Fox Corporation reported fiscal third-quarter results for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Revenue fell to $3.99 billion from $4.37 billion a year earlier, mainly because the prior year included the Super Bowl LIX broadcast, and GAAP net income attributable to stockholders dropped to $166 million ($0.38 per share) from $346 million ($0.75). Adjusted EBITDA rose 11% to $954 million and adjusted EPS rose to $1.32 from $1.10, which matters to shareholders because the company's headline revenue and GAAP profit declined while its adjusted profit measures improved.
