The culprit behind Netflix's recent price drops? That would be the ongoing buyout drama over Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ: WBD).
On Dec. 5, 2025, Netflix issued a negotiated buyout bid. In a fairly complex deal structure, Netflix would first allow Warner Bros. to separate itself from the Discovery-branded set of cable TV stations, as the company announced 7 months ago. Then, Netflix would let the Discovery business go and pursue an $82.7 billion cash-and-stock deal for the movie studio and streaming service assets remaining under the Warner Bros. name.
