News Corporation Shs B Chess Depository Interests repr 1 Sh ( (AU:NWS) ) has provided an announcement.

News Corporation has lodged a daily buy-back notification with the ASX confirming that its previously authorised share repurchase initiatives remain in effect for its Nasdaq-listed Class A and Class B common stock, but that no ASX-listed CHESS Depositary Interests will be acquired under these programs. The company is authorised to repurchase up to US$1 billion of stock under its 2021 program and a further US$1 billion under its 2025 program, with purchases to be made from time to time in the open market or otherwise, subject to market conditions and stock price; this capital management strategy is likely to support earnings per share and signal confidence in the company’s valuation, though it will not directly reduce the free float of its ASX-listed CDIs.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:NWS) stock is a Hold with a A$47.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on News Corporation Shs B Chess Depository Interests repr 1 Sh stock, see the AU:NWS Stock Forecast page.
