Twenty-First Century Fox (NASDAQ:FOXA) — following an eventful regular trading day discussing merger and acquisition shuffling between itself, Disney, Time Warner and AT&T (NYSE:T) — reported fiscal Q1 2018 earnings results after the bell today. The multi-media major beat the Zacks consensus estimate by a penny on the bottom line to 49 cents per share, whereas revenues outpaced the $6.87 billion estimate to $7.00 billion.
Fox did not enter the fray on new reports relating to Disney or the other companies being talked about today, but upon releasing Q1 numbers, the company said it is clear to close on its Sky Broadcasting purchase by June 30, 2018, “absent any further delays.” For more info on FOXA earnings, click here.
