News Corp Reports ASX Disclosures for $1B Stock Repurchase Program

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed a Form 8-K on September 16, 2026, reporting that it has provided information to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in connection with its 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 is required under ASX rules to disclose any repurchase transactions on a daily basis. The 8-K attaches the materials furnished to the ASX (Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2) and reiterates that related statements are forward‑looking and subject to market and other risks.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: daily disclosure of repurchase transactions, which the Company has been providing.
• Filing date and signature: Form 8-K filed September 16, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, SVP, Deputy General Counsel & Corporate Secretary.
• Forward-looking note: Company states repurchases are subject to market conditions, securities laws and other risks, and it does not undertake to update forward-looking statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters Share repurchase programs can reduce shares outstanding and potentially support per-share metrics; regular ASX disclosures increase transparency about actual repurchase activity. This 8-K does not change the authorized size of the program (still $1 billion) or announce specific new buyback amounts beyond the ASX disclosures—investors should review the attached ASX notices and the Company's quarterly/annual reports for details on actual repurchase activity and timing.
