Warner Bros. Discovery Stock (WBD) Surges Into a Deal-Driven Crossroads: Netflix Merger, Paramount’s Ellison-Backed Bid, and Wall Street Forecasts (Dec. 23, 2025)
Warner Bros. Discovery shares traded near $28.75 on Dec. 23 as investors weighed Netflix’s $27.75-per-share asset deal against Paramount Skydance’s $30-per-share buyout, now backed by Larry Ellison’s $40.4 billion guarantee. Harris Oakmark, WBD’s fifth-largest shareholder, told Reuters Paramount’s revised bid remains “not sufficient” to secure support.
