What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on January 22, 2026, reporting disclosures provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about the company's ongoing stock repurchase programs. The company is authorized to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common shares and provides daily ASX transaction disclosures when repurchases occur.

Key Details

• Filing date: January 22, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Why It Matters Stock repurchase programs (buybacks) can reduce share count and potentially support per-share metrics if and when repurchases occur. This filing does not announce new authorization or specific repurchase amounts executed on any date; it discloses the company’s routine ASX communications and reiterates that any repurchase activity is subject to market conditions, applicable laws and other risks described in News Corp’s SEC filings. Investors tracking share count, buyback execution, or capital allocation should monitor the ASX disclosures and future quarterly reports for details on actual repurchases.
