NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on April 10, 2026 to provide information the company furnished to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company is authorized to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock. The 8-K attaches the ASX disclosure documents as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase capacity: up to $1.0 billion of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX rule: News Corp must provide daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the repurchase program.
• Exhibits: ASX information provided on the dates shown is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to the filing.
• Forward-looking statements in the attached materials are based on management’s current expectations and include standard disclaimers; the company disclaims any obligation to update them except as required by law.

Why It Matters A company-authorized buyback program is a capital-allocation tool that can reduce shares outstanding and affect metrics like earnings per share. This 8-K itself does not disclose specific repurchase amounts or timing—only the existence of the $1 billion authorization and the fact that transaction details are reported daily to the ASX. Retail investors should monitor the daily ASX disclosures and News Corp’s quarterly reports for actual repurchase activity and amounts.
