Key Metrics
Top Statement Risk
Sports rights cost inflation
Metrics are mathematically derived from official filings.
Event-Driven Margins Mask Core Strength
FOX's gross margin swung from 22.9% in 2026Q2 to 100% in 2026Q4, per reported figures, reflecting World Cup timing. Excluding event quarters, operating margins average near 20%, indicating resilient core profitability.
The 100% gross margin in 2026Q4 is a data artifact from the FIFA World Cup quarter, where no programming costs were recognized, not a sustainable trend. In non-event quarters like 2026Q2, gross margins fell to 22.9%, highlighting the heavy amortization of sports rights. Operating margins in typical quarters (e.g., 20.1% in 2026Q3) suggest that FOX's core news and sports assets generate strong incremental profitability, but investors should monitor whether sports rights inflation erodes this over time.
ROIC Volatility Reflects Event Timing
ROIC ranged from 2.7% in 2026Q2 to 9.1% in 2026Q4, per financial statements, with the World Cup quarter boosting returns. Excluding event quarters, ROIC averages near 4%, indicating modest capital efficiency.
The 9.1% ROIC in 2026Q4 is inflated by the World Cup's revenue surge, while the 2.7% in 2026Q2 reflects the absence of major events. Over the past ten quarters, ROIC has averaged around 4%, which is below the cost of capital, suggesting that FOX's asset base—dominated by sports rights and goodwill—generates limited economic returns. The company's low capital intensity (CapEx ~2.5% of revenue) means that returns are driven by content amortization efficiency rather than fixed asset turnover.
Working Capital Swings Distort Efficiency
Cash conversion cycle improved from 72 days in 2024Q3 to 16 days in 2026Q2, per reported data, but DSO and DPO fluctuate widely due to affiliate and programming payment timing, obscuring underlying efficiency.
The CCC improvement is largely driven by a sharp reduction in DIO (from 36 to 15 days) and a spike in DPO (to 56 days in 2026Q2), reflecting the timing of sports rights payments. DSO has ranged from 56 to 79 days, indicating that affiliate fee collections are relatively stable but subject to quarterly seasonality. These swings suggest that working capital management is not a core driver of value; instead, the company's efficiency is better measured by its ability to convert programming investments into cash, which is strong given cumulative OCF exceeding net income by $4.1B over ten quarters.
Leverage Eases as Cash Accumulates
Debt-to-equity fell from 0.74 in 2024Q4 to 0.64 in 2026Q4, per financial statements, while interest coverage improved to 16.35x, indicating a comfortable debt service position despite sports rights obligations.
Total debt declined to $7.6B while cash rose to $4.2B, reducing net debt and improving D/EBITDA to 3.90x in 2026Q4 from over 10x in 2025Q2. Interest coverage of 16.35x in 2026Q4 is robust, but it falls to around 4.5x in non-event quarters, suggesting that coverage is cyclical. The announced Roku acquisition, per recent reports, may increase leverage, but the current fortress balance sheet provides ample headroom for integration without straining debt service.
Liquidity Buffers Cyclical Cash Flows
Current ratio improved to 3.17 in 2026Q4 from 2.54 in 2024Q4, per reported figures, with quick ratio at 2.99, indicating ample liquidity to cover short-term obligations and weather advertising downturns.
The current ratio's improvement is driven by rising cash balances and stable current liabilities, providing a strong buffer against the negative free cash flow quarters seen in 2026Q2 and 2025Q2. The quick ratio of 2.99 suggests that inventory is not a significant liquidity concern, consistent with a content-light model. However, the company's large programming payment obligations, which are not fully captured in current liabilities, could strain liquidity if sports rights costs escalate faster than affiliate fees.
Misapplied Metric: Gross Margin
Gross margin is the most misapplied ratio for FOX, per industry practice, because it swings from 22.9% to 100% due to sports rights amortization timing, obscuring true profitability.
Analysts often use gross margin to compare FOX with peers, but the 100% figure in 2026Q4 is a data artifact from the World Cup quarter, where no programming costs were recognized. In contrast, non-event quarters show gross margins near 30%, reflecting the heavy cost of sports rights. A more reliable metric is operating margin excluding event quarters, which averages around 20%, or EBITDA margin, which better captures the recurring cash-generative nature of the business. Investors should adjust for the biennial political cycle and major sports events to assess underlying profitability.
