Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is in the spotlight due to potential acquisition interest from Paramount, partially backed by wealthy investor Larry Ellison. The company has seen a significant rise in its stock, up 20% in December and 70% in Q3, driven by an improved balance sheet and better box office performance. Experts are speculating on a possible auction for the company as discussions heat up, with the recommendation to hold out for a price of $20, which some believe to be still below its true value. The current surge in stock price is attributed to rumors of a takeover by Paramount Skydance, with expectations for further clarity soon. Thus, WBD appears to be a hot topic in market discussions, and investors are closely monitoring developments.

COMMENT

Paramount's bid for WBD is partially financed by the fifth-wealthiest person in the world, Larry Ellison (Oracle), but Netflix wants WBD and has the blessing of the WBD board. Paramount won't get WBD unless Ellison comes back with HUGE money. WBD is up 20% in December.

PARTIAL BUY

It reports Thursday. Will there be an auction? This can rise a few more bucks they close a deal. If they don't, look out though.

COMMENT

Is up 70% in Q3, and one of the top S&P stocks in Q3, thanks to an improved balance sheet and better move box office and takeover talk.

BUY

If you own this, hold out for $20, though it's worth a lot more. Shares are surging on rumours of a Paramount Skydance takeover. Hope to see clarity on Monday.

WATCH

It reports Thursday. The new CEO has been reorganizing the company and paying down debt. The stock has been climbing as we get more facts about the impending break-up and the balance sheet improves.

DON'T BUY

They just reported a brutal quarter, a $9.1 billion writedown on some of its linear TV assets, given cord-cutting and higher costs.

WATCH

The Fed will cut rates which helps WBD lower their debt, but he needs to see a quarter that demonstrates a lot of cash flow.

DON'T BUY

Their recent quarter saw revenues and adjusted EBITDA beat, but still didn't match high market expectations due to Barbie's success. Problem is, they can't pay down their debt as fast as they planned--$43 billion in net debt. Huge.

COMMENT

They report Friday. They have a challenging balance sheet. He wants to hear about cord-cutting and advertising (leaving TV and going into the internet?). The CEO can make things happen, given his experience.

BUY

Warners is hosting a press event Wednesday. Buy shares ahead of it. He expects them to talk about cost efficiencies which the audience should welcome.

DON'T BUY

#4 performer in Q1, up 59%. Had an up and down 2022 after last year's merger. The stock has been over-hated and he loves their content. But their debt is too high.

BUY

Tanked last year, saddled with $50 billion in debt, but is rallying this year. AT&T shareholders didn't want to own WBD. Was down over 60% last year, but the 4th-best stock this year.

DON'T BUY

Isn't profitable and has a weak balance sheet.

WEAK BUY

Warner is a source of cash only. Not a big holding for her.

BUY

With assets from AT&T, will now be one of the premier streamers. Not a lot of capex needed, so he likes this business. Lots of upside and free cashflow.
