News Corporation Files 8-K Disclosing Stock Repurchases to ASX

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed a Form 8-K on September 30, 2026, reporting updates related to its ongoing stock repurchase program. The filing attaches copies of information the company provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) (Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2) and reiterates that the company is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion in aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock. The report was signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: the company provides daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the repurchase program.
• Filings attached: Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 contain the actual information provided to the ASX on the dates shown.
• Forward-looking statements: the documents include forward-looking language and the company disclaims any obligation to update those statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters This filing confirms News Corp’s active buyback authority and routine reporting of any purchases to the ASX. For investors, an authorized buyback program can reduce outstanding share count and potentially support per-share metrics, but this 8-K does not announce a specific new tranche, timing, or dollar amount of repurchases—only the disclosures provided to the ASX and the program cap. Shareholders should monitor the ASX notices and the company’s quarterly/annual reports for actual repurchase activity and timing.
