News Corporation Discloses ASX Stock Repurchase Activity

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on August 4, 2026 to report information provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about activity under its stock repurchase program. The company is authorized to buy up to $1.0 billion aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock; copies of the ASX disclosures are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2. The filing also includes the company’s standard forward-looking statement caution.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Disclosure frequency: the Company provides daily ASX disclosure of any transactions under the repurchase program.
• Filing date and signature: Form 8-K filed August 4, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, SVP, Deputy General Counsel & Corporate Secretary.
• Exhibits: 99.1 and 99.2 are copies of the information provided to the ASX; the documents contain forward-looking statements and related cautionary language.

Why It Matters Stock repurchases can reduce the number of shares outstanding and potentially support per-share metrics and share price when executed. The daily ASX disclosures increase transparency about repurchase activity for investors. The filing does not commit the company to specific future repurchases—actual buybacks depend on market conditions, legal requirements and management decisions, as noted in the forward‑looking statements.
