Bernstein lowered its price target for Skydance from USD 12.00 to USD 6.00 on October 15, 2026, while retaining an Underperform rating, according to Markets Insider. The stock was trading at EUR 6.37 at Lang & Schwarz on October 20, 2026 at 4:05 p.m. CEST.

Bernstein cuts its target

The target reduction leaves Bernstein's stated valuation at USD 6.00, compared with the previous USD 12.00 target. The analyst cited concerns about synergies, free cash flow generation, leverage and the balance sheet, Markets Insider reported on October 16, 2026.

Revenue rose as profit fell

Paramount Skydance reported USD 6.91 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 0.90 percent from the prior-year quarter. Net profit attributable to the parent was USD 41.00 million, down 28.10 percent from USD 57.00 million a year earlier, according to StockWatch.

Synergies remain the key test

The company's investor-relations page said on October 6, 2026 that the combined group was targeting at least USD 6.00 billion in run-rate synergies within three years. The same update described a larger entertainment portfolio spanning film studios, streaming services and television assets, including CBS and HBO, Skydance said.

Stock price and business scale

Paramount Skydance's market capitalization was USD 10.6 billion as of October 5, 2026. The company operates in entertainment production and has 17,600 full-time employees, with Paramount+, Pluto TV and BET+ among its streaming platforms.

What the target cut means

The contrast between USD 6.91 billion in quarterly revenue and USD 41.00 million in parent-attributable profit puts execution and balance-sheet progress alongside the merger's planned synergies. Bernstein's USD 6.00 target is now below the EUR 6.37 German-market price only in a different currency, so no direct euro-to-dollar valuation comparison is made.
