News Corp ( (NWSA) ) has shared an update.
News Corp has disclosed to the Australian Securities Exchange that it is conducting a daily-reported buy-back of its Nasdaq-listed Class A common stock under a broader US$1 billion repurchase authorization covering both Class A and Class B shares. The April 9, 2026 ASX filing details an “other” buy-back structure, excludes ASX-listed CDIs from repurchase, and cites enhancing shareholder value as the rationale, signalling continued capital-management efforts that may support earnings per share and shareholder returns.
The 2025 Repurchase Program allows News Corp to buy back stock in the open market or otherwise, with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC acting as broker and purchases funded in U.S. dollars. The company notes that the scale and timing of repurchases remain subject to market conditions, share price and regulatory factors, and confirms that no additional shareholder approval or special conditions are required for the program to proceed.
The most recent analyst rating on (NWSA) stock is a Buy with a $27.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on News Corp stock, see the NWSA Stock Forecast page.
Spark’s Take on NWSA Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, NWSA is a Neutral.
The score is driven primarily by improved fundamentals (stronger margins and improving leverage) and a constructive earnings-call outlook highlighting free-cash-flow growth and accelerated buybacks. These positives are tempered by a higher P/E with a low dividend yield and only neutral-to-weak technicals (below longer-term moving averages).
