Paramount Skydance Clears All Global Regulatory Hurdles for $110B Warner Bros. Discovery Deal
PSKY sits 34% above its 52-week low of $7.62.
Summary
Paramount Skydance has satisfied every regulatory condition under the merger agreement to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, with Mexico's clearance completing a sweep of nearly 70 countries. The only remaining obstacle is the lawsuit filed by 12 state attorneys general, which has already delayed the deal and pushed a trial to March 2027. CEO David Ellison is publicly urging a settlement, warning that further delay will impose penalty fees and litigation costs. The deal could and would close today but for the actions of just 12 state attorneys general. This is a major step toward closing the $110 billion combination, but the state AG litigation remains a real risk to timing and completion.
