Fox Shares Slide 2.55 as 0.26 Billion Volume Ranks 403rd Amid Institutional Buys and Insider Sales

On August 15, 2025, Fox (FOXA) closed down 2.55% with a trading volume of $0.26 billion, ranking 403rd in market activity. Institutional investor activity highlighted mixed signals, as Prudential PLC increased its stake by 59.7% in Q1, now holding 89,642 shares valued at $5.07 million. Conversely, CFO Steven Tomsic sold 39,642 shares, reducing his ownership by 22.84%, valued at $2.19 million. The company also announced a dividend hike to $0.28 per share, up from $0.18, with a September 24 payout.

Analyst activity remained active, with 8 buy ratings and 6 holds out of 14 recent recommendations. Price targets ranged from $53 to $72, averaging $61.69, reflecting a 3.01% upside from current levels. Notable upgrades included Wolfe Research raising its rating to "Peer Perform" and Goldman Sachs maintaining a "Buy" with a $72 target. However, some firms like TD Cowen and J.P. Morgan expressed caution with lower price targets.

Despite the dividend boost and analyst optimism, insider sales and mixed institutional positioning underscored cautious sentiment. The stock’s 12-month high of $59.12 remained in play, but short-term volatility persisted amid strategic shifts and market dynamics.

A backtest of a strategy buying top 500 volume stocks and holding for one day from 2022 to 2025 showed a 0.98% average daily return, totaling 31.52% over 365 days. This suggests limited short-term momentum capture amid market volatility and timing risks.
