NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on January 9, 2026 reporting other events related to its ongoing stock repurchase programs. The company reiterated that it is authorized to repurchase, from time to time, up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock. The filing attaches as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 the information provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on the dates noted in those exhibits. The submission was signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Key Details

• Repurchase program authorization: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B shares.
• ASX requirement: the company must provide daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the repurchase programs.
• Exhibits: 99.1 and 99.2 are the ASX notices/information referenced (dates shown within those exhibits).
• Forward-looking statements: statements about intent to repurchase are subject to market conditions, securities laws and other risks; no obligation to update forward-looking statements.

Why It Matters This filing confirms News Corp’s continuing buyback authority and its compliance with ASX disclosure rules. For investors, an active repurchase program can reduce shares outstanding and potentially support earnings per share and share price, but the filing does not obligate the company to make purchases and notes purchases depend on market conditions and other factors. The attached ASX notices provide the specific transaction disclosures and dates for investors who want the detailed daily reporting.
