• Warner Bros. Gets Hostile Bid from Paramount, Tesla Falls, Strategy Rises

  On this episode of Stock Movers: - Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) received a hostile takeover bid from Paramount Skydance for $30 a share in cash on Monday, just days after the company agreed to a deal with Netflix Inc. The offer values Warner Bros. at $108.4 billion, including debt. The bid compares with Netflix’s offer of $27.75 in cash and stock. Paramount’s offer is for all of Warner Bros., while Netflix is interested only in the Hollywood studios, HBO and the streaming business. Warner Bros. shares were up 3.1% to $26.90 at 1:35 p.m. in New York on Monday. Paramount was up 8% while Netflix was down 4.3%. - Elon Musk is eager to transform Tesla (TSLA) into a robotics and artificial intelligence company, but the electric-vehicle maker’s stock price already reflects those businesses and is at a “full valuation,” according to Morgan Stanley, which lowered its rating on the company to the equivalent of a hold, its first cut since June 2023. Tesla shares trade at about 210 times projected earnings over the next 12 months, making it the second most expensive company in S&P 500 Index, trailing just Warner Brothers Discovery Inc. at 220 times and well ahead of third place Palantir Technologies Inc.’s multiple of 186. The stock fell as much as 3% on Monday to trade around $441. - Strategy (MSTR) shares rose in trading Monday after the digital asset treasury company said it bought $962.7 million worth of Bitcoin from Dec. 1 to Dec. 7, marking its largest acquisition since July. Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings are now worth more than $60 billion, but the company’s premium to its token holdings has continued to shrink. Strategy’s enterprise value at one point worth more than 2.5 times its Bitcoin holdings, but that has now fallen to a multiple of 1.1.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
