Warner Bros. Discovery has entered exclusive negotiations for a deal to sell its studios and HBO Max streaming business to Netflix, a move that would dramatically reshape the entertainment and media industry, according to people familiar with the matter. 

Warner’s move to exclusive talks with Netflix comes after the latest round of bids for the media company that owns Superman and HBO Max. Paramount and Comcast also have been pursuing Warner Discovery. 

All three companies came in with sweetened offers this week. Netflix has submitted a mostly cash bid, The Wall Street Journal previously reported.

Does this mean I don't have to pay for Netflix and HBO Max separately?

Sure, it will only be $59.99 per month or $600 for a yearly sub.

However for commercial free you can upgrade to $65.99 per month or $625 up front.

With all the recent streaming company mergers, I feel like this is our unfortunate future.

The good news about Netflix buying WB/HBO and Disney buying Hulu is that those are two accounts/passwords/subscriptions we dont need to worry about anymore.

The bad news is the price of Netflix just went up.

Think this may cause their stock to go up? Asking bc I bought a fair share recently and it’s killing me. Currently my biggest loser. But I bought when it peaked. So only have had it a little bit. Think I’m down 10ish percent. But I’m willing g to hold long term bc I don’t see it just going away.

Y'all speak for yourselves. I canceled HBO Max and for some reason they didn't cut me off two years ago

I am watching Netflix stock price. Will pick some up if it goes much lower. A good buy and hold stock.

I bought 9-10 years ago or so… I’m up over 1000%. It will take some dips but you have to just ignore and hold

Volatility will be the trend for the next few weeks.

I am holding for sure. I just got in at a bad time. I believe in the company. I sold a property and invested all of money into stock market. Bought 20 different stocks. Meta and Netflix are my big misses so far. I am up overall but those two are my anchors since purchasing. Google has helped a lot. But I am holding both bc they both print money. I just have to wait till they come back. I believe both will. And I don’t need the money anytime soon.

US President Donald Trump raised potential antitrust concerns around Netflix Inc.’s planned $72 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc., noting that the market share of the combined entity may pose problems.

“Well, that’s got to go through a process, and we’ll see what happens,” Trump said when asked about the deal, confirming he met Netflix co-Chief Executive Officer Ted Sarandos recently. “But it is a big market share. It could be a problem.”

Paramount has entered the chat.

quote:

Paramount said it would pay $30 per share in cash, valuing the company at around $108 billion, including debt. It said it was going to shareholders because the board of Warner Bros. Discovery is “pursuing an inferior proposal” that would lead to “a challenging regulatory approval process.”

trading today at 27...30 is a 10% premium. if nothing else i'd imagine this gives whales the chance to hold the share price above 25 thus making the NFLX deal at 27.75 look undervalued (even if it isnt). theres money to be made at the margins here in a relatively stable arbitrage environment (guardrails up on both sides)
