News Corporation has an authorized 2025 Repurchase Program of up to US$1 billion for its Nasdaq-listed Class A and Class B common stock. The disclosures show substantial execution, with hundreds of millions of dollars already spent buying back shares through Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC as broker.
For one share class, the company has repurchased 7,967,134 securities for US$199,881,734.57, and for another class 3,779,533 securities for US$107,925,649.18. Daily activity on June 16, 2026 totals 76,679 and 38,321 shares for about US$1.97 million and US$1.12 million, respectively.
The filing emphasizes that further repurchases are subject to market conditions, stock price, applicable laws and alternative investments, and includes standard forward‑looking statement cautions. Future company filings and ASX notifications will indicate how much of the remaining authorization is ultimately used.

Repurchase Program financial
"under News Corporation's stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"), the Company is authorized to acquire"
A repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the open market. This reduces the total number of shares available, which can increase the value of each remaining share and signal confidence in the company's future. For investors, it often suggests that the company believes its stock is undervalued and can be a sign of financial strength.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"Such information contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995."
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

"the Company is required to provide to the ASX, on a daily basis, disclosure of transactions"
Australian Securities Exchange is Australia’s main marketplace where stocks, bonds, ETFs and other tradable financial instruments are bought and sold. Think of it as a large, regulated marketplace that shows current prices, matches buyers and sellers, and enforces rules to keep trading fair and orderly—information and liquidity from the exchange directly affect how easy it is to trade an investment and how its market price is determined.
