Most Popular Narrative: 18.5% Undervalued
Against Fox's last close at $62.28, the most followed narrative points to a fair value of $76.42. This implies a meaningful gap that hinges on connected TV, advertising power, and the planned Roku deal actually delivering the earnings that are being penciled in.
The planned Roku acquisition, with guided run rate cost synergies of about US$400 million, anticipated free cash flow per share accretion within two years of closing and continued US$1 billion to US$1.5 billion in annual buybacks, offers a path to higher earnings power and cash flow through both cost efficiencies and capital returns.
See why 6 investors see Fox as 19% undervalued.
Result: Fair Value of $76.42 (UNDERVALUED)
Still, the thesis around Fox depends heavily on regulators clearing the Roku deal and on cord cutting not eroding advertising and distribution revenue faster than digital grows.
