NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened
News Corporation (NWSA) filed a Form 8-K on February 6, 2026, providing disclosure materials the company submitted to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) related to its stock repurchase program. The company reiterated that it is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion in the aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock, and attached the ASX disclosures as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2. The filing also includes standard forward‑looking statement language about intent to repurchase shares and associated risks.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase program size: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: the company provides daily disclosure of transactions under the repurchase program (if any).
• Exhibits: information provided to the ASX is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 (dates noted in those exhibits).
• Filing date and signature: Form 8-K filed Feb 6, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel & Corporate Secretary.

Why It Matters
The filing signals ongoing governance and transparency around News Corp’s buyback program—buybacks can reduce share count and potentially support earnings per share and share price if executed. This 8-K is primarily disclosure (including forward‑looking intent) rather than a report of a specific new authorization or detailed repurchase amounts in the text; investors seeking transaction-level data should review the attached ASX notices (Exhibits 99.1/99.2) or follow daily ASX disclosures for updates. The forward‑looking statement disclaimer means the company is not committing to future repurchases and may change plans based on market conditions and other factors.
