News Corp stock (ISIN US65249B1098) traded at USD 29.70 on Nasdaq on September 21, 2026, while the company had deployed USD 488.5 million under its USD 1 billion repurchase program. The latest reported quarter also delivered revenue of USD 2.34 billion and earnings per share of USD 0.33.

Buyback reaches USD 488.5 million

According to TradingView on September 22, 2026, News Corp had purchased about USD 488.5 million of shares under the USD 1 billion program. The company also bought 58,482 shares on September 21 for total consideration of USD 318,208,466.94 under the disclosed repurchase activity.

The scale matters because the completed purchases represent 48.85 percent of the authorized program. That gives the buyback a measurable role in the stock story, although the program does not by itself establish the future direction of earnings or the share price.

Revenue rises 10.81 percent

For the quarter ended June 30, 2026, News Corp reported revenue of USD 2.34 billion, up 10.81 percent from USD 2.11 billion in the year-earlier quarter, according to IT Boltwise on September 22, 2026. The comparison supplies the clearest operating measure behind the current valuation discussion.

Quarterly earnings per share increased to USD 0.33 from USD 0.05 in the same period a year earlier, a rise of USD 0.28 per share. The earnings comparison is sharper than the revenue change and shows why the latest quarter is central to the stock narrative.
