Positive

Completion of Foxtel sale simplifies the business and removes a non-core asset.
High-margin segments Dow Jones and Digital AG真人官方 Estate generated $1.2 bn of the $1.4 bn total segment EBITDA.
Digital subscriber base reached 6.3 m across Dow Jones consumer products, supporting recurring revenue.

Negative

Other segment posted a $223 m EBITDA loss, weighing on consolidated profitability.
News Media EBITDA margin was only ~7%, illustrating ongoing print and advertising pressure.
Regulatory and competitive risks from data-privacy laws, AI platforms and alternative media are identified throughout the filing.

Insights

TL;DR: Solid segment EBITDA, Foxtel exit streamlines portfolio; limited profit detail restricts earnings view.

The filing highlights an $8.5 bn continuing-revenue base with EBITDA concentration in Dow Jones and Digital AG真人官方 Estate (combined 59% of segment EBITDA). The Foxtel divestiture removes a lower-growth pay-TV asset, sharpening focus on digital subscriptions and property classifieds. However, the Other segment鈥檚鈥�$223 m drag and absence of net income, cash-flow or leverage data leave questions on overall profitability and capital allocation.

TL;DR: Digital scale growing鈥�6.3 m consumer subs plus AI licensing prospects鈥攂ut traditional news units still margin-light.

Dow Jones posted 25% EBITDA margin, leveraging 6 m subs and AI licensing avenues. REA and Move deliver strong traffic leadership, supporting $601 m EBITDA. Book Publishing remained profitable despite market softness. News Media鈥檚 $153 m EBITDA on $2.17 bn revenue underscores print headwinds even with 60% U.K. reach. Competitive pressures from tech platforms and evolving privacy rules remain material.
