It was about your comment that news and reality TV are good forms of live content. But the companies that already specialize in that — CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN — are all legacy media. They already have news, yet it doesn’t really move the needle for them. That’s what I meant when I said I had nothing to add. If CNN doesn’t help WBD, why would news help Netflix?
I’m gonna be biased because I own Netflix and alphabet. TBH out of the legacy media players. I think the only realistic threat is Disney. If they can actually get better management. Then I’d be bullish on Disney. Even if paramount and WBD combine. They still lag behind Disney and Amazon streaming wise. If you want to talk about media companies. I’d be down. I follow them and this is my realm. What is it specifically about them?
I messed up and mentioned Harry Potter. He didnt say that in article. It was "Lord of the Rings," "Game of Thrones," "Superman" and "Wonder Woman". But your point is clear. You prefer Netflix/YouTube. So yea I got nothing else to say since the companies that have News segments like Paramount, Disney, Comcast, WBD. You dont want to discuss them.
I messed up and mentioning Harry Potter. He didnt say that in article. It was "Lord of the Rings," "Game of Thrones," "Superman" and "Wonder Woman". The point was that he felt focusing on IP was more important than the NBA rights. He said other stuff but I imagine you didnt read the article. Which I get your focus is on YouTube and Netflix. Not what a CEO of WBD says.
I’d like to hear thoughts about WBD.
I don’t think WBD owns all the rights to Harry Potter. JK still owns the characters and some other rights. I think companies should just take all the IP rights. Even if it’s expensive, or build their own IP. I’m not a fan of the authors retaining the IP. It poses a problem in the future. Just buy them out so the company can maximise the full potential of the IP.
You basically saying a few of the talking points the [WBD CEO said after losing NBA](https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/articles/2025/3/warner-bros-discovery-ceo-sees-nba-rights-loss-paving-the-way-for-growth-87871988). It was better to invest in DC, Harry Potter, etc IPs. Since you are just renting sports rights. While they own those IPs completly. I think due to WBD having negative sentiment at the time those comments were dismissed as cope for losing the NBA as opposed to giving good guidance that the NBA money could be used to invest in the IPs they own.
$PSKY calls and maybe $WBD, the rumors of the acquisition should keep driving up the stock for both, and maybe I'll buy some $PSKY shares as well. Might be the next Netflix, either way $19 is a good entry point when it could easily leap next year.
Is there any possibility that Elon will join in as a major investor for the PSKY & WBD Merger? After all, Larry Ellison helped Elon with the purchase of Twitter. Any thoughts?
1 - PARA was as "intense" as it was because its dual-class structure gave Shari Redstone veto rights over any deal. She had specific personal financial goals that had to be satisfied that were not inline with the economics of other shareholders and were borderline uneconomic. It's WBD has a single class of shares. Ellison doesn't even have to engage with WBD management if he doesn't want. He absolutely will, but if he chose to make a tender offer to shareholders, no one could block the deal. It may be a single detail, but it is everything in this case. 2 - WBD discussed various combinations with PARA at a high level, to say that they planned to acquire PARA is not accurate. The plan with WBD was always a sale. On the profitability point, WBD is less profitable now than it was a year, 2 years, or 3 years ago. Yes, the streaming business is profitable, but adjusted EBITDA has declined sequentially due to the ongoing weakness in its cable business. Also, I didn't say they'd sell themselves for $24, but that it'd be north of $24, which is higher than it has ever traded, and more than 3x its 52 week low 3 - Any WBD deal would have to largely be funded with personal cash from the Ellison family. Not sure what the price for Paramount has to do with anything, the $15 was already \~50% above its market value at the time of the deal. Shari was a forced seller, Ellison was the only buyer, he could dictate terms. If Ellison doesn't move now, he will likely not have the opportunity to buy the Studio / Streaming business without paying a massive premium for a long time. None of us know what the offer will be or what price Zaz is a seller at, but Zaz was quoted in the NYPost about a price in the $40s (which would be insane), the stock has already traded up above $19, and Faber has reported a price in the 20s, so any offer under $20 would likely be a waste of time.
Just saw others people downvoting so I just hopped in :). I’m also in LDI, RZLV and WBD
You'd get no complaint out of me, make no mistake. A 300% return on my invest would be lovely. However, that would valuing the WBD near $100B, plus the $34-35B in long-term debt. I'm not sure it's worth quite that much.
Just a heads up to anyone thinking they are late. PSKY is still massively undervalued. Trading at 20 billion market cap. WBD assets rumored to be worth 30 billion without debt. 50 billion market cap puts PSKY shares at ~$50 a share.
I have a few questions, 1. PARA + Skydance was a pretty intense structure. What confidence we have that the PSKY + WBD merger will be any different? 2. WBD was planning to acquire PARA before and now they will sell themselves at $24 when they are actually paying down debt and will be profitable in coming years? 3. PARA is already leveraged pretty bad and with Elison family backing we think the stock will improve? Pretty wishful if you ask me as otherwise they would have tried to take most of the folks out with the $15 tender offer which was for 6/10 ratio IMO bid will be announced next weekend or later once the FED rate cut is announced and it will be disappointing. I expect WBD to go up and PSKY to go down as it usually is with some back and forth between the two companies before the final price is set. PS: Don't want to offend anyone but just sharing as shareholder of both WBD + PSKY through the PARA + Skydance and ATT + HBO + DISCA saga.
