NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on July 13, 2026 to report information provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of its Class A and Class B common stock and has been providing daily ASX disclosure of any transactions under the program. The filing attaches the ASX notices as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and includes the company’s forward‑looking statement disclaimers.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX rules require the Company to disclose, on a daily basis, any transactions under the repurchase program.
• The 8-K includes Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 containing the information provided to the ASX on the dates noted in those exhibits.
• The filing reiterates standard forward‑looking statement language and disclaims any obligation to update those statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters A share repurchase program can reduce outstanding share count and affect per‑share measures such as earnings per share, and frequent ASX disclosures provide transparency about buyback activity. This 8-K is an update about the company’s disclosure process rather than a financial results announcement—investors should review the attached ASX notices and the company’s regular quarterly or annual filings for specific buyback transaction details.
