Lachlan K. Murdoch has demonstrated a clear selling bias in recent transactions, particularly in shares of Fox Corporation (FOX), according to SEC Form 4 filings. Between March 11 and March 13, 2026, Murdoch executed multiple large sales of FOX stock totaling approximately $75.6 million, including a single transaction worth $17 million on March 13. These disposals were accompanied by smaller sales in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, as well as multiple acquisitions of shares through derivative transactions (coded "M") totaling over $36.7 million during the same period. The activity suggests a rebalancing of holdings rather than a complete divestment, with Murdoch maintaining significant exposure to FOX.
Murdoch's trading in News Corp (NWS) has been comparatively minimal, with only minor acquisitions and dispositions recorded in early 2026 and late 2025, none exceeding $62,000 in value. The lack of substantial activity in NWS contrasts sharply with the concentrated selling in FOX, where Murdoch has been far more active. While the filings do not indicate any purchases of FOX shares outright in recent months, the derivative transactions suggest continued exposure through other financial instruments. The overall pattern reflects a strategic reduction in direct equity holdings while maintaining positions through alternative means.
