The read, from its own figures
What its numbers say
- NWSA closes below its 50-day average ($29.57) while the 50-day is still above the 200-day ($26.95): a pullback inside a longer rise, not yet a downtrend.
- At $26.39, NWSA is 16.6% below its 1-year high of $31.66, set on August 27, 2026, and 18.9% above its 1-year low of $22.20 (February 9, 2026).
- Over the past month NWSA fell 8.9%, from $28.97 to $26.39.
- NWSA trades at 23.6x its last twelve months of earnings and 17.1x the next twelve months' estimate, so analysts expect earnings 37.8% higher.
- Its P/E is 8.9% below the 25.9x of NWS, the other publishing company we track.
- NWSA's 30-day volatility, 51.6% 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, NWSA moved about 1.01% for each 1% move of the S&P 500.
- The last session traded 1.9x NWSA's average daily volume of the 30 sessions before it.
What would change the read
- A close back above the 50-day average, $29.57 (+12.0%), restores the uptrend; the 50-day falling 8.8% under the 200-day at $26.95 would make it a downtrend.
- A close above $31.66 (+20.0%) would be a new 1-year high; below $22.20 (−15.9%), a new 1-year low.
How it is computed
- Prices are Yahoo Finance's daily candles for NWSA, 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.
