NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on July 14, 2026, to report information provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) relating to the Company's ongoing stock repurchase program. The Company is authorized to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and provides daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the program. The 8-K attaches the ASX notices as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and includes the Company’s standard forward‑looking statements disclaimer.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Regulatory disclosure: Company required to provide daily ASX disclosure of any repurchase transactions.
• Filing date and signatory: Form 8-K filed July 14, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.
• Exhibits: Attached ASX notices are filed as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 (contain forward‑looking statements).

Why It Matters A $1 billion repurchase authorization gives News Corp flexibility to buy back shares, which can reduce outstanding share count and potentially support per‑share metrics. The 8-K does not announce specific repurchase amounts or timing—only that daily transaction disclosures are provided to the ASX and that the Company may repurchase shares "from time to time." Investors should monitor the ASX notices (and future quarterly/annual filings) for actual buyback activity, which could affect supply/demand and per‑share earnings measures.
