives it a huge head start.
In my view, though, The Trade Desk will deliver greater returns than Newsmax. Despite a steep sell-off this year, The Trade Desk has excellent growth opportunities, driven by increasing ad-supported connected TV and expansion into international markets.
Should you buy stock in The Trade Desk right now?
Before you buy stock in The Trade Desk, consider this:
The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and The Trade Desk wasn’t one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.

Guggenheim Maintains Fox (FOXA) Buy Recommendation

Momentum investing revolves around the idea of following a stock's recent trend in either direction. In "long context," investors will be essentially be "buying high, but hoping to sell even higher." With this methodology, taking advantage of trends in a stock's price is key; once a stock establishes a course, it is more than likely to continue moving that way. The goal is that once a stock heads down a fixed path, it will lead to timely and profitable trades.
While many investors like to look for momentum in stocks, this can be very tough to define. There is a lot of debate surrounding which metrics are the best to focus on and which are poor quality indicators of future performance. The Zacks Momentum Style Score, part of the Zacks Style Scores, helps address this issue for us.
Below, we take a look at Fox (FOXA), a company that currently holds a Momentum Style Score of A. We also talk about price change and earnings estimate revisions, two of the main aspects of the Momentum Style Score.
It's also important to note that Style Scores work as a complement to the Zacks Rank, our stock rating system that has an impressive track record of outperformance. Fox currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy). Our research shows that stocks rated Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) and #2 (Buy) and Style Scores of "A or B" outperform the market over the following one-month period.
You can see the current list of Zacks #1 Rank Stocks here >>>
Set to Beat the Market?
Let's discuss some of the components of the Momentum Style Score for FOXA that show why this TV broadcasting company shows promise as a solid momentum pick.
Looking at a stock's short-term price activity is a great way to gauge if it has momentum, since this can reflect both the current interest in a stock and if buyers or sellers have the upper hand at the moment. It's also helpful to compare a security to its industry; this can show investors the best companies in a particular area.
For FOXA, shares are up 0.94% over the past week while the Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry is down 1.71% over the same time period. Shares are looking quite well from a longer time frame too, as the monthly price change of 9.26% compares favorably with the industry's 4.07% performance as well.
Considering longer term price metrics, like performance over the last three months or year, can be advantageous as well. Shares of Fox have increased 17.37% over the past quarter, and have gained 44.9% in the last year. On the other hand, the S&P 500 has only moved 2.85% and 17.84%, respectively.
Investors should also pay attention to FOXA's average 20-day trading volume. Volume is a useful item in many ways, and the 20-day average establishes a good price-to-volume baseline; a rising stock with above average volume is generally a bullish sign, whereas a declining stock on above average volume is typically bearish. FOXA is currently averaging 3,644,179 shares for the last 20 days.
Earnings Outlook
The Zacks Momentum Style Score encompasses many things, including estimate revisions and a stock's price movement. Investors should note that earnings estimates are also significant to the Zacks Rank, and a nice path here can be promising. We have recently been noticing this with FOXA.
Over the past two months, 6 earnings estimates moved higher compared to none lower for the full year. These revisions helped boost FOXA's consensus estimate, increasing from $4.20 to $4.42 in the past 60 days. Looking at the next fiscal year, 5 estimates have moved upwards while there have been no downward revisions in the same time period.
Bottom Line
Taking into account all of these elements, it should come as no surprise that FOXA is a #1 (Strong Buy) stock with a Momentum Score of A. If you've been searching for a fresh pick that's set to rise in the near-term, make sure to keep Fox on your short list.

