Murdoch is a genius, love fox or hate it, and with him owning IGN entertainment, which is a huge niche cash crop, I see this stock going nowhere but up in the long run.

NWS has a too high valuation compared to its sales potential. It is also loss making with a negative operating margin due to booking unusual expenses in the last three quarters. Its stock price may decrease by a third.
