Paramount “running out of patience” as Warner Bros Discovery nears next Netflix deal test

Paramount “running out of patience” as Warner Bros Discovery nears next Netflix deal test

NEW YORK, Jan 4, 2026, 20:05 ET Paramount Skydance is running out of patience with Warner Bros Discovery’s repeated refusals to engage on its takeover approach, the New York Post reported late Saturday. New York Post Warner’s board is expected to meet soon to weigh Paramount’s amended proposal against a rival cash-and-stock agreement with Netflix valued at about $82.7 billion, according to a person familiar with the matter. Under the terms of the Netflix deal, Warner would face a $2.8 billion breakup fee if it walks away. Reuters The timing matters because Paramount is using a tender offer — a

Netflix stock today: NFLX drops nearly 3% as Warner deal drama and earnings near

NEW YORK, January 4, 2026, 06:20 ET — Market closed Netflix shares last closed down $2.78, or about 3%, at $90.99 on Friday, the first trading day of 2026. The stock traded between $90.83 and $93.61, with about 41 million shares changing hands. The slide matters now because investors are still digesting Netflix’s agreement to buy Warner Bros. Discovery’s film and TV studios and streaming assets, including HBO and HBO Max. Netflix said the cash-and-stock transaction values Warner at $27.75 per share, with an enterprise value of about $82.7 billion — a measure that includes debt — and it expects

Netflix stock today holds steady as NFL Christmas game streams hit records, Warner Bros deal watched

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 16:47 ET — After-hours Netflix, which holds the rights to stream National Football League games on Christmas Day through 2026, said its holiday doubleheader set new U.S. streaming records, led by the Lions-Vikings game averaging 27.5 million viewers and the Cowboys-Commanders matchup averaging 19.9 million, citing Nielsen data.

Netflix stock dips after hours as Warner Bros seen rejecting Paramount bid in latest twist

NEW YORK, December 30, 2025, 4:42 PM ET — After-hours Netflix (NFLX.O) shares slipped in after-hours trade on Tuesday after a report said Warner Bros Discovery was expected to reject Paramount Skydance’s latest hostile bid, keeping Netflix’s offer in play. Netflix was down about 0.4% at $93.78. The bidding fight matters now because it has become the clearest near-term driver for Netflix sentiment, with investors weighing deal certainty against the risk of a higher price or tougher terms. It has also kept attention on how much balance-sheet risk Netflix would take on in a blockbuster transaction. Year-end trading conditions have

A report saying Warner is expected to reject Paramount Skydance’s revised hostile bid put the focus back on Netflix’s proposed deal for the media company’s assets. The decision matters because the outcome could reshape the streaming landscape and set the terms for a new round of consolidation. Reuters The timing adds urgency.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 09:11 PM ET — Market closed Warner Bros Discovery’s Series A shares were down 1 cent, or 0.04%, at $28.79 on Monday. The stock is trading like a deal-arbitrage play, with investors trying to price the odds of rival bids for the media group and the timing of what comes next.

The stock has been effectively “deal-trading” as shareholders weigh a tender offer — a public bid that asks investors to sell their shares at a stated price — from Paramount Skydance against Warner’s agreed transaction with Netflix, ahead of a Jan. 21 deadline for investors to decide on Paramount’s offer.

New York time check: 1:16 a.m. ET on Saturday, December 27, 2025. Because it’s Saturday, U.S. stock exchanges are closed right now—which matters for Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc.
