NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened

• News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on January 20, 2026, providing copies of information it supplied to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about its ongoing stock repurchase programs.
• The Company is authorized under its repurchase programs to buy up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of its outstanding Class A and Class B common stock. The filing includes Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, which are the ASX disclosures on the dates noted in those exhibits.
• The 8-K reiterates that these communications contain forward-looking statements about the Company’s intent to repurchase shares and disclaims any obligation to update those statements except as required by law.

Key Details

• Authorized buyback amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: Company must provide daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the repurchase programs.
• Filings attached: Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 (copies of information provided to the ASX).
• Filing/signature: 8-K dated January 20, 2026, signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel & Corporate Secretary.

Why It Matters

• Share repurchases can reduce share count and potentially support per-share metrics (e.g., EPS), so the authorization and ongoing disclosures are relevant to investors tracking capital allocation.
• The filing does not disclose the specific amount or timing of any repurchases here—only the program authorization and required ASX reporting—so investors should watch the daily ASX reports and the Company’s quarterly/annual reports for actual repurchase activity.
