News Corp Discloses Daily ASX Updates for $1B Share Repurchase

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on September 8, 2026, reporting information provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about the company's ongoing stock repurchase program. The company reiterated that it is authorized to buy up to $1 billion in aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and attached the ASX disclosures as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.

Key Details

• The Repurchase Program authorizes repurchases of up to $1 billion in aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Under ASX rules, News Corp must provide daily disclosure of any transactions under the Repurchase Program; the 8-K includes the specific ASX notices (Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2).
• The company also notes it discloses Repurchase Program activity in its periodic (quarterly and annual) SEC filings.
• The ASX notices include forward-looking statements about the company's intent to repurchase shares; News Corp says these are based on current expectations and are subject to market conditions and other risks, and it disclaims any obligation to update them except as required by law.

Why It Matters This filing confirms News Corp's continued authority and intent to buy back up to $1 billion of its stock and explains the required public disclosures (daily ASX reports and periodic SEC reports). For investors, buyback programs can reduce outstanding shares and are a use of corporate cash; this 8-K provides the formal ASX notices and the company's caution about forward-looking statements but does not announce specific purchase amounts or schedules.
