News Corp. NWSA
Revenue compounded at −0.7% a year over five years — but profit grew faster: net income at +11.7%, earnings per share at +13.0%.
The share count fell from 0.39B to 0.38B — the buyback concentrates the same profit into fewer slices.
Compound annual rates per period — left blank where that exact year isn't on file, the series crosses a loss, or (per-share rows) a split falls inside the window.
Each USD of equity produced 7 cents of profit this year.
EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
