This is a routine progress update, not a new capital-allocation decision. The filing is a required daily notification for News Corp’s already-authorized 2025 Repurchase Program, which permits up to $1 billion of Class A and Class B repurchases. 〔0〕
| Metric | Class A | Class B | Total / program |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shares bought on September 9, 2026 | 58,482 | 25,457 | 83,939 |
| Consideration paid on September 9, 2026 | $1.73M | $0.84M | $2.57M |
| Cumulative consideration paid | — | — | $468.46M |
| Authorization | — | — | $1.00B |
| Authorization remaining | — | — | Approximately $531.54M |
The program is nearly halfway deployed. Cumulative purchases reached approximately $468.5 million, or about 46.8% of the authorization, leaving roughly $531.5 million available. 〔1〕
The filing does not indicate acceleration, expansion, or a change in strategy. It reports one day of modest additional buying—83,939 shares for approximately $2.57 million—while reiterating that future purchases remain subject to market conditions and other factors. That makes the event neutral versus expectations: the market already knew the buyback was active, and this filing simply records another day of execution.
