NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation (News Corp) filed a Form 8-K on June 3, 2026 to report information it provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company is authorized to buy up to $1 billion aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and, under ASX rules, provides daily disclosures of any repurchase transactions. The filing includes Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, which are copies of the ASX notices referenced.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase program size: up to $1 billion in the aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: News Corp must provide daily disclosure to the ASX of transactions under the repurchase program, when transactions occur.
• Exhibits: 99.1 and 99.2 are the ASX notices attached to the 8-K.
• The ASX notices include forward-looking statements; the company said actual repurchases depend on market price, conditions, laws and other factors and it does not undertake to update those statements except as required.

Why It Matters Stock repurchase programs can reduce shares outstanding and support earnings per share if executed; this 8-K is a routine regulatory disclosure showing News Corp is complying with ASX transparency rules for its buyback authorization. The filing does not announce a specific new acceleration or change to the $1 billion authorization — it simply provides the ASX notices and reiterates the conditional nature of future repurchases. Investors should watch subsequent ASX daily reports or company filings for actual transaction details and amounts repurchased.
