The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- NWS closes below its 50-day average ($32.63) while the 50-day is still above the 200-day ($30.45): a pullback inside a longer rise, not yet a downtrend.
- At $28.96, NWS is 19.0% below its 1-year high of $35.76, set on August 27, 2026, and 13.6% above its 1-year low of $25.49 (February 13, 2026).
- Over the past month NWS fell 9.3%, from $31.92 to $28.96.
- NWS trades at 25.9x its last twelve months of earnings and 18.8x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 37.8% higher.
- Its P/E is 9.8% above the 23.6x of NWSA, the other publishing company we track.
- NWS's 30-day volatility, 51.5% a year, works out to a typical daily move of about 3.2%.
- Yahoo Finance puts its beta at 1.01: over five years of monthly returns, NWS moved about 1.01% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
- The last session traded 2.1x NWS's average daily volume of the 30 sessions before it.
What would change the read
- A close back above the 50-day average, $32.63 (+12.7%), restores the uptrend; the 50-day falling 6.7% under the 200-day at $30.45 would make it a downtrend.
- A close above $35.76 (+23.5%) would be a new 1-year high; below $25.49 (−12.0%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for NWS, the same ones the chart below draws; the P/E, forward P/E and beta are Yahoo Finance quote fields.
- The averages are simple means of the last 50 and 200 closes; the 1-year high and low are the highest high and lowest low of the last 252 sessions; the 30-day volatility is the standard deviation of the past month's daily returns, annualized with the square root of 252.
- Peers are the other companies Yahoo Finance files under publishing among the assets we track, not a full industry screen; the median counts those with a positive P/E.
