NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened
News Corporation (News Corp) filed an 8‑K on July 6, 2026 (signed by Michael L. Bunder) reporting disclosures made to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the company’s existing stock repurchase program. The company is authorized to buy up to $1 billion of its Class A and Class B common stock and provided copies of the ASX information as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2. The filing also includes standard forward‑looking statements about potential repurchases and related risks.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase program size: up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate.
• Shares eligible: Class A common stock and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: News Corp must disclose transactions under the repurchase program to the ASX on a daily basis (if any).
• Exhibits: Copies of the information provided to the ASX are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2; filing dated July 6, 2026.
• Forward‑looking statements: Management’s intent to repurchase is subject to market price, market conditions, laws and other risks; the company disclaims any obligation to update these statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters
This filing reaffirms News Corp’s ongoing $1 billion buyback authorization and the company’s compliance with ASX disclosure rules. Share repurchases can reduce shares outstanding and potentially support earnings per share, but this 8‑K does not itself announce specific new purchases — it provides routine disclosure and cautionary language about future repurchases. Investors seeking transaction-level detail should review the attached ASX notices (Exhibits 99.1 / 99.2) and the company’s regular SEC filings for updates.