B of A Securities Maintains Fox (FOXA) Buy Recommendation

Wall Street has been witnessing an astonishing rally since the beginning of 2023 barring some minor fluctuations. The rally has been primarily driven by the global artificial intelligence (AI) technology boom. Generative and agentic AI have transformed the entire landscape of the information technology sector worldwide.
Consequently, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite jumped 43.4% and 28.6%, respectively, in 2023 and 2024. This trend has continued this year too. The AI momentum is rock-solid and it has been expanding periphery, scale and magnitude day by day. As a result, the tech-heavy index is up 20% year to date.
Despite the fact that the Nasdaq Composite is a tech-laden index, several non-tech Nasdaq-listed stocks have skyrocketed this year, aside from large technology behemoths. Investment in these stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank should be fruitful in 2026.
Five such non-tech Nasdaq Composite-listed stocks are: Monster Beverage Corp. MNST, Expedia Group Inc. EXPE, Five Below Inc. FIVE, Fox Corp. FOXA and Royal Gold Inc. RGLD. Each of our picks currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy). You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
The chart below shows the price performance of our five picks year to date.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Monster Beverage Corp.
Monster Beverage has been benefiting from the expansion of the energy drinks market and product launches, reinforcing its category strength. MNST continues to benefit from constant growth in the global energy drink market, backed by strong demand across convenience stores and other key retail channels.
In third-quarter 2025, the Monster Energy Drinks segment's sales grew 16% on a currency-adjusted basis. Improving margins, supported by easing supply-chain pressures and lower costs, have contributed to MNST’s financial stability.
Monster Beverage has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 9.4% and 13.2%, respectively, for next year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for next year’s earnings has improved 4.7% over the last 60 days.
Expedia Group Inc.
Expedia operates a strong platform that connects travelers and suppliers, creating a cycle that supports stable demand, thus driving a stable increase in gross bookings. EXPE’s broad and well-recognized brand portfolio allows it to address diverse traveler needs across regions, supporting strong traffic, higher booking volumes and effective monetization.
EXPE’s extensive global supply base enhances its competitive positioning, while continuing investments in technology and partnerships help to strengthen its international footprint. A solid balance sheet and healthy liquidity further support EXPE’s long-term stability.
Expedia has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 6.3% and 20.8%, respectively, for next year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for next year’s earnings has improved 3.2% over the last 60 days.
Five Below Inc.
Five Below is delivering solid momentum, supported by accelerating traffic gains, improved marketing effectiveness and broad-based comparative strength across new and returning customers. Operating leverage was also a key highlight, with gross margin expanding 70 bps due to shrink mitigation in the last reported quarter and fixed-cost leverage, and EPS increasing more than 60% year over year.
FIVE raised full-year expectations, citing a solid start to holiday trading and stronger expectations for sales, the operating margin and EPS. For fiscal 2025, FIVE’s total sales are now expected to be $4.62-$4.65 billion, an upward revision from the previously stated $4.44-$4.52 billion.
Store expansion remained productive, highlighted by exceptional new-market openings, while curated assortments and stronger inventory positioning further reinforced FIVE’s growth trajectory.
Five Below has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 8.6% and 5.6%, respectively, for next year (ending January 2027). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for next year’s earnings has improved 1.3% over the last seven days.
Fox Corp.
Fox posted strong first-quarter fiscal 2026 results, where adjusted earnings per share reached $1.51 with revenues growing 4.9% year over year. The Cable Network Programming segment of FOXA delivered a 48% EBITDA margin with revenues increasing 4% to $1.66 billion, while Tubi achieved quarterly profitability earlier than projected with 27% revenue growth.
Total advertising revenues increased 6% to $1.41 billion, driven by FOX News' premium pricing and National Football League ratings averaging 22 million viewers. Upcoming Super Bowl LIX and FIFA Men's World Cup provide major advertising catalysts for FOXA. With $4.4 billion in cash and $1.5 billion in share repurchases, FOXA maintains financial flexibility despite escalating sports programming costs and streaming competition.
FOXA has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of -1.3% and -7.7%, respectively, for the current year (ending June 2026). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for current-year earnings has improved 5% in the last 60 days.
Royal Gold Inc.
Royal Gold has been benefiting from its solid streaming agreements. RGLD has been benefiting from its acquisitions and strong business model. Despite persistent inflationary pressures in the broader economy, the company has been maintaining high margins.
RGLD maintains a strong balance sheet, which is likely to drive growth in the upcoming quarters. This rise in metal prices, like gold and silver, will boost RGLD’s results in the coming quarters. RGLD is focused on allocating its strong cash flow to dividends, debt reduction and new businesses.
Royal Gold has an expected revenue and earnings growth rate of 28.8% and 48%, respectively, for next year. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for next year’s earnings has improved 17.3% over the last 30 days.

