Fox Corp stock steadies as insider trading and ratings guide attention

Fox Corp (US35137L1052) stock closed at USD 66.16 on Nasdaq on September 16, 2026, after a 2.09 percent drop from USD 67.57. The move leaves the shares below the 52-week high of USD 76.39 but well above the 52-week low of USD 48.34.
Insider trades set the tone
Fresh attention on Fox came from insider activity dated September 15, 2026, when Executive Chair and CEO Lachlan K. Murdoch sold 149,934 Class A shares at USD 68.53 and the LKM Family Trust bought the same number at the same price, each block valued at about USD 10.27 million, according to ad hoc news. The same report says MarketBeat put the consensus rating at Hold with an average price target of USD 76.35 on September 17, 2026.
That target sits 15.4 percent above the September 16 close of USD 66.16, while the market cap stood at USD 26.82 billion on September 17, 2026. For investors, the spread between the close and the consensus target is now the key valuation gap.
Valuation stays in view
MarketScreener UK showed on September 18, 2026 that Deutsche Bank kept a Buy rating and raised its Fox price target to USD 80 from USD 79, while JPMorgan lifted its target to USD 82 from USD 70 and Wells Fargo moved to USD 80 from USD 65. The same page also listed Fox at USD 64.99 on a CBOE close, down 1.77 percent, with a 5-day change of plus 3.60 percent and a year-to-date change of minus 9.48 percent.
The analyst range is wide: UBS linked Fox to sports and news strength earlier in the year, while Seaport Global moved to Neutral from Buy on August 7, 2026, according to the same MarketScreener page. That spread matters because it frames Fox less as a momentum story and more as a stock where ratings are still diverging around the same media asset base.
Next date matters
Fox's next earnings date is October 29, 2026, according to the company data shown in the September 17, 2026 Yahoo Finance snapshot. At the same time, that source showed a forward annual dividend of USD 0.58 per share and an ex-dividend date of September 2, 2026.
