Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Stock After Hours on Dec. 24, 2025: Latest Price, Netflix vs. Paramount Bids, and What to Know Before the Next Market Open (Dec. 26)

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Series A (Nasdaq: WBD) ended a holiday-shortened Christmas Eve session with investors focused far less on day-to-day fundamentals—and far more on the escalating, deal-driven battle that could determine what WBD “is worth” in 2026. WBD stock after the bell today (24.12.2025): where it closed and how it traded after hours Because U.S. exchanges closed early at 1:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2025, the “closing bell” came sooner than usual.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Series A Stock: Latest News, Deal Battle Updates, and Wall Street Forecasts on Dec. 24, 2025

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Series A Common Stock (NASDAQ: WBD) is ending 2025 as one of the most deal-driven names in U.S. media—caught between a signed Netflix agreement and an aggressive, sweetened hostile bid from Paramount Skydance. On December 24, 2025, WBD shares traded around $29.18, positioning the stock neatly between Netflix’s $27.75 per share cash-and-stock structure (plus a planned networks spin-off) and Paramount Skydance’s $30.00 per share all-cash tender offer for the entire company. Reuters+1 That “in-the-middle” price is the market’s way of saying: this is no longer just a fundamentals story. It’s a high-stakes, multi-path outcome story—one where

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Stock Today: Takeover Bids, Netflix Deal Financing, and What Wall Street Forecasts on Dec. 24, 2025

December 24, 2025 — Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBD) is trading in takeover territory on Christmas Eve, with the stock hovering around $29 and repeatedly pulled toward the headline $30-per-share hostile bid from Paramount Skydance. As of the latest available pricing, WBD shares were near $29.14, effectively pricing in a live merger-arbitrage chess match: the market is treating the Paramount offer as a real (but not guaranteed) anchor, while also respecting the signed Netflix agreement and the regulatory, timing, and litigation risks still hanging over both paths. That tension is the story of WBD stock right now. The company’s

Warner Bros. Discovery Stock (WBD) Today: Paramount’s $30 Bid vs. Netflix Deal, Fresh Deal Updates, and Analyst Forecasts (Dec. 23, 2025)

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBD) stock is trading like a company caught in the gravitational field of two giants—because it is. Shares hovered around $28.89 in Tuesday trading (Dec. 23, 2025) as investors weighed a strengthened hostile bid from Paramount Skydance against Warner Bros. Discovery’s board-backed agreement with Netflix. Reuters At the center of today’s move is a simple question with very not-simple implications: Which deal—if any—actually closes? That uncertainty is what’s setting the tone for WBD stock right now, and it’s also why traditional “fundamentals-first” stock narratives have taken a back seat to merger math, financing certainty, and

Warner Bros. Discovery Stock (WBD) Surges Into a Deal-Driven Crossroads: Netflix Merger, Paramount’s Ellison-Backed Bid, and Wall Street Forecasts (Dec. 23, 2025)

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBD) is trading less like a traditional media stock and more like a live, headline-powered referendum on which future it gets: a Netflix tie-up for its crown-jewel entertainment assets, or a full-company buyout pitched by Paramount Skydance—now reinforced by a massive personal guarantee from Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison. As of Tuesday, Dec. 23, WBD shares were around $28.75. That price matters, because it sits in the gravitational pull of two competing proposals—and it reflects how investors are weighing a higher nominal offer against deal certainty, timing, break fees, and regulatory risk.

Paramount Skydance Corporation stock (NASDAQ: PSKY) is back in the spotlight on December 23, 2025, after the company sharpened the financing behind its high-profile attempt to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD)—and as major shareholders and analysts weigh whether the sweetened terms are enough to change the outcome of one of Hollywood’s most consequential deal fights. The short version: PSKY hasn’t raised its headline $30-per-share cash offer for WBD, but it strengthened the credibility of its funding with an “irrevocable personal guarantee” of $40.4 billion from Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, increased its regulatory reverse termination fee, and extended the tender

fuboTV Inc. (FUBO) Stock News Today: Disney-Hulu Integration, NBCUniversal Blackout Fallout, and Analyst Price Targets on December 22, 2025

fuboTV Inc. (NYSE: FUBO) heads into the final stretch of 2025 as a very different company than it was a year ago—and the stock is trading like it. As of December 22, 2025, FUBO shares were around $2.71 (latest trade time shown: 11:42 UTC), reflecting a small rebound after a rocky late-November to mid-December stretch that’s been dominated by a high-stakes distribution fight with NBCUniversal and the messy reality of operating a “new” pay-TV giant under Disney’s controlling ownership. What’s making FUBO particularly interesting (and, yes, particularly chaotic) is that investors are trying to price three storylines at once: Below
