Proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Paramount Skydance
Potential business transaction
Summary
Paramount Skydance announced a definitive agreement with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) on February 27, 2026, to acquire the company for $110.9 billion at $31 per share in cash. The massive transaction came after a months-long corporate battle between Netflix and Paramount that effectively shelved WBD's previous plans of splitting into two companies. Paramount began submitting unsolicited offers to acquire Warner Bros. on September 12, 2025, and despite rejecting the proposals, the WBD board of directors placed the company up for auction on October 21, 2025, to maximize shareholder value.
