NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8‑K on January 23, 2026 reporting on its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company is authorized to buy back up to $1 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and provided copies of the daily disclosures it submitted to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2. The filing reiterates standard forward‑looking statement cautions and notes the company does not undertake to update those statements except as required by law.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: Company must disclose repurchase transactions to the ASX on a daily basis; copies of those disclosures were attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.
• Filing date and signatory: Form 8‑K filed January 23, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder (SVP, Deputy General Counsel & Corporate Secretary).
• Forward‑looking statements: The ASX disclosures contain forward‑looking statements subject to market and regulatory risks; no public update obligation is assumed beyond legal requirements.

Why It Matters This filing confirms News Corporation retains an active authorization to repurchase up to $1 billion of its stock and provides transparency via ASX daily disclosures. For investors, an active buyback program can support the share price and reduce outstanding shares over time, but this 8‑K does not itself specify the amount or timing of any repurchases — those details would appear in the ASX notices or future periodic reports.
