Insights
News Corp continues executing a sizeable US$1B share repurchase, with detailed ASX buy-back disclosures.
News Corporation is actively using its authorized US$1 billion share repurchase program for its Nasdaq-listed Class A and Class B common stock. The filing highlights that no ASX-listed CDIs will be repurchased and that buy-backs are conducted on-market via Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC.
The ASX Appendix 3C data show meaningful buy-back activity, with millions of shares already repurchased across both classes at stated price ranges. This reduces shares outstanding over time, but the filing does not quantify the impact relative to the total authorization or overall capital structure.
The company emphasizes that future repurchases under the 2025 Repurchase Program are subject to market conditions, stock price, applicable laws and alternative investment opportunities. These qualifiers, and the forward-looking statement language, mean actual future buy-back levels may vary and will depend on management decisions and external conditions.

stock repurchase program financial
"under News Corporation's stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"), the Company is authorized"
A stock repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the market. This can make each remaining share more valuable and shows that the company believes its stock is a good investment. It’s like a business treating its shares like a limited resource, hoping to boost confidence and share prices.
