Warner Bros. stock had been trading around $27 in June.

While reporting mixed second quarter earnings results, it's Netflix's (NFLX) disappointing third quarter outlook that's dragging the stock lower on Friday. BofA Securities senior media & entertainment analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich addresses whether an acquisition is still on the table for the streaming giant after losing out on its bid for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD).

Comcast has been quietly contemplating acquiring a 33-year-old telecom competitor as it continues to struggle with customer losses in its cable TV and internet business. The company lost 322,000 cable TV customers and 65,000 internet customers in the first quarter of 2026 as it faces growing ...

Netflix didn't end up acquiring Warner Bros. earlier this year, but there may be another great opportunity for it to consider now that Comcast is breaking up.

Investing.com - Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) shares are trading up 3.8% at $74.14 on Wednesday, rebounding from near their 52-week low after The Wall Street Journal walked back speculation that the streaming giant was lining up a bid for NBCUniversal following Comcast Corp's (NASDAQ:CMCSA) announced spinoff.

Comcast's spinning off NBCUniversal could set them up to pursue future deals even if there aren't any deals on the table yet.

NBCU has shown interest in companies like Electronic Arts in the past and currently has a deal with Nintendo around the Super Mario Bros. franchise.

Big "vertical," synergistic-seeking media mergers are officially no longer a thing now that Comcast has decided to break apart the company. Again.

The planned spinoff of NBCU is another step in a long-running realignment of the media and entertainment industry’s power structure.

Comcast will split into two publicly traded companies through a spinoff of NBCUniversal and Sky, separating its ‌cash-generating broadband arm from a media and entertainment business ‌under pressure from streaming rivals and industry consolidation. The latest U.S. media industry shake-up follows years of cord-cutting as legacy players chase scale to better compete with Netflix while Paramount Skydance's $110 billion deal for Warner Bros Discovery is ‌set to boost competition.
