Paramount Skydance secured overwhelming trader consensus for closing the Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition after settling the final major antitrust suit with a dozen states on September 21, 2026. The agreement imposes a five-year consent decree with production spending and news independence commitments but avoids divestitures or structural remedies, following earlier DOJ, EU, and shareholder approvals plus financing backed by the Ellison family. Netflix and Comcast bids fell away months earlier amid regulatory and valuation gaps. With closure now projected for early October 2026, the slim odds for any other buyer or a missed June 2027 deadline rest on remote risks such as unforeseen financing shortfalls, new litigation, or material adverse changes that could still derail completion.
