NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened
On March 9, 2026, News Corporation (News Corp, NWSA) filed a Form 8-K (Item 8.01) to provide copies of information it supplied to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) regarding its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company reiterated that it is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of its Class A and Class B common stock and attached the ASX disclosure documents as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Filing date: March 9, 2026 (Form 8-K, Item 8.01).
• Regulatory requirement: ASX rules require News Corp to disclose repurchase transactions to the ASX on a daily basis, when applicable.
• Attachments: copies of the ASX disclosures provided on the dates noted in Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2; those disclosures include forward‑looking statements about the company’s intent to repurchase shares.

Why It Matters
A $1 billion repurchase authorization gives News Corp the flexibility to buy back shares, which can affect share count and support per‑share metrics if purchases occur. The 8-K does not itself announce specific repurchase transactions but confirms the company’s ongoing disclosure process to the ASX and reiterates that any repurchase activity is subject to market conditions and other risks. Investors should monitor the ASX daily notices and News Corp’s quarterly/annual reports for any actual repurchase activity and amounts.
