News Corporation — Form 8-K Summary
Reporting date: October 13, 2026; the report was signed October 14, 2026. This is an event filing, not a periodic financial report.
Business context and key information
News Corporation reported information provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about its stock repurchase program. The program authorizes purchases of up to $1 billion in aggregate of the Company’s outstanding Class A and Class B common stock. The filing text does not provide financial statements or clear values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity.
Repurchases and changes
The filing says the Company provides the ASX daily disclosure of repurchase transactions, if any, and also reports program information in quarterly and annual reports. The actual ASX disclosures are referenced as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, but their contents are not included in the supplied filing text. Therefore, the number, value, and dates of any purchases—and any change versus a prior period—cannot be determined from this text.
Outlook, risks, and contingencies
Management’s stated intent to repurchase shares from time to time is forward-looking and subject to uncertainty. The Company identifies changes in its share price, general market conditions, securities laws, alternative investment opportunities, and risks described in its other SEC filings as factors that could affect actual repurchases. It disclaims an obligation to update forward-looking statements except as required by law or regulation.
Key facts for investors to verify
- Review Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 for the actual ASX-reported transactions and their dates.
- Confirm cumulative purchases and remaining capacity under the $1 billion authorization.
- Check subsequent quarterly or annual reports for program activity and its effect on share count and liquidity.
