News Corp Discloses Daily ASX Updates on $1B Stock Repurchase Program

What Happened

  • News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on January 13, 2026 reporting that it provided information to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) regarding transactions under its stock repurchase programs. The Company is authorized to buy up to $1 billion aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and discloses Repurchase Program activity daily to the ASX and in its periodic SEC reports. Copies of the ASX disclosures are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.

Key Details

  • Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
  • ASX requirement: daily disclosure of transactions under the Repurchase Programs (if any).
  • Exhibits: copies of the information provided to the ASX are included as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 in the filing.
  • Filing date/signature: Form 8-K filed Jan 13, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel & Corporate Secretary.

Why It Matters

  • Buybacks can reduce outstanding share count and may support per-share metrics; regular ASX disclosures increase transparency about the Company’s repurchase activity.
  • The Company’s statements about future repurchases are forward-looking and subject to market conditions, securities laws and other risks described in its SEC filings — News Corp does not commit to updating those statements except as required by law.
