Netflix vs Paramount: The intense battle for Warner Bros. heats up with $83bn cash pivot
21-Jan-2026

Netflix has made an important change to its massive deal to buy Warner Bros. The streaming company is now offering only cash, instead of a mix of cash and Netflix shares. This update has shaken up an already intense battle over who gets to own one of the world’s most famous entertainment companies. The new deal puts extra pressure on a rival bid from Paramount, which has been arguing that its own offer is simpler, faster, and worth more money to shareholders. Why did Netflix make the change? Earlier, Netflix’s offer included cash plus $4.50 worth of its own stock. Now, Netflix says it will pay $27.75 per share entirely in cash for Warner Bros., removing stock from the equation.
