Netflix beats Q4 2025 earnings and tops 325M subscribers — but the Warner Bros. bet spooks investors

Netflix stock price forecast: NFLX stuck near $90 as Warner vote backs deal and earnings loom

NEW YORK, Jan 7, 2026, 14:35 EST — Regular session Netflix shares edged down 0.2% to $90.50 on Wednesday, after Warner Bros. Discovery’s board again urged shareholders to reject a rival bid from Paramount Skydance and stick with Netflix’s offer.

Warner said Paramount’s amended offer would amount to a leveraged buyout — an acquisition financed mostly with borrowed money — and flagged roughly $87 billion of pro forma gross debt in the structure.
