Warner Bros. Discovery Series A Stock (NASDAQ: WBD) on Dec. 16, 2025: Takeover Battle, Latest News, Analyst Forecasts, and What Comes Next

NEW YORK — Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Series A shares (NASDAQ: WBD) are trading like a merger-arbitrage ticker rather than a traditional media stock on Tuesday, Dec. 16, 2025, with the price effectively “pinned” near $30 as investors handicap two competing endgames: Paramount Skydance’s $30-per-share all-cash tender offer versus Netflix’s prior agreement to acquire key WBD assets at a $27.75 per-share implied value. Netflix+1 As of the latest available quote Tuesday, WBD traded around $29.25, down modestly on the day, after touching an intraday high near $29.69. That sub-$30 trading level is the market’s way of pricing in a central

Netflix (NFLX) Stock News, Forecasts and Analyst Takes for December 16, 2025: Warner Bros. Deal Drama, EU Antitrust Signals, and What’s Next

Netflix, Inc. stock is back in the spotlight on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, as investors weigh two competing realities: a business that still dominates global streaming—and a deal fight that could redefine Hollywood (or collapse under regulatory pressure). As of 15:02 UTC on Dec. 16, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) traded at $93.93, up 0.17% on the session. That modest move comes on a day when broader markets were described as under pressure after fresh U.S. labor data surprises. Barron’s+1 For Netflix, however, the bigger catalyst remains the company’s pending bid for Warner Bros. assets—now challenged by a hostile rival offer from

Kellanova Stock (K) Update on Dec. 16, 2025: Mars Deal Closed, Shares Cashed Out at $83.50, and What Investors Watch Next

As of December 16, 2025, Kellanova stock is no longer a typical “stock story” — because the equity’s public-market chapter has effectively ended. Mars has completed its acquisition of Kellanova, and each eligible share was converted into the right to receive $83.50 in cash, with trading halted and delisting actions underway. SEC+1 That doesn’t mean investor interest disappears overnight. It just shifts: from “Will K stock go up?” to “When do shareholders receive cash, what happens to the ticker and filings, and where does snack-sector exposure go now that Kellanova is private?” Here’s the full, up-to-date picture using the latest

Warner Bros. Discovery Stock (WBD) Today: Takeover Bidding War Keeps Shares Pinned Near $30 as Deadlines and Regulators Loom

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ: WBD) stock is trading less like a traditional media equity and more like a real-time referendum on deal odds. In the latest available quote on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, WBD traded around $29.71, essentially parked just below the headline $30-per-share cash price investors have been fixating on. That “stuck to the offer” behavior makes sense: WBD is at the center of a high-stakes takeover fight, with Netflix defending its proposed transaction while Paramount Skydance presses a hostile tender offer directly to shareholders. The result is an event-driven stock where catalysts are measured in legal filings,

ServiceNow (NOW) Stock: Armis Deal Rumors Trigger Sharp Selloff as Analysts Split Ahead of 5-for-1 Stock Split

Dec. 16, 2025 — ServiceNow, Inc. (NYSE: NOW) is having a very “2025 tech stock” moment: big strategic ambition, big market reaction, and Wall Street arguing in public. Shares of the enterprise workflow software leader closed at about $765.20 after sliding roughly 11.5% in the latest session, one of the stock’s steepest single-day drops in months.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Stock Today, Dec. 15, 2025: Netflix Deal Stands Firm as Paramount’s Hostile Bid Keeps Shares Near $30

Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Series A common stock (NASDAQ: WBD) is trading in a rare kind of market—one where headlines are the primary catalyst and traditional valuation models temporarily take a back seat. As of Monday, December 15, 2025, WBD shares are hovering around $29.76, after trading between roughly $29.53 and $30.00 intraday. That price level is meaningful: it sits above Netflix’s agreed $27.75-per-share deal value (signaling investors are pricing in a better outcome than Netflix’s current terms), yet just below the $30 all-cash figure tied to Paramount Skydance’s hostile push (reflecting the market’s discount for risk, timing, and regulatory
