Red Flags

2025-08-28 → 2026-08-28

We read every document this company filed with the SEC this year and counted the classic danger phrases. Where wording can be misleading, we open the actual documents and separate real warnings from accounting boilerplate. Each hit links to the exact document.

Dilution (at the market offering) 0 THIS YEAR · 2 ALL TIME

An ATM lets the company print and sell new shares into the market any day it wants. Every print dilutes your slice.

Reverse stock split 0 THIS YEAR · 8 ALL TIME

A reverse split shrinks the share count to lift the price above $1. Repeat reverse splits are the classic death-spiral signature.

Going concern doubt 0 REAL WARNINGS · 1 matching doc this year · 17 ALL TIME

Auditors flagged substantial doubt the company survives the next 12 months without new money.

EVIDENCE: [1] 8-K FILED 2026-03-27

Delisting / exchange risk 0 THIS YEAR · 3 ALL TIME

The exchange has threatened to kick the stock off. Delisting pressure usually ends in a reverse split or a fire-sale raise.

SOURCE: FULL-TEXT SEARCH OF THE COMPANY'S OFFICIAL SEC FILINGS. "REAL WARNINGS" = WE OPENED THE LINKED DOCUMENTS AND FILTERED PHRASES WRAPPED IN NEGATIONS, RESOLUTION LANGUAGE OR STANDARD CONTRACT TERMS. "AT LEAST" = MORE DOCUMENTS CARRY THE PHRASE THIS YEAR THAN WE COULD OPEN AND READ.

The Printing Press

How many shares exist, over time, exactly as the company reported in its own filings. In microcaps, a rising share count is how holders pay for everything: salaries, debts, and bad deals. Sudden collapses in the line are reverse splits, marked below.

SHARES OUTSTANDING TODAY
as reported in the 10-K filed 2015-08-13

THIS COMPANY HAS NOT REPORTED ENOUGH PERIODS TO DRAW A TREND LINE YET. ONE NUMBER, CITED.

03

Cash Countdown

Cash in the bank against how fast the company burns it. When this hits zero, the next stop is usually a desperate raise at bad terms, and existing holders pay through dilution.

What the Newest Filing Changed

The latest filings, translated into holder impact. Every number cites its form, date and SEC link.

Shares outstanding

Shares outstanding: nothing to compare. This company's filings do not publish a share count for two consecutive periods, so no honest change can be computed.

Breaking Filing

8-K · 2026-08-27

An 8-K is the "something happened right now" filing. Here is what this one says, in the company's own words.

Item 8.01

As previously reported, under News Corporation's (the "Company's") stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"), the Company is authorized to acquire from time to time up to $1 billion in the aggregate of the Company's outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Under the rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (the "ASX"), the Company is required to provide to the ASX, on a daily basis, disclosure of transactions pursuant to the Repurchase Program, if any. The Company also discloses information concerning the Repurchase Program in the Company's quarterly an...

A rules-based reading of the cited filing facts: a range with reasons, never a prediction.

HOLD
SCREENING VERDICT
HIGH confidence
$0.0000-$35.35
FAIR VALUE BRACKET
trailing earnings of $1.96/share at 10.0-18.0x

HOW THE BRACKET IS BUILT: TRAILING EARNINGS OF $1.96/SHARE AT 10.0-18.0X · BOOK EQUITY OF $15.95/SHARE AS A SUPPORT LEVEL · CASH FLOOR: $3.62/SHARE IN A WIND-DOWN.

BASIS FOR

+1

Revenue was roughly flat (+6.8% period over period).

+2

Fair-value range anchored to cited facts: $0.00 to $35.35 per share.

AGAINST

−1

The filings do not publish a comparable share count for the last two quarters, so dilution could not be measured for this verdict.

−2

The filings do not report usable cash and operating-burn figures, so runway could not be computed for this verdict.

METHOD: DETERMINISTIC RULES OVER CITED SEC FILING FACTS: SHARE-COUNT CHANGE BETWEEN THE LAST TWO REPORTED QUARTERS (DILUTION), CASH-TO-BURN RUNWAY FROM THE MOST RECENT OPERATING CASH FLOW, PERIOD-OVER-PERIOD REVENUE GROWTH, AND A FAIR-VALUE RANGE ANCHORED TO CASH PER SHARE VS PRICE. THRESHOLDS ARE TUNABLE IN APP/VERDICT_ENGINE.PY. NOT A PREDICTION.

PEOPLE WITH THE BEST INFORMATION ABOUT THIS COMPANY ARE SELLING MORE THAN THEY BUY. NOT PROOF OF ANYTHING: EXECUTIVES SELL FOR MANY REASONS. BUT AT MICROCAP SCALE, IT RARELY SMELLS GOOD. "10B5-1 PLAN" MEANS THE TRADE WAS SCHEDULED UNDER A PRE-SET TRADING PLAN, DISCLOSED IN THE FILING'S OWN FOOTNOTES: PRE-PLANNED SALES CARRY LESS SIGNAL THAN SPUR-OF-THE-MOMENT ONES.
