NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened
News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on February 12, 2026, reporting that it has provided information to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about activity under its authorized stock repurchase program. The Company is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and attached Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 contain the ASX notices provided on the dates shown in those exhibits. The filing includes customary forward-looking statement language regarding the Company’s intent to repurchase shares.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase program size: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: Company must provide daily disclosure of repurchase transactions (if any); the filing includes the specific notices provided to the ASX (Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2).
• Filing date and signature: 8-K filed Feb 12, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel & Corporate Secretary.
• Forward-looking disclaimer: Statements about intent to repurchase are subject to market conditions, securities laws and other risks; no obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required.

Why It Matters
Share repurchases can reduce outstanding shares and potentially support earnings per share and stock price; the Company’s ASX disclosures increase transparency about any repurchase activity. This 8-K does not itself state specific dollar amounts or share counts repurchased—investors should review Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 for the transaction details and monitor subsequent ASX/SEC filings for updates.
