Paramount Skydance has secured a consent decree resolving the final state antitrust challenge to its $110–111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, following earlier approvals from the DOJ and international regulators plus shareholder consent. The September 21, 2026 settlement includes commitments on theatrical releases, production spending, and editorial safeguards for news assets, allowing the parties to target closing in roughly two weeks—well ahead of the June 30, 2027 market horizon. Trader consensus at 99% for Paramount reflects this cleared regulatory path and the absence of competing bids after Netflix withdrew earlier. Limited remaining uncertainty centers on final court entry of the decree or any last-minute procedural delays that could push completion beyond the resolution window.
