​Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD) is one of the Best Long Term Stocks to Buy Under $50. On September 19, Forbes reported that Paramount Skydance Corporation is considering a bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD). Paramount Skydance Corporation was recently formed by the merger of Skydance Media and Paramount.

​This move follows the announcement by Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD) to split into two separate companies, Warner Bros. and Discovery Global, by April 2026. Analysts believe that acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD) before the split could be cheaper than bidding for the spun-off assets later, especially against competitors like Netflix and Amazon.

​However, there are some challenges, such as the Department of Justice previously scrutinizing the Paramount-Skydance merger over monopoly concerns, which could resurface with this potential acquisition. This is because the combined company would control a vast range of content and distribution channels, including streaming services, cable, and broadcast networks such as CBS and CNN. The Federal Trade Commission may also challenge the deal for creating a dominant broadcast empire.

​Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD) is a global media company that creates and distributes content across TV, film, streaming, and gaming.
