News Corp (NWSA) Updates $1B Stock Repurchase Program

What Happened

  • News Corporation (filed March 13, 2026) announced information provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in connection with its ongoing stock repurchase program. The Company is authorized to repurchase up to $1.0 billion aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock. Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached to the 8-K are the ASX disclosures referenced.

Key Details

  • Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1 billion in the aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
  • ASX requirement: Company must disclose transactions under the repurchase program to the ASX on a daily basis (if any).
  • Filing date and signature: 8-K filed March 13, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel & Corporate Secretary.
  • The attached ASX disclosures contain forward-looking statements and include the Company’s intent to repurchase shares from time to time.

Why It Matters

  • A $1 billion repurchase program can reduce shares outstanding and potentially increase earnings per share and shareholder value if executed, so investors track its progress.
  • This 8-K is primarily a compliance update (daily ASX reporting and disclosure attachments); it does not itself state specific repurchase transactions or amounts purchased. Investors should review the attached ASX notices (Exhibits 99.1/99.2) and future filings for details on actual buybacks and timing.
