The latest announcement is out from News Corp ( (NWSA) ).
On January 22, 2026, News Corporation filed a final daily buy-back notification with the Australian Securities Exchange outlining the operation of its existing stock repurchase framework covering Nasdaq-listed Class A and Class B common shares. The company detailed that a US$1 billion repurchase program authorized on September 21, 2021, was supplemented by an additional US$1 billion authorization as of July 15, 2025, allowing News Corp to buy back up to US$2 billion of stock in total, paid in U.S. dollars and executed in the open market or otherwise, with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC acting as broker. The buy-back, which does not extend to ASX-listed CDIs and does not require shareholder approval or impose foreign participation restrictions, is framed as a capital management measure intended to enhance shareholder value, with the scale of repurchases influenced by market conditions, stock price and other factors, potentially affecting News Corp’s share count and capital structure over time.
The most recent analyst rating on (NWSA) stock is a Buy with a $28.00 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 solid underlying financial quality (strong margins, healthy ROE, and manageable leverage) and a constructive earnings call emphasizing growth in key digital segments and accelerated buybacks. These positives are tempered by weak technical positioning (below major moving averages with soft momentum) and a demanding valuation (P/E 32.69 with a low ~0.77% dividend yield).
