News Corp buyback reaches $560M as media cash returns continue

$1B buyback — $560.3M spent of $1.0B authorization

News Corp’s buyback has now used about $560 million of its $1 billion authorization. The daily filing confirms continued repurchases, not a new capital-allocation move.

News Corp is in the middle of a profitable shift toward recurring, digital information and real-estate services, with Dow Jones, Digital Real Estate Services and Book Publishing driving growth; fiscal 2026 ended with record revenue and profitability, while operating cash flow reached $1.24 billion.

This is continued execution, not a new decision. The filing reports that News Corp has spent approximately $560.3 million under its already-authorized $1 billion 2025 Repurchase Program, leaving roughly $439.7 million of capacity. 〔0〕

Measure29 Oct 2026Cumulative / authorization
Shares repurchased (Buy-back notification)25,4576,392,773
Consideration paid (Buy-back notification)$820,614$191.1M
Repurchase authorization (Buy-back description)$1.0B
Amount used (Buy-back notification)$560.3M
Estimated remaining capacity$439.7M

The business impact is modest but directionally supportive. Returning cash is consistent with News Corp’s recent capital-allocation posture: its fiscal 2026 results highlighted an accelerated buyback alongside stronger cash generation. But the authorization was established previously, the repurchases are discretionary and market-dependent, and the filing introduces no larger program, new terms or change in strategy. 〔1〕

The ASX notice does not expand the eligible securities. News Corp says the program covers Nasdaq-listed Class A and Class B shares, not ASX-listed CDIs. 〔2〕

Bottom line: This confirms that News Corp is steadily deploying cash through a previously known buyback, but it does not materially change the company’s operating or capital-allocation story today.
