News Corp Credits Dow Jones For Strong Performance


News Corporation released its third quarter fiscal 2025 earnings results on Thursday, covering the period ending March 31, 2025. The company, which owns assets like Dow Jones, HarperCollins, News Corp Australia, and digital real estate platforms, reported solid financial performance driven by growth in key segments.

News Corp reported total revenue of $2.01 billion, a slight increase from the prior year and in line with analyst estimates of $2.0 billion. The growth was fueled by strong performances in the Dow Jones, Book Publishing (HarperCollins), and Digital Real Estate Services segments.


Dow Jones: The division, which includes The Wall Street Journal and Barron’s, saw robust revenue growth due to a rebound in digital subscriptions. The Wall Street Journal reported increased subscriber numbers, bolstered by professional information products like WSJ Pro and Risk & Compliance.

Book Publishing (HarperCollins): This segment contributed significantly to revenue gains, driven by strong sales of both physical and digital books. Popular titles and expanded digital distribution were key factors.

News Media: This segment, including News Corp Australia and U.S./U.K. mastheads, faced headwinds from a softer advertising market but was partially offset by digital initiatives.

Digital Growth: News Corp emphasized its shift toward digital revenue streams, with digital subscriptions and advertising now accounting for a significant portion of income. The company’s focus on premium content and data-driven products has strengthened its financial resilience.
