Investors have several worries about the acquisition of Warner Bros, such as the high debt that will finance it and potentially increasing subscription fees. Management sees it as another way for the company to disrupt traditional media and film.
Warner Bros Discovery's board could announce a decision as early as Wednesday on Paramount Skydance's $108.4 billion takeover bid, with the board likely to advise shareholders to vote against the offer, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Netflix and audio powerhouse iHeartMedia have entered into a new partnership to bring 14 video podcasts exclusively to Netflix in early 2026, the companies announced Tuesday. This represents Netflix's second major step into the podcast space, following its recent collaboration with Spotify.
Netflix will exclusively host over a dozen iHeartMedia video podcasts starting in 2026. The deal includes shows like "The Breakfast Club" but excludes some of iHeart's other top podcasts.
Media stocks remain in focus, with Warner Bros. Discovery supported by acquisition speculation, Netflix viewed positively on pullbacks, and Comcast seen as a structurally weak chart favoring selling rallies rather than long-term accumulation.
Netflix is expanding additional revenue streams, from ads to live sporting events. The company's financials are improving and profitability is increasing.
Netflix shares are taking a hit, but they still trade at a steep P/E ratio. This is a wonderful business, so investors should watch closely and wait for a more attractive entry point.
