In the wake of the 2020 US presidential election, Dominion Voting Systems (“Dominion”) sued Fox for defamation. Dominion’s lawsuit alleges that Fox defamed Dominion’s business by supporting, repeating or disseminating a number of “provenly false but devastating lies about Dominion,” including that Dominion committed voter fraud by using the rigged the 2020 election, that Dominion’s software and algorithms rigged the vote count in the 2020 election, that Dominion was created to rig elections, and that Dominion paid kickbacks to government officials using its machines. Dominion is seeking over $1.6 billion in damages. As of February 2023, specific details from internal discussions at Fox surrounding the 2020 election emerged, revealing that Fox senior executives understood that claims that Dominion rigged the 2020 election were false. As a result, Fox faces significant potential legal liability.
As a result of the continuing revelations of Fox’s legal exposure in the Dominion lawsuit, Fox Class A stock has fallen from a closing price of $37.03 on February 17, 2023 to a closing price of $32.52 on March 15, 2023 , down 12.17%. Fox Class B shares have fallen from a closing price of $34.22 on February 17, 2023 to a closing price of $29.83 on March 15, 2023, a decline of 12.8%.
