NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed a Form 8-K on July 8, 2026 to report that it has provided information to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) regarding transactions, if any, under its existing stock repurchase program. The company’s repurchase program authorizes repurchases of up to $1 billion of outstanding Class A and Class B common stock, and the attached Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 are the ASX disclosures provided on the respective dates. The disclosures include customary forward-looking statements about potential future repurchases.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1 billion (aggregate) of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: the company provides daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the repurchase program.
• Exhibits: 99.1 and 99.2 are the copies of information given to the ASX on the dates noted; 104 is the Inline XBRL cover page.
• Filing date and signature: Form 8-K filed July 8, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel & Corporate Secretary.

Why It Matters This filing is an update on disclosure practices for an existing buyback program rather than a new authorization. Share repurchases can reduce outstanding share count and potentially support per-share metrics and market price; the ASX daily disclosures increase transparency about actual repurchase activity. Investors tracking buyback activity should review the referenced ASX notices and the company's subsequent quarterly/annual reports for details on actual repurchases and timing.
