NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 10:45 EST — Regular session Netflix shares inched up 4 cents on Tuesday after Paramount Skydance filed suit against Warner Bros Discovery to force more disclosure around Warner’s agreement with Netflix, keeping the takeover fight in play.

(The Verge) The courtroom push matters because it drags the dispute out of press releases and into Delaware, where timeline and detail can shift fast. For Netflix, the noise lands at an awkward moment: investors are trying to decide whether the Warner deal is a

Netflix stock rises as Paramount lawsuit turns up heat on Warner deal, HSBC starts with Buy

New York, Jan 12, 2026, 10:20 EST — Regular session Netflix shares ticked up Monday, even as Paramount Skydance ramped up its opposition to Netflix’s bid for major Warner Bros. Discovery assets, injecting fresh doubt into the deal’s outlook. The clash comes right before Netflix’s quarterly earnings next week, with investors eager for updates on the company’s outlook and the ripple effects from its largest strategic move in years.

Paramount takes Netflix-Warner deal fight to Congress as takeover battle turns political

WASHINGTON, Jan 11, 2026, 13:43 EST Paramount has urged U.S. lawmakers to take a hard look at Netflix’s proposed acquisition of key Warner Bros Discovery assets. In a written filing, the company labeled the deal “presumptively unlawful.” Paramount also dismissed claims that free video platforms can compete with paid streaming as “psychedelic antitrust,” arguing there’s “no ground in market or legal reality” for such comparisons. (PYMNTS.com) This shift is significant, ramping up political pressure on a takeover battle already drawing regulatory scrutiny. Warner Bros Discovery’s board has urged shareholders to support its deal with Netflix, dismissing Paramount Skydance’s bid. The

Netflix stock slips on Warner Bros deal drama — earnings is the next test

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 7:16 PM EST — Market closed. Netflix Inc shares closed Friday down 1.2% at $89.46, hitting an intraday low of $88.33 as investors mulled over deal risks and the upcoming earnings report. Markets are closed for the weekend, leaving a tricky situation: a major acquisition underway, a rival bidder stepping up with cash, and Netflix’s earnings report just days away. The reason it matters now is straightforward. The stock has once again become headline-driven, as the Warner Bros Discovery deal could rapidly reshape Netflix’s footprint — and put investors’ appetite for leverage and execution risk

Netflix stock: Warner Bros bid fight keeps NFLX in play ahead of earnings and CPI

New York, Jan 10, 2026, 11:09 EST — Market closed Netflix Inc shares closed down 1.2% on Friday at $89.46, as the streaming company’s stock tracked the latest twists in a bidding contest for Warner Bros Discovery that investors see as a potential balance-sheet stress test. The timing is awkward. Markets reopen Monday with little new company-specific data likely before a run of hard dates — a U.S. inflation report next week, Netflix results the week after, and a Jan. 21 deadline tied to the rival offer for Warner Bros. Paramount Skydance reiterated on Thursday that its $108.4 billion bid

Netflix stock slips as Paramount challenges Warner deal; CPI and earnings are next

NEW YORK, Jan 10, 2026, 07:23 (EST) — Market closed Paramount Skydance on Thursday reiterated that its $108.4 billion, $30-a-share bid for Warner Bros. Discovery trumped Netflix’s $27.75-a-share cash-and-stock deal for WBD’s studios and streaming assets. Netflix (NFLX.O) shares closed down 1.2% on Friday at $89.46. “But Paramount has a point – fading TV networks aren’t appealing to most investors,” Ross Benes, a senior analyst at eMarketer, said. (Reuters) That tug-of-war matters for Netflix now because it has pitched the Warner transaction as a cleaner, more certain route to bulk up its content and streaming footprint. A rival bidder can

New York, January 9, 2026, 21:12 ET — Market closed Warner Bros. Discovery’s Series A shares rose about 2% on Friday as Paramount Skydance’s top lawyer urged U.S. lawmakers to take a hard look at Netflix’s planned deal for parts of WBD. (Front Office Sports) The stock has been trading like a vote on deal odds. Paramount reiterated this week that its $30-per-share all-cash tender offer — a bid to buy shares directly from investors at a set price — beats Netflix’s $27.75-per-share cash-and-stock agreement for WBD’s studios and streaming assets, with the offer set to expire on Jan. 21

Netflix stock slides below $90 as Goldman trims target and Warner bid fight drags on

NEW YORK, Jan 9, 2026, 11:05 EST — Regular session Netflix stock fell about 2% on Friday after Goldman Sachs lowered its price target, keeping pressure on a share price already down sharply since the last earnings report. Netflix was down $1.84 at $88.70 in late morning trade, after slipping below $90 and touching a session low of $88.33. (TipRanks) The timing matters because the stock has become a proxy for merger risk, not just streaming fundamentals.

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 11:07 ET — Regular session Netflix stock was down 0.4% at $90.34 on Thursday, slipping as Paramount Skydance renewed its push to buy Warner Bros Discovery and took fresh aim at the structure of Netflix’s agreed deal for Warner’s studios and streaming assets. Paramount reiterated its $30-per-share all-cash offer and said the cable-network spin-off central to Netflix’s proposal was effectively worth less than nothing; Paramount’s tender offer expires on Jan. 21.

New York, Jan 8, 2026, 06:22 EST — Premarket Netflix stock (NFLX) inched up 0.1% to $90.73 in premarket trading on Thursday after the streaming company reaffirmed its commitment to a proposed deal for key Warner Bros. Discovery assets. The fresh statement matters because the takeover fight around Warner Bros.

New York, Jan 7, 2026, 16:56 EST — After-hours Netflix (NFLX.O) shares were up 0.1% at $90.73 in after-hours trading on Wednesday after Warner Bros.
