Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Series A Stock Today: Paramount’s $30 Bid Gets Larry Ellison Backstop as Netflix Deal Enters Crunch Time

December 23, 2025 — Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. Series A common stock (NASDAQ: WBD) traded around $28.98 in U.S. trading on Tuesday, hovering between two competing takeover paths: Netflix’s agreed cash-and-stock combination for WBD’s studios and streaming assets, and Paramount Skydance’s hostile all-cash tender offer for the whole company. The latest catalyst hit late Monday and spilled into Tuesday’s market: Paramount Skydance amended its $30-per-share offer, adding a high-profile financing enhancement—an “irrevocable personal guarantee” from Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison covering $40.4 billion of equity financing—while keeping the headline price unchanged.

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

AI Stocks Today (22.12.2025): Nvidia’s China Chip Pivot, Micron’s AI Memory Boom, Broadcom Margin Jitters, and Oracle’s TikTok Surprise

Monday, 22 December 2025 (22.12.2025) opens the holiday-shortened trading week with AI stocks back in the driver’s seat—but with the kind of “two steps forward, one geopolitical step sideways” energy that has defined much of 2025’s tech tape. Over the past few sessions, investors have rotated back into the AI trade after a bout of valuation angst, helped by a tech rebound and renewed confidence that enterprise and hyperscaler AI spending isn’t evaporating—it’s just getting more selective. Global markets reflected that shift: Asian shares climbed on the back of tech-led gains, while U.S. futures nudged higher early Monday as traders

Data Center Stocks Week Ahead (Dec. 22–26, 2025): AI Mega-Deals, Power Bottlenecks, and Export-Control Risk in Focus

Updated: Sunday, December 21, 2025 Data center stocks head into a holiday-shortened week with a familiar setup—and a few fresh fault lines. Demand for AI compute remains strong, but the market is increasingly pricing the constraints around that demand: power availability, grid rules, financing terms, and the evolving perimeter of U.S. semiconductor export controls. For investors watching the full “data center stack”—from AI chips and networking to power/cooling gear and data center REITs—the coming week is likely to be less about earnings and more about macro prints, liquidity, and headline-driven sentiment. That mix matters because many of the biggest data

NEW YORK — Dec. 20, 2025 — The U.S. stock market heads into the final stretch of 2025 with a familiar mix of optimism, anxiety, and thin holiday liquidity.

As of 1:17 p.m. ET (18:17 UTC) on Friday, December 19, 2025, the “AI trade” is back in the driver’s seat on Wall Street—at least for today—after a choppy stretch where investors questioned whether Big Tech’s spending binge can translate into durable profits. By early afternoon, U.S. stocks were higher, led by AI-heavy tech and semiconductors, with Nvidia (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO) among the day’s notable gainers, and Oracle (ORCL) jumping on TikTok-related headlines.

U.S. AI stocks are back in the spotlight heading into Friday’s opening bell, with premarket sentiment balancing two powerful forces: (1) a renewed “AI infrastructure” bid after Micron’s blockbuster outlook, and (2) policy and financing crosswinds—from chip export rules to mega–data center funding—still hanging over the sector. As of Friday, December 19, 2025, broader U.S. equity futures were mixed, with S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures pointing higher while Dow futures lagged, reflecting ongoing rotation into growth and tech after this week’s volatility.
