Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu-Chris Palmeri, Bloomberg News Senior Editor and Entertainment Team Leader, discusses Paramount Skydance launching a hostile takeover bid for Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. at $30 a share in cash on Monday, just days after the company agreed to a deal with Netflix.-Jennifer Rie, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Litigation Analyst, discusses the regulatory hurdles for acquiring Warner Brothers Discovery. According to Bloomberg intelligence: Netflix's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. studio and streaming assets will likely undergo rigorous antitrust scrutiny in the US and elsewhere and it's at risk of antitrust challenges.-Stephen Flynn, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Credit Analyst, discusses debt commitments for Warner Brothers Discovery acquisition. According to Bloomberg Intelligence: Netflix net leverage could increase to more than 3x and the raters may put the company on negative outlook, if it were to reach an agreement to buy Warner Bros. studios and streaming operations for about $75 billion in a mostly cash deal.-Anurag Rana, Bloomberg Intelligence Technology Analyst, discusses IBM buying the data-streaming platform Confluent Inc. for about $9.3 billion, marking one of its largest takeovers yet and a major bet on the kind of enterprise software that artificial intelligence tools need to perform tasks in real time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
