News Corp Announces ASX Disclosures for $1B Stock Repurchase Program

What Happened
News Corporation (News Corp) filed an 8-K on June 26, 2026 to report “Other Events” tied to its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company remains authorized to repurchase up to $1.0 billion aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock, and under Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) rules is required to provide daily disclosure of any transactions under the program. Copies of the information provided to the ASX on the noted dates are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.

Key Details

  • Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
  • Filing date: June 26, 2026 (Form 8-K, Item 8.01 Other Events).
  • ASX requirement: News Corp must disclose, on a daily basis, any transactions executed under the repurchase program.
  • Exhibits: 99.1 and 99.2 are the specific ASX disclosure documents provided on the referenced dates; filings include standard forward‑looking statements and related disclaimers.

Why It Matters
This filing is a routine disclosure that confirms News Corp’s ongoing authority and reporting around its $1 billion buyback program and provides transparency to investors—especially those following ASX notices. Repurchase programs can reduce share count or signal management confidence, but this 8-K does not itself announce specific new purchases or volumes. Investors should monitor the attached ASX notices and future quarterly/annual reports for details on actual repurchase activity.
