Valuing News Corp B stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of News Corp B's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
News Corp B's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 43x. In other words, News Corp B shares trade at around 43x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
News Corp B's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.5479. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into News Corp B's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
News Corp B's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $1.4 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a News Corp B's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 31.88% of net profits
Recently News Corp B has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), News Corp B shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In News Corp B's case, that would currently equate to about $0.2 per share.
While News Corp B's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that News Corp B may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
News Corp B's most recent dividend payout was on 8 April 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 March 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").
News Corp B's shares were split on a 2:3 basis on 15 November 2010 . So if you had owned 3 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your News Corp B shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for News Corp B shares which in turn could have impacted News Corp B's share price.
Over the last 12 months, News Corp B's shares have ranged in value from as little as $23.825 up to $35.1354. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while News Corp B's is 1.252. This would suggest that News Corp B's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
