News Corp Hosts Dow Jones Investor Briefing
Leadership Outlines Strategic Pathway to Achieve $1 Billion in Annual Dow Jones Segment EBITDA Within Five Years-70% Above Fiscal 2025 Levels
Presentation Details Dow Jones's Transformation into a Global News, Data and Information Services Leader
NEW YORK (March 16, 2026) - News Corp (Nasdaq: NWS, NWSA; ASX: NWS, NWSLV) today detailed the profound transformation of Dow Jones during an Investor Briefing, and detailed a pathway to $1 billion in annual Dow Jones segment EBITDA within five years. The presentation underscored how the business has transcended its legacy roots to become a distinct authority in news and business intelligence, strategically positioned to thrive in an era where trusted data is at a premium.
Dow Jones has been a key driver-along with Digital Real Estate Services and Book Publishing-of News Corp's 11 successive quarters of year-over-year Total Segment EBITDA growth. Between fiscal 2018 and 2025, Dow Jones has delivered:
A transformed revenue base that is 82% digital (vs. 60% in Fiscal 2018) and 80% recurring (vs. 69% in Fiscal 2018)
17% compound annual segment EBITDA growth
Nearly doubling of margin to 25.2%
At the briefing, executives shared a pathway to $1 billion in segment EBITDA within five years, along with key drivers:
Accelerating Risk & Energy businesses, which we expect to drive margin expansion
Accelerating direct-to-consumer offerings with new products and pricing
Sharp focus on high-margin enterprise news
Continuing cost discipline and operating leverage
News Corp has spent the last decade structurally reinventing itself into a majority digital enterprise, successfully pivoting from a reliance on advertising to a high-growth model defined by recurring revenues and record profitability, said Robert Thomson, Chief Executive of News Corp. In this Age of AI, we are an Input company. Just as semiconductors and energy power the physical world, our authoritative editorial is an essential input for the digital world. Our revenues and profitability have been growing, and will be enhanced by these lucrative new monetization opportunities from large AI models and the plethora of new AI products.
We are excited to tell the Dow Jones growth story. Dow Jones is a news, data and intelligence powerhouse. We offer reliable and trusted information to help our customers make informed decisions, said Almar Latour, CEO of Dow Jones and Publisher, The Wall Street Journal. As the world is seeing more change than it has in generations - from geopolitics and markets to energy and technology - demand for reliable news, data and intelligence is greater than ever. That's even more true in the era of AI, which is only just beginning. As AI models are rippling from industry to industry, their output is only as good as their input, which is where Dow Jones comes in. We deliver trusted business news, deep energy markets data, cutting edge geopolitical intelligence and unrivaled proprietary risk and compliance data. We're simply indispensable.
