Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) is one of the Best Stocks to Buy for High Returns in 2026. Netflix’s deal to acquire Warner Bros remains on track. In a recent update, on January 7, Reuters reported that Warner Bros Discovery turned down Paramount Skydance’s latest attempt to acquire the studio. The board of Warner Bros rejected the revised bid from Paramount of $108.4 billion, calling it a hostile bid that investors should reject.

​The board released a letter to its shareholders explaining that Paramount’s bid heavily relies on extraordinary debt financing, which increases the risk of successfully closing the deal. Moreover, the board also reaffirmed its commitment to Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) for its $82.7 billion deal.

​That said, Wall Street has a mixed opinion on the stock since its deal with Warner Bros. Recently, on January 5, CRFA downgraded the stock from Buy to Hold, while maintaining a $100 price target. Earlier, on December 11, Jefferies maintained a Buy rating on Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) but lowered the price target from $150 to $134.
