What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on January 12, 2026, to provide disclosures it submitted to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) regarding its ongoing stock repurchase programs. The company 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 includes the ASX notices (provided as exhibits) and reiterates customary forward-looking statements and disclaimers.

Key Details

  • Company authorized to buy back up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock under its Repurchase Programs.
  • Under ASX rules, News Corp provides daily disclosure of any transactions made under the Repurchase Programs; the 8-K attaches those ASX notices.
  • Filing date: January 12, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.
  • The ASX disclosures contain forward-looking statements about intent to repurchase shares and note risks (market price, market conditions, securities laws, alternative opportunities) and no obligation to update those statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters Share repurchase programs can affect share count and earnings-per-share trends and signal management’s view of stock value. This 8-K confirms News Corp’s ongoing authority and its provision of daily ASX transaction notices, giving investors timely visibility into buyback activity. Investors should watch subsequent ASX disclosures and company filings for specifics on actual repurchase amounts and timing.
