NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened

• News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on February 5, 2026 reporting information it provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) regarding its ongoing share repurchase program. The Company is authorized to buy up to $1 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and provides ASX disclosure of repurchase transactions on a daily basis. Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attach the specific ASX disclosures referenced in the filing. The filing reiterates standard forward-looking statement language and states the company does not undertake an obligation to update those statements except as required by law.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Filing date: February 5, 2026 (Form 8-K, Items 8.01 and 9.01).
• ASX disclosure: Company provides daily reports to the ASX of any transactions under the repurchase program; Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 are the ASX communications.
• Legal/forward-looking note: statements about intent to repurchase are forward-looking and subject to market and regulatory risks.

Why It Matters

• Share repurchases can reduce outstanding shares and may support per-share measures (like earnings per share); regular ASX disclosures give investors transparency into actual repurchase activity. This 8-K does not announce a change to the $1 billion authorization or provide new financial results — it reports routine regulatory disclosures about the ongoing buyback program. Investors should watch the ASX daily reports and future SEC filings for specifics on actual repurchase amounts and timing.
