Published on 10/01/2026 at 11:35 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Paramount Global (ISIN US92556V1061) stock was trading at EUR 15.69 at Lang & Schwarz on October 1, 2026 at 11:31 a.m. CEST, plus 0.19 percent versus the EUR 15.66 prior close on September 30, 2026. Paramount Global's successor, Paramount Skydance, and Warner Bros. Discovery announced on September 30 that their merger is expected to close on October 6, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, according to PR Newswire.
Merger date sets the next test
The announced October 6 date gives the transaction a defined near-term timetable after months of regulatory and litigation hurdles. The announced cash consideration for eligible Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders is USD 31.00 per share plus ticking consideration, which would total USD 31.01666668 if the deal closes on October 6, according to PR Newswire.
For Paramount Global stock, the key issue is execution after closing. Paramount Skydance has described the combined company as a media group spanning Studios, Direct-to-Consumer and TV Media, while the merger would add Warner Bros. Discovery assets to that structure.
Revenue beats the second-quarter estimate
Paramount Skydance reported USD 6.91 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, versus a USD 6.88 billion consensus estimate, a USD 0.03 billion difference. Adjusted earnings were USD 0.18 per share, above the USD 0.15 consensus estimate, according to Yahoo Finance.
The operating mix remains important. Paramount Plus revenue rose 16 percent in the second quarter to USD 2.06 billion, while the service ended the period with 81.6 million subscribers, according to INDmoney. TV Media revenue fell 9 percent to USD 3.13 billion, showing the contrast between streaming growth and pressure on traditional television.
Nasdaq listing gives way to NYSE
Paramount Skydance expects Nasdaq trading in its Class B stock to end at market close on October 5, 2026, with NYSE trading scheduled to begin on October 6, 2026. The company also set October 5 as the record date for a planned distribution of approximately 470 million warrants, subject to the merger closing, according to Paramount Skydance.
