News Corporation Discloses Stock Repurchase Activity to ASX

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8‑K on September 21, 2026 reporting information it provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in connection with its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company reiterated that it is authorized to repurchase, from time to time, up to $1 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and that ASX rules require daily disclosure of any transactions under the program.

Key Details

• The Repurchase Program authorization: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.

Why It Matters This filing confirms News Corporation’s active stock repurchase authority and its ongoing compliance with ASX disclosure rules.

The filing also reminds investors that statements about future repurchases are forward‑looking and subject to change based on market conditions and other factors.
