Paramount in Preliminary Talks With State AGs Ahead of October Antitrust Settlement
TL;DR Summary
Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery are in early settlement discussions with California AG Rob Bonta and 11 other states over the Paramount–Warner Bros. Discovery merger antitrust suit, ahead of a mid-October court-ordered settlement conference in San Francisco. The talks are preparatory and not at the principals’ level yet, with discussions focusing on setting an agenda and potential remedies; no deal is near, a March 2027 trial remains on the calendar, and after-hours stock moves have been modest.
