Biggest risks, in its own words

KIRA’s summary AI analyst

Hi! I read News’s latest annual report (fiscal 2026). Here is what stands out:

4 strengths

1.Sales and profit

See section β†’
  • News had $9.0B of revenue in fiscal 2026, up 6.8% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed βˆ’0.7% a year on average.
  • News made $573M of net profit in fiscal 2026.

2.Cash and shareholders

See section β†’
  • Free cash flow was $811M in fiscal 2026, 9.0% of revenue.
  • News returned $845M to shareholders in fiscal 2026, 104% of free cash flow. The diluted share count fell 2.0%.
  • In the last 12 months, insiders sold $3.2M of shares on the open market and bought none.

3.Financial health

See section β†’

  • Its return on capital was 8.9%: every 100 invested in the business earned about 9 in a year.
  • News passes 5 of 8 financial health tests (Piotroski F-score).

Biggest risks, in its own words

  • Competition from other media, and its ability to keep up with new technology and changes in how people read, watch and shop.
  • A drop in advertising spending, or changes in the online advertising market that cut its advertising revenue.
  • Its dependence on a single or limited number of suppliers for some products, services, data and information.
  • Developments in AI, including its own use of AI, which could harm its business or reputation.
  • Higher costs to print and distribute books and newspapers, or disruption of printing and distribution.

Revenue and margins

KIRA Β· News had $9.0B of revenue in fiscal 2026, up 6.8% on the year before. Over five years, revenue changed βˆ’0.7% a year on average.
