$1B buyback — $570.4M of $1B authorization used; ~$429.6M remains
News Corp’s buyback update shows $785,000 of additional purchases and roughly $430 million still available under its existing $1 billion authorization.
News Corp is already in a capital-return phase around a business led by Dow Jones, digital real estate and book publishing. Its latest full-year results showed revenue up 7% and Total Segment EBITDA up 15%, so this filing is about distributing excess capital—not funding a new operating pivot.
| Nov. 4, 2026 | Buyback authorization | Remaining | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shares repurchased (Class B) (Daily buy-back notification) | 23,784 | ||
| Consideration paid (Daily buy-back notification) | $784,940.97 | ||
| Program value (Buy-back description) | $1.0B | ||
| Cumulative purchases (Remaining authorization) | $570.4M | ~$429.6M |
This is a routine progress report, not a new capital-allocation decision. News Corp bought 23,784 Class B shares for $784,940.97 on November 4, while the existing program allows up to $1 billion of purchases. 〔0〕
The only incremental signal is continued execution against the authorization. Cumulative purchases have reached approximately $570.4 million, leaving roughly $429.6 million available by simple subtraction; the filing does not expand the program, change its terms, or introduce a new commitment. 〔1〕
Bottom line: News Corp is steadily returning capital, but this daily notice barely changes the existing story. It confirms ongoing buyback activity rather than delivering a new business or capital-allocation surprise.
