Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Fox Corporation reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $4.571 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2026, up 22% from the prior-year quarter. Net income was $957 million, compared with $609 million, while net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders was $943 million, or $2.20 per share, versus $599 million, or $1.32 per share.
Adjusted net income attributable to stockholders was $1.085 billion ($2.54 per share), compared with $686 million ($1.51 per share). Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, rose 54% to $1.641 billion from $1.065 billion. Advertising revenue increased 47% to $2.081 billion, mainly reflecting the current-year FIFA Men's World Cup broadcast, higher political advertising and digital growth led by Tubi; distribution revenue rose 9% to $2.084 billion.
Higher sports programming rights amortization and production costs, along with higher digital content costs, partly offset revenue growth. Net cash provided by operating activities was $616 million, compared with $130 million used in the prior-year quarter.

How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Adjusted Net Income financial
"Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS respectively"
Adjusted net income is a company's reported profit after removing unusual, one-time, or non-operational items so the number reflects the business’s regular earning power. Investors use it like a cleaned-up scorecard — similar to judging a player’s season performance without a few fluke games — to compare companies or assess trends without being misled by rare gains or losses that won’t affect future cash flow.
Adjusted EPS financial
"Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS respectively"
Adjusted earnings per share (adjusted eps) is a measure of a company's profit per share that has been modified to exclude certain one-time or unusual items, such as costs from restructuring or asset sales. It provides a clearer picture of the company’s core performance by removing events that may distort the usual earnings. Investors use adjusted eps to better understand a company's ongoing profitability and compare it more accurately over time.

FOX REPORTS FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2027
REVENUE OF $4.57 BILLION,
NET INCOME OF $957 MILLION, AND
ADJUSTED EBITDA OF $1.64 BILLION
NEW YORK, NY, November 2, 2026 – Fox Corporation (Nasdaq: FOXA, FOX; “FOX” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2026.
The Company reported total quarterly revenue of $4.57 billion, an increase of $833 million or 22% as compared to the amount reported in the prior year quarter. Distribution revenue increased 9%, driven by 10% growth at the Cable Network Programming segment and 4% growth at the Television segment. Advertising revenue increased 47%, primarily due to the current year broadcast of the FIFA Men's World Cup ("World Cup"), higher political advertising revenue, and continued digital growth led by the Tubi AVOD service. Content and other revenue was $406 million as compared to the $411 million reported in the prior year quarter.
The Company reported quarterly net income of $957 million as compared to the $609 million reported in the prior year quarter. Net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders was $943 million ($2.20 per share) as compared to the $599 million ($1.32 per share) reported in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders1 was $1.09 billion ($2.54 per share) as compared to the $686 million ($1.51 per share) reported in the prior year quarter.
Quarterly Adjusted EBITDA2 was $1.64 billion, an increase of $576 million or 54% from the amount reported in the prior year quarter, as the revenue increase noted above was partially offset by higher expenses. The increase in expenses was primarily due to higher sports programming rights amortization and production costs led by the current year broadcast of the World Cup, and higher digital content costs.
Commenting on the results, Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer Lachlan Murdoch said:
"FOX has had an outstanding start to fiscal 2027 with first-quarter records for revenue and Adjusted EBITDA underpinned by robust growth in both advertising and distribution revenue. We commenced the year with the stellar performance of the FIFA Men’s World Cup, the kickoff of the college football and NFL seasons, and an active election cycle at the national and local levels. These events supported strong contributions from across the company, reflecting the focused strategy we are executing and the strength of our content and brands. These record results coupled with the strong momentum we are continuing to see across our business gives us confidence in delivering value for shareholders in a thoughtful and disciplined manner.”

NOTE 1 – ADJUSTED NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED EPS
The Company uses net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders and earnings per share (“EPS”) attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders excluding net income effects of Restructuring, impairment and other corporate matters, adjustments to Equity earnings (losses) of affiliates, Non-operating other, net, Tax provision and Noncontrolling interest adjustments (“Adjusted Net Income” and “Adjusted EPS” respectively) to evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations exclusive of certain items that impact the comparability of results from period to period.
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are not measures of performance under GAAP and should be considered in addition to, and not as substitutes for, net income attributable to Fox Corporation stockholders and EPS as reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management uses these measures in comparing the Company’s historical performance and believes that they provide meaningful and comparable information to management, investors and equity analysts to assist in their analysis of the Company’s performance relative to prior periods and the Company’s competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA does not include: Depreciation and amortization, Restructuring, impairment and other corporate matters, Equity earnings (losses) of affiliates, Interest expense, net, Non-operating other, net and Income tax expense.
Management believes that information about Adjusted EBITDA assists all users of the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements by allowing them to evaluate changes in the operating results of the Company’s portfolio of businesses separate from non-operational factors that affect Net income, thus providing insight into both operations and the other factors that affect reported results. Adjusted EBITDA provides management, investors and equity analysts a measure to analyze the operating performance of the Company’s business and its enterprise value against historical data and competitors’ data, although historical results, including Adjusted EBITDA, may not be indicative of future results (as operating performance is highly contingent on many factors, including customer tastes and preferences).
Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure and should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, net income, cash flow and other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. In addition, this measure does not reflect cash available to fund requirements and excludes items, such as depreciation and amortization and impairment charges, which are significant components in assessing the Company’s financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