$LDI $GPRO $RZLV and $WBD if ur sigma
Psky and WBD boutta fly soon I think
Shoulda just got WBD calls on that news yesterday didn’t think it would moon again
This is the problem. The FTC may block this merger. Keep a close eye on major insider selling while WBD is pumped up. Could be a play for an exec payday.
WBD + Skydance = streaming powerhouse
Been holding WBD since the AT&T spin off. Accumulated more shares over time, and did tax loss harvest the most expensive lot I held. I've been convinced to a fair degree the IP was undervalued, although, I at times had to just close my eyes and breath. I have also appreciated the aggressive debt pay down schedule, which has made the company more attractive. The announced split in 2026 seemed like it was going to be the opportunity/event that would bring the market closer to my line of thought. The coming buyout offer just accelerated the curve. I'm thinking mid $20's/share, but I've heard some more optimistic numbers thrown around in the mid $30's and even $40. I think that's mostly wishful thinking, but the sentiment might be enough to drive up the premium.
Wait if WBD and PSKY merge does that mean that their stock prices are gonna combine ?? how does that work im sorry im regardedly new to this
Agree , coincides with WBD rolling high !!!!
Gotta wait for the bid next week. After WBD comes Tiktok. Hope you got leaps
PSKY and WBD hitting 20 on Monday.
If yall put my WBD calls in the money at 25 that would actually be insane
WBD close to my price target of $20, worth a trim now
WBD up 19% 🚀🚀🚀 Next target $28
Congrats if you bought WBD calls.
Just bought a bunch of way OTM PSKY Leaps because why not? If WBD bid goes through it’ll be a fat pay day.
I mean yea but they’re late to the party. They should’ve done this 10 years ago when Netflix and YouTube were gaining steam. The future of streaming was coming and legacy media choose to ignore it. It was a mistake imo. Also I think having this discussion on this subreddit is fine. It allows others to see different opinions and perspectives. Congrats on your win on WBD!
Isn’t that kind of the point of WBD splitting cable from streaming? The split is meant to free the streaming business from legacy drag. I think the fear of a rerating for streaming is part of why Paramount/Skydance is moving to buy now. They’re thinking ahead — though I guess that nuance doesn’t get much traction on threads that disappear in 24 hours. I bought WBD at $8, and the reason I’m up over 100% is exactly because of anticipating the potential of a split which likely sparked takeover interest.
No love on here for WBD rising close to 50% in 24 hours?
As a long suffering WBD shareholder I expect it to be on the board when it finally goes almost 50% in 2 days
WBD/ PSKY deal going through? 🤔
Soooo WBD calls on the bidding war from here?
Didn’t notice the indexes were down/flat my small caps and WBD were green enough to mask the broader market.
WBD up 16% 🚀🚀🚀 NY Times expecting Bidding war.
You’re right — the CEO wanting $40 doesn’t mean he’ll get it. That said, unsolicited bids happen: WBD said it wasn’t for sale and planned a split in April, but reports say Paramount moved to make an offer before that split. If you don’t own the stock, fair but for holders, a higher all-cash bid matters. Looks like Paramount is trying to buy ahead of possible rate cuts or a rerating for streaming/studios.
What will WBD take over price be?
I wasn’t saying Netflix wanted them, just that WBD’s CEO seemed to be pushing for a bidding war (Amazon and Apple were mentioned in the same breath). In sports, players do this all the time to drive up contract prices. Whether a PARA/WBD combo could ever challenge Netflix won’t be clear for years, so it’s really something time will tell. If you are right thread will be gone. If you are wrong thread will also be gone. What stays are just the upvoted/downvotes from whatever remarks you make today in this thread.
Im just repeating the news. I didnt say Netflix wanted them. Just that the WBD CEO wanted a bidding war Amazon and Apple were in the same sentence. In sports players often try to get into bidding wars to jack up the price before they sign contracts which is probably what WBD CEO attempting saying I will go to (insert companies) before I take Paramount offer. The answer to your question if a combined PARA/WBD will overtake Netflix wont be known for years. This isnt something that you get the answer within 24 hours of this thread. So honestly not sure why I even engaged this. Since the answer will be known when this thread long gone.

I bought WBD at $8. Im already up 100%. It seems like you bearish and nothing will change your opinion. Glad I bought at $8.
Just bought WBD calls, sorry guys
Still early for PSKY/ WBD. $24 for WBD by end of next week?
