NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation filed an 8-K on July 7, 2026 to provide disclosure about its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company reiterated that it is authorized to buy up to $1 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and attached copies of the information it provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2. The filing includes the company’s forward-looking statements disclaimer.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: the Company must provide daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the Repurchase Program.
• Reporting: information about the program is also disclosed in the Company’s quarterly and annual reports.
• Filing date and signature: Form 8-K filed July 7, 2026, signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Why It Matters Share repurchase programs can reduce outstanding shares and support shareholder value when executed, and daily ASX disclosures increase transparency about any repurchase activity. This 8-K confirms the program’s authorization and the company’s disclosure practices but does not itself report specific repurchase trades or amounts—investors should review the ASX reports or subsequent SEC filings for details on actual buybacks. The filing also reminds investors that repurchase activity is subject to market conditions, securities laws and other factors described in News Corporation’s filings.
