Factors to Consider

Fox’s third-quarter fiscal 2022 results are expected to have benefited from a healthy affiliate revenue growth and a strong advertising marketplace.

In the last reported quarter, affiliate fee revenues rose 11.2% year over year reaching $1.69 billion, driven by healthy growth in the FOX Cable Networks and Television segments. Advertising revenues increased 5.5% year over year to $2.41 billion, driven by the continued growth at Tubi. The trend is likely to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for affiliate fee revenues is currently pegged at $1.80 billion, indicating growth of 4.88% year over year.

Fiscal third-quarter advertising revenue growth is expected to have been accelerated, driven by the recovering ad demand and spending in the addressable market.

Fox Corporation-owned FOX Audio Network’s new advertising and distribution deal with Megaphone, a Spotify SPOT company, is also expected to have boosted advertising revenues.

Per the deal, FOX Audio Network will use Spotify’s Megaphone as the exclusive hosting platform for the former’s expanding portfolio of original audio content.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for advertising revenues is currently pegged at $1.32 billion, indicating growth of 10.3% year over year.
