Dow Jones & Co., the parent of The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s and MarketWatch.com, said Monday it has a goal of $1 billion in earnings in five years.
In the 2025 fiscal year, which ended June 30, 2025, the subsidiary of News Corp. reported $588 in earnings before interest, depreciation, taxes and amortization.
The company said it plans to hit the target with margin expansion, accelerating direct-to-consumer offerings with new products and pricing, and a sharp focus on high-margin enterprise news.
“As the world is seeing more change than it has in generations – from geopolitics and markets to energy and technology – demand for reliable news, data and intelligence is greater than ever,” said Almar Latour, the CEO of Dow Jones and the publisher of The Journal, in a statement.
According to the Monday presentation, 58% of Dow Jones subscribers have a net worth of more than $1 million.
The Journal averaged 129 million monthly visits in the 2025 fiscal year, up 42% from 91 million monthly visits in the 2018 fiscal year.
The company also plans to launch new coverage areas and add regional news products.