New Strong Buy Stocks for December 12th

A strong stock as of late has been Fox Corporation (FOX). Shares have been marching higher, with the stock up 2.4% over the past month. The stock hit a new 52-week high of $61.26 in the previous session. Fox has gained 33.1% since the start of the year compared to the 2% gain for the Zacks Consumer Discretionary sector and the 19.8% return for the Zacks Broadcast Radio and Television industry.
What's Driving the Outperformance?
The stock has an impressive record of positive earnings surprises, as it hasn't missed our earnings consensus estimate in any of the last four quarters. In its last earnings report on October 30, 2025, Fox reported EPS of $1.51 versus consensus estimate of $1.06.
For the current fiscal year, Fox is expected to post earnings of $4.46 per share on $15.99 in revenues. This represents a -6.69% change in EPS on a -1.93% change in revenues. For the next fiscal year, the company is expected to earn $5.02 per share on $16.55 in revenues. This represents a year-over-year change of 12.56% and 3.55%, respectively.
Valuation Metrics
While Fox has moved to its 52-week high in the recent past, investors need to be asking, what is next for the company? A key aspect of this question is taking a look at valuation metrics in order to determine if the company has run ahead of itself.
On this front, we can look at the Zacks Style Scores, as they provide investors with an additional way to sort through stocks (beyond looking at the Zacks Rank of a security). The individual style scores for Value, Growth, Momentum and the combined VGM Score run from A through F. The idea behind the style scores is to help investors pick the most appropriate Zacks Rank stocks based on their individual investment style.
Fox has a Value Score of A. The stock's Growth and Momentum Scores are C and F, respectively, giving the company a VGM Score of B.
In terms of its value breakdown, the stock currently trades at 13.7X current fiscal year EPS estimates, which is not in-line with the peer industry average of 14.9X. On a trailing cash flow basis, the stock currently trades at 10.5X versus its peer group's average of 4.8X. Additionally, the stock has a PEG ratio of 1.35. This is good enough to put the company in the top echelon of all stocks we cover from a value perspective, making Fox an interesting choice for value investors.
Zacks Rank
We also need to consider the stock's Zacks Rank, as this is even more important than the company's VGM Score. Fortunately, Fox currently has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy) thanks to rising earnings estimates.
Since we recommend that investors select stocks carrying Zacks Rank of 1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and Style Scores of A or B, it looks as if Fox meets the list of requirements. Thus, it seems as though Fox shares could still be poised for more gains ahead.
How Does FOX Stack Up to the Competition?
Shares of FOX have been soaring, and the company still appears to be a decent choice, but what about the rest of the industry? One industry peer that looks good is Fox Corporation (FOXA). FOXA has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy) and a Value Score of A, a Growth Score of C, and a Momentum Score of F.
Earnings were strong last quarter. Fox Corporation beat our consensus estimate by 42.45%, and for the current fiscal year, FOXA is expected to post earnings of $4.41 per share on revenue of $16.08 billion.
Shares of Fox Corporation have gained 3.7% over the past month, and currently trade at a forward P/E of 15.5X and a P/CF of 11.76X.
The Broadcast Radio and Television industry may rank in the bottom 58% of all the industries we have in our universe, but there still looks like there are some nice tailwinds for FOX and FOXA, even beyond their own solid fundamental situation.