WBD has had hit after hit at the box office Sinners, Weapons, Superman, the new Conjuring film. With cartoons/animation this would be Nickelodeon + Cartoon Network combined. With sports they have a monopoly the NCAA basketball tournament. As just a couple examples of what them combined would mean. They would have AEW + UFC. A combined company puts them easily in Top 3. Maybe you missed the recent news but WBD CEO wants a bidding war and wants to hear big tech offers. So they might not even go to Paramount maybe Amazon, Apple, or Netflix buys them.

As just a couple examples of what them combined would mean.
I don’t understand the threat of paramount and WBD merging together. If you add up their market shares for streaming from the Nielsen report. They’re still behind Amazon and Disney. They don’t even come close to Netflix which sits at 9 percent and YouTube at 13 percent. This would put them in the tier 2 status in the streaming realm. I just realistically don’t see anyone joining the tier 1 status in the streaming realm anytime soon. I could be wrong but I just don’t see it imo.
WBD CEO just said he wants at least $40 a share this is going to get interesting.
I messed up bringing up UNH. This comment was meant to be about WBD. I will make new comment so WBD can be the focus. Like I said people dont want to talk about WBD for some reason and bringing up other stocks drew away focus from such a major story going on with WBD.
Y’all going too much into paramount and missing out on WBD which will be the bigger winner once it goes through
I missed so many of the popular plays on sub. Went with ASML instead of NVDA.Went with MOH instead of UNH. Finally hit it big with WBD. But that was a stock no one talked about buying before it shot up lol.

Soo.. Larry's dream #'s we're just for his son to be able to make cash offer for $WBD
You are saying psky but not the WBD??
WBD will have to shut down and fire everyone at CNN for this to go through
Lets not forget that oretty much every year WBD has a diiferent growth strategy that is is working for about 6 months and is being modified during the next 6 months. How many times HBO platform has undergone changes now? 3? 4? Since he became the CEO. Also HBO Max was a fat lie. Outside of USA there was just a fraction of classic content. To such a funny extend that some classic movies were seen on big multi-production promo title cards yet were never added to the platform
I've been holding the WBD bag tight for 3 years... please gods of spikes, make this happen today...
Nah they wouldn’t come close. Nielsen’s latest report showed YouTube with a dominant presence of 13 percent. Netflix is around 9 percent. Disney is 4.7 and Amazon is 3.8. If you add paramount which is 1.9 and WBD which was 1.5. You get 3.5 which is still behind Amazon and Disney. Paramount and WBD are so far behind. It’s like getting two mediocre basketball players together and thinking you can challenge LeBron or Steph which is essentially YouTube and Netflix. That’s not going to happen.
Fubo, WBD, and PSKY are good ones to be holding as well. Fubo is about to make jump. Bayer, ACHV, and MBOT are also good BUY contenders that I do have positions of. The charts look good for them.
Does Amazon count that much? People have Amazon Prime Video because they want "free" fast shipping. Are that many people forgoing other SVOD services because they have Prime Video? HBO Max already has pretty much as many subs as Disney+, so a combined Paramount + WBD would crush Disney's SVOD service in terms of subs and revenue.

WBD surges 29% as Paramount prepares bid, sparking potential media bidding war [https://finance.yahoo.com/news/paramount-bid-warner-bros-discovery-213923644.html](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/paramount-bid-warner-bros-discovery-213923644.html)
I keep telling you all about PSKY. Already up on the WBD bid deal. They’re literally going to monopolize owning the catalog for everyone major movie blockbuster and TV show out there and capture the future revenue of those films and shows. If The Ellisons buy TikTok Trump wants them to, it’s game over. $100+ stock right here.
PSKY/QS/SOFI/BULL/OPEN. PSKY is a hidden gem. Been telling people about it before it’s too late. They just announced they’re going to bit to buy WBD (Warner Bros-Discovery). CEO is the son of the ORCL CEO who Trump wants to have purchase TIKTOK.
I have 10/17 WBD calls that I thought were duds, this is nice
does anyone still wonder who is going to buy TikTok? deadline is looming. seems PSKY and Ellison with their bid to buy WBD may have their focus and money elsewhere. are AMZN or MSFT legitimate contenders? or will the Deadline come and go again with another extension? I feel like there will be a shock and awe surprise. opinions?
I do to. For example I was talking about buying WBD for months and the common push back was the debt. Them having no moat. Netflix being superior. Looks like buying aginst that paid off. Same with buying SE at 36-50 on the TikTok FUD. I think it the upvote system that causes it. People tend to say what is popular at the time. Being unpopular and forward looking can cause tickers to not be brought up or be near the bottom in the general threads on this sub.
It's going to take over $WBD then go parabolic. This is the very beginning.
so now we know why ORCL pumped so high. Daddy needed money to help his son make a bid to buy WBD
So excited for Skydance Paramount to merge with WBD only to break up in 5 years when the merger doesn't result in synergies aka every entertainment merger in history.
> You’re welcome WBD holders, I just sold a $13 strike call off my position yesterday. mine's a 17.50 i've been holding for a few months now for next year. still OOTM, but we'll see what happens if that bid ends up being a real thing.
The WBD dumped on me from the AT&T split is still down 45% after today's bump.
