The company has an authorized share‑repurchase program of up to $1 billion covering both its Class A and Class B shares, with daily transaction disclosures made to the Australian Securities Exchange.

S&P Global Ratings upgraded News Corp’s credit rating from BBB‑ to BBB, keeping a stable outlook and citing low leverage and strong operating momentum.

Morgan Stanley raised its price target for the stock to $35 from $34 and maintained an Overweight rating after fiscal 2026 results beat expectations, helped in part by favorable currency movements.
