News Corporation reported that its share repurchase activity reached about $271.4 million under its 2025 Repurchase Program, out of an authorized $1 billion buyback.

In the latest daily update, the company said it bought back 70,004 securities on the previous day for $1.88 million. That followed a much larger earlier period in which it repurchased 6,989,092 securities for $173.9 million.

The buyback covers the company’s Nasdaq-listed Class A and Class B common stock, not ASX-listed CDIs. News Corp said the program is intended to repurchase stock in the open market or otherwise, with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC acting as broker.

The company’s filing also showed the price range for prior repurchases: the highest price paid was $27.40 a share on 11 May 2026, while the lowest was $22.20 a share on 9 February 2026. Today the company's shares have moved -0.77% to a price of $26.405. For more information, read the company's full 8-K submission here.
