Greenlight Capital stated the following regarding Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

"Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD) is a media conglomerate that owns HBO, the Warner Bros. Studio and content library, and various linear cable networks. We acquired our shares at an average price of $22.66 after Paramount Skydance (PSKY) bid $23.50 for the company, as we expected additional bidders to emerge. Shortly thereafter, Netflix submitted a $27.75 bid for WBD’s streaming and studio assets, prompting PSKY to raise its offer to $30 per share. We believe a sale in the low- to mid-$30s is the most likely outcome. WBD shares ended the quarter at $28.82."
