Summary
News Corp disclosed routine daily stock repurchase activity under its $1 billion buyback program authorized in July 2025. On August 11, 2026, the company bought back 62,323 Class A shares for $1.78 million and 27,128 Class B shares for $886,350, totaling $2.66 million.
The purchases were executed at prices ranging from $28.39 to $33.50 per share, near the upper end of the program's historical range since inception ($22.20 to $30.79). Cumulative program spend now stands at approximately $418 million, leaving roughly $582 million in remaining capacity. The filing is a procedural ASX compliance disclosure required for daily buyback activity.
The repurchase pace and pricing are consistent with ongoing capital allocation under the program. For retail holders, the buyback represents incremental share count reduction and capital return, though the daily amounts are immaterial relative to the company's market capitalization. The program's steady execution and remaining capacity suggest management continues to view the stock as an attractive use of capital at current levels.
