Critical Dependencies
A major media conglomerate (HBO, HBO Max, Warner Bros. Pictures, CNN, Discovery Channel) formed by the 2022 merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery, which agreed to be acquired by Paramount Skydance for $31 per share (roughly $110 billion including debt) after a bidding war in which Paramount's all-cash offer for the entire company beat out Netflix's initial studio-and-streaming-only deal; shareholders approved the acquisition in April 2026.
