Insights

Proposed $82.7B Netflix–WBD merger is transformative but still uncertain.

The transaction would combine Netflix with Warner Bros. Discovery, creating a single platform with global distribution and one of the deepest film and TV libraries. The deal values WBD at an equity value of $72.0B and enterprise value of $82.7B, with WBD shareholders receiving $27.75 per share via $23.25 cash and $4.50 in Netflix stock. Funding relies on $10.3B of cash on hand and $50.0B of new acquisition debt.

Netflix and WBD emphasize content scale, franchises and expanded studio capacity as strategic benefits. The companies cite Warner Bros. CY26E EBITDA of $3.3B, or $5.8B including $2.5B in run-rate synergies, with implied pre- and post-synergy valuation multiples of 25.2% EV/EBITDA and 14.3% adjusted EV/EBITDA. Management targets at least $2-3B of run-rate cost savings by year three and expects GAAP EPS accretion by the second full year after closing.

Execution depends on multiple contingencies: separation of WBD’s Discovery Global business, WBD stockholder approval, regulatory clearances and integration of operations across studios, streaming and international markets. The companies outline numerous risk factors, including potential litigation, changes in viewing trends, adverse reactions from partners and uncertainty around the long-term value of Netflix stock. Closing is expected in 12–18 months, but timing and ultimate economics remain dependent on approvals and integration outcomes.
