Netflix shifts to all-cash bid for Warner Bros Discovery in bid-war with Paramount Skydance
Netflix updates its offer for Warner Bros Discovery's streaming and film assets to an all-cash bid of $27.75 per share (~$72 billion equity, ~$82 billion enterprise), aiming to give shareholders certainty and speed up approvals while Paramount Skydance continues pursuing a competing bid. Warner Bros’ board supports the cash deal and will spin off CNN and other assets; Netflix argues the combination enhances its library (including Harry Potter and Game of Thrones) and HBO Max, with continued US production investment. Netflix also reported quarterly growth in revenue and subscribers, though its stock dipped after the news.
