NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on May 14, 2026 (Item 8.01) to report information it provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) relating to its ongoing stock 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 has been providing daily ASX disclosure of any transactions under that program. Copies of the ASX disclosures for the dates noted are attached to the filing as exhibits.

Key Details

• The Repurchase Program authorization: up to $1.0 billion aggregate for Class A and Class B common stock.
• The ASX requires daily disclosure of any transactions made under the program; News Corp provided such information and filed copies as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2.
• Filing date and signature: 8-K dated May 14, 2026, signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.
• The ASX disclosures contain forward-looking statements about the company’s intent to repurchase shares; News Corp disclaims any obligation to update those statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters This filing confirms News Corp is operating under an authorized $1 billion buyback program and is complying with ASX transparency rules by reporting transactions. For investors, buyback programs can reduce share count and potentially support earnings per share and share price, but actual repurchases depend on market conditions and legal requirements. The filing is informational—no new funding, change in authorization, or guaranteed repurchase amounts were announced.
