Uniti: Q1 Earnings Snapshot
On Monday, Fox Corp reported fiscal third-quarter revenue of $3.99 billion, topping Wall Street's consensus estimate of $3.79 billion despite year-over-year pressure from the absence of a Super Bowl broadcast.

CEO Lachlan Murdoch announced Fox secured rights to two additional nationally televised NFL games for the upcoming season, emphasizing the company's 30-year partnership with the league.
Fox executives reported record third-quarter EBITDA growth and strong free cash flow, while the company repurchased approximately $50 million each of Class A and Class B common stock.
Management anticipates the FIFA Men's World Cup, hosted across North America in June and July, alongside upcoming midterm elections, will further drive advertising and streaming engagement.
