Netflix Stock Gets $25 Billion Buyback Boost After Warner Bros Deal Collapse

Netflix shares underperform Nasdaq as NBCUniversal tie-up chatter fails to move premium

Netflix, Inc. lagged the tech rally on Monday. Shares finished at $73.78, off 0.04%. The Nasdaq Composite added 2.1% and the S&P 500 rose 1.2%. The spread came as traders looked to media merger chatter, with buyers chasing likely acquisition targets and betting on cable deals, but skipping over Netflix. This is worth noting as Netflix is acting more like an earnings trade than a name following the index bounce. The Nasdaq moved up 2% but Netflix stayed pinned near its low end for the year.

Paramount Skydance shares up after DOJ OK on Warner Bros. merger, PSKY hurdles ahead

Paramount Skydance shares up after DOJ OK on Warner Bros. merger, PSKY hurdles ahead

Paramount Skydance Corporation shares are in play again after the U.S. Justice Department approved its planned takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. The antitrust review said the deal probably won’t hurt competition or consumers. That’s key for PSKY, which is trading more like a merger bet these days. Every regulatory green light cuts merger risk, while any new legal snag makes closing the media deal more expensive for investors. The stock didn’t jump. Google Finance showed PSKY finishing Friday at $10.47, off 0.19% for the session, then trading up to $10.76 after hours, up 2.77% from the close. Paramount Skydance’s market cap was about $11.72 billion on the same page. The listed 52-week range: $8.62 to $20.86. Earnings per share came in at negative $0.51. Those numbers explain why some investors look at the stock as both a high-risk media bet and a special event play.

Paramount-Warner Bros Deal Faces New California Antitrust Test as Lawmakers Push Bonta

Paramount’s $111 Billion Warner Bros Deal Faces A New California Threat

Paramount Skydance’s proposed $111 billion buyout of Warner Bros. Discovery is facing fresh scrutiny after California Democrats in Congress and press-freedom advocates pushed back, injecting uncertainty around a deal both firms are hoping to finalize by late September. Now, there’s a real possibility that state officials, shareholders, or the FCC might throw up hurdles. The shareholder hurdle is cleared—Warner Bros. Discovery investors gave the green light to the sale back in April. Still, the deal isn’t done. Regulatory scrutiny remains, both in Washington and abroad. The Justice Department wants details about studio output, content rights, streaming rivals, and theaters.

CBS Stock Today: Paramount Skydance Enters Monday Under Pressure as $110 Billion Warner Bros Deal Hits Antitrust Test

CBS Stock Today: Paramount Skydance Enters Monday Under Pressure as $110 Billion Warner Bros Deal Hits Antitrust Test

Paramount Skydance, CBS’s parent, faces another tough premarket session Monday in the U.S. Shares remained in the red after Friday’s close, as investors tallied up a significant deal victory but kept a wary eye on what could be a drawn-out regulatory process. Retail investors still plug in “CBS stock,” but what they’ll get now is Paramount Skydance Class B, ticker PSKY. That switch came after last year’s Skydance-Paramount tie-up; a company filing confirmed the Class B shares trade on Nasdaq as PSKY. The separate CBS stock? It’s gone.

California antitrust probe throws fresh doubt on Paramount’s $110 billion Warner Bros Discovery deal

California antitrust probe throws fresh doubt on Paramount’s $110 billion Warner Bros Discovery deal

California Attorney General Rob Bonta says his office is actively investigating Paramount Skydance’s proposed takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, cautioning the planned merger remains far from settled and pledging a “vigorous” review. The Guardian cited Alvaro Bedoya, ex-Federal Trade Commission commissioner, who believes state attorneys general “have a shot at stopping it.” Bill Baer, who once led antitrust at the Justice Department, described a possible multi-state lawsuit as a “real threat.” The state-level court fight is significant; it can drag on independently of any federal sign-off, injecting months of uncertainty regardless of what regulators in Washington decide. For a firm already dealing with shrinking cable-TV margins and more brutal streaming rivals, that’s a headache it doesn’t need.

  • Investors Eye Wise Group, Other Founder-Led UK Stocks in Choppy Market
    July 1, 2026, 10:07 PM EDT. Investors are looking at founder-led companies like Wise Group and Computacenter as global market pressure builds from supply chain snags and inflation. Wise Group, a fintech in London, handles cross-border transfers and multi-currency accounts, bringing in US$2.5 billion revenue with a £9.1 billion market cap. Wise shares trade under projected cash flow after earnings slipped and margins narrowed. Computacenter is an IT services player with £9.2 billion revenue and £4.6 billion market cap, serving businesses and the public sector worldwide. The stock trades below some value calls but sports a high P/E ratio and margins have tightened. Management at both firms stays closely tied to shareholders, with some seeing this as a bet on long-term value as uncertainty persists.
