This is a routine progress update, not a new capital-return decision. The filing describes the existing 2025 Repurchase Program, authorized for up to $1 billion, rather than announcing a larger authorization or a change in strategy. (Buy-back description) 〔0〕
| Measure | Filing figure |
|---|---|
| Shares repurchased on September 3, 2026 | 54,641 |
| Consideration paid on September 3, 2026 | US$1.69 million |
| Cumulative consideration under program | Approximately US$460.83 million |
| Remaining authorization | Approximately US$539.17 million |
| Shares outstanding in Class A | 360,199,332 |
The company continues executing meaningfully against the authorization. News Corp bought 54,641 shares for US$1.69 million on September 3, 2026, at prices between US$30.68 and US$31.06. (Daily buy-back activity) 〔1〕
The headline signal is neutral versus expectations because the activity was already anticipated. Cumulative purchases have reached approximately US$460.8 million, or about 46% of the authorization, so the update confirms continued execution but does not materially change the standing picture. (Daily buy-back notification) 〔2〕
The filing also clarifies that the repurchases apply to Nasdaq-listed shares, not ASX-listed CDIs. (Buy-back description) 〔3〕
