NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened

• News Corporation (NASDAQ: NWSA) filed an 8-K on March 18, 2026 to provide copies of information it submitted to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) concerning its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company is authorized to buy up to $1 billion of its Class A and Class B common stock and discloses Repurchase Program transactions to the ASX on a daily basis. Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached to the filing are the specific ASX disclosure documents provided on the noted dates.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: daily disclosure of any transactions under the Repurchase Program.
• Filing includes Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 (copies of the ASX information provided).
• Filing reiterates forward-looking statement language and disclaims any obligation to update those statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters

• Stock repurchase programs can reduce share count and potentially support earnings per share and share price when executed; this filing confirms the company continues to use and disclose its $1B repurchase authority.
• Daily ASX disclosures increase transparency about actual repurchase activity, but the filing does not report specific buyback amounts or timing — investors should look for the ASX notices or future SEC/quarterly filings for transaction details.
