News Corp buyback update shows $562.9M of $1B deployed

Buyback update — $562.9M spent; ~$437.1M remaining

News Corp’s buyback update shows $562.9 million spent of the authorized $1 billion program, with no change to the broader capital-return plan.

News Corp is executing a broader shift toward digital information, real-estate services and subscription-led businesses: fiscal 2026 revenue rose 7%, Total Segment EBITDA rose 15%, and operating cash flow rose 26%, led by Dow Jones, Digital Real Estate Services and Book Publishing.

This filing confirms ongoing capital return, not a new strategic decision. News Corp reports that it has spent approximately $562.9 million of the $1 billion 2025 Repurchase Program, leaving roughly $437.1 million available. 〔0〕

FigureAs of Oct. 30, 2026Program authorization
Shares repurchased (Daily buy-back notification)25,457—
Consideration paid (Daily buy-back notification)$818,371.27—
Cumulative consideration (Daily buy-back notification)$562.9M$1.0B
Remaining authorization (Daily buy-back notification)~$437.1M—

The business story is essentially unchanged. The company is continuing an already-authorized program, buying shares in the open market at prices that were not predetermined. 〔1〕 There is no new authorization, acceleration commitment, change in funding strategy or operational update here.

Bottom line: This is a routine progress report on a known buyback, not a fresh catalyst for News Corp’s underlying business story. The only meaningful update is that more than half of the authorization has now been deployed.
