Paramount-Skydance delays Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition to as late as June as shares slide 3%

AI Market Summary
A U.S. federal judge paused and effectively forced a delay of Paramount-Skydance’s proposed Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition amid a multistate antitrust lawsuit, pushing the timeline to as late as next June. The ruling elevates regulatory risk around large media consolidation, undermining deal certainty and M&A-driven valuation support. Paramount shares fell after the development, and the decision may pressure broader media merger expectations.
