Netflix stock slips in premarket as Warner bid fight drags on to Feb. 20
Netflix shares fell 2.2% to $85.36 in premarket trading Thursday after Paramount extended its Warner Bros Discovery tender offer deadline to Feb. 20. The move prolongs a costly takeover fight as Netflix pursues an $82.7 billion all-cash bid for Warner assets. EU and U.S. regulators are expected to scrutinize both bids. Netflix paused share buybacks and secured new financing to support its offer.
