BIDDING WAR BREAKS OUT AS PARAMOUNT OFFERS MORE FAKE MONEY($108 BILLION) THAN NETFLIX FOR WARNER BROTHERS
(ZH)The bidding war between Netflix and Paramount for Warner Bros.' film and television studios, including HBO and HBO Max, is intensifying heading into the US cash session on Monday morning.
Paramount has raised its bid with a $30-per-share, all-cash tender offer for all of Warner Bros. Discovery, stating in a press release that its proposal is a "superior alternative" to Netflix's deal announced last Friday.
Price: An all-cash offer at $30.00 per share, equating to an enterprise value of $108.4 billion, which represents a 139% premium to the undisturbed WBD stock price of $12.54 as of September 10, 2025. In contrast, the Netflix proposal entails a volatile and complex structure valued at $27.75 mix of cash ($23.25) and stock ($4.50), subject to collar and the future performance of Netflix, equating to an enterprise value of $82.7 billion (excluding SpinCo).
GRA:Now if someone throws in an actual dollar bill,they might just be the winner.
