Business context and reporting period
News Corporation filed this Form 8-K on October 6, 2026, regarding information provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on dates identified in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2. The report concerns the Company’s stock repurchase program, not a quarterly or annual financial reporting period.
Repurchase program
The Company is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion in aggregate of its outstanding Class A and Class B common stock. The filing text provided does not state whether shares were repurchased, or provide transaction dates, share counts, prices, or remaining authorization.
Financial performance and material changes
This filing provides no revenue, earnings, cash flow, margin, debt, or liquidity information and does not describe changes versus a prior comparable period.
Outlook, risks, and contingencies
Management’s stated intent to make repurchases from time to time is forward-looking and subject to uncertainty. Factors identified include changes in the Company’s share price, general market conditions, securities laws, alternative investment opportunities, and risks described in other SEC filings. The Company disclaims an obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required by law or regulation.
Key facts to verify
- Review Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 for the ASX-reported transaction details and dates; those exhibit contents are not included in the supplied filing text.
- Verify whether repurchases occurred and the resulting share counts, prices, and remaining balance under the $1 billion authorization.
- Check subsequent Company filings for updates to the program or material changes in repurchase activity.
