    1. It’s funny because a company with $14 billion of debt is taking over a company that’s $33 billion in debt.

    2. There’s currently a 13.7% yield on buying WBD and holding to the expected merger close date (32.9% annualized yield).

      If the closing date is extended then you’re paid an additional 4% yield until it does.

      If the deal falls through then WBD receives $7B cash (10% yield).

      Anyone else playing this?

    3. Headline is wrong. It should read “Warner Brothers bagholders approve Paramount’s $81 billion takeover of the Hollywood giant.”

      Merging two burning dumpster fires into one giant, 81 billion dollar mega-dumpster fire. can’t wait to see the loss porn on this in two years tbh.

    6. Many IPs saved from Netflix treatment, good news for culture if not for their balance sheet

      Love to see how this is going to happen since most of the money was put up by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and they have declared force majaure due to Iran. No oil flow, no money.

    8. This is the best outcome for Netflix. Because they will swoop in and buy at a steeper discount in the future.

      The only winner here are WB shareholders. They will probably take their money and buy NFLX now.
