Summary
News Corp filed routine daily buyback disclosure with the Australian Securities Exchange, reporting the repurchase of 89,451 shares (62,323 Class A and 27,128 Class B) on August 10, 2026, for total consideration of $2.65 million. The company has now spent approximately $415 million of its $1 billion authorization under the 2025 Repurchase Program, leaving $585 million in remaining capacity. Class A shares were acquired at $28.20–$28.62 and Class B shares at $32.23–$32.67 on the purchase date.
The filing is procedural, reflecting ASX rules that require daily reporting of buyback transactions. The repurchase pace and pricing fall within the program's normal execution parameters, with no indication of accelerated activity or strategic shift. Retail holders should view this as ongoing capital allocation under the existing authorization, with the program roughly 42% complete by dollar value.
