Netflix Stock Split: Netflix Stock Slides as $82B Warner Bros. Megadeal Shakes Hollywood
Netflix has stunned the entertainment world by securing a massive $82 billion takeover of Warner Bros., instantly becoming the largest content power house in streaming history. The deal includes HBO, Warner Bros. Pictures, and iconic franchises like Harry Potter, Batman, and Game of Thrones.
But Wall Street isn’t cheering yet.
NFLX shares slipped on December 6, 2025, as investors reacted to the enormous debt needed to finance the acquisition, along with growing fears of antitrust pushback and a complicated integration process.
Analysts say the move could redefine global entertainment but warn the near-term risk is high. Regulators in the U.S. and EU are already preparing for intense scrutiny, and Netflix’s margins were under pressure even before the deal.
This is the biggest entertainment shake-up of the decade one that could either crown Netflix the undisputed king of streaming or trigger one of its toughest financial battles yet.
