No shit, Sherlock.
Not even a PR bump at the NYSE is going to distract from the heavy unprecedented debt that they’re carrying.

…by starting the process of splitting three entities just in case.
We want CN / AS to be put under Warner Bros. TV Group, while the Nickelodeon Group will be put under CBS. We can’t afford to lose two brands to become one because of this current media consolidation that we’re in. And I’m making this plea in case the company falls apart…
Adult Swim has their own identity and branding for young adults, so does Comedy Central. I hope Skydance will make the right choice by having two brands to be remaining in their own distinctive divisions.
Having Nick to be as the only kids- centric entertainment brand for the company, while CN only focusing on their own identity, branding and being an all-animation brand for older kids, tweens, teens and nostalgic adults.
My only hope for the two most important animation-centric and kids & family legacy brands, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network. If Skydance really cares about their own cable assets that they claimed has value for them, they should revamp their programming and their branding for them.
What happens if their stocks keeps dropping throughout 2027? What would Skydance do?
Still ain’t enough. You need to get a bigger trillionaire investor.
No shit, Sherlock.
@hawkeyearrow25.bsky.social Hey, from what I can tell, Skydance’s new trading stock “SKYD” is down after the deal was closed.
No sign for a heavy investor, the Iran war is getting worse, bondholders’ pissed, $80b still sitting, and the industry is still not loving David Ellison.
@mvlakai.bsky.social I’m curious and concerned after the five year agreement from the settlement will expire, What would Skydance will do next?
Tomorrow, when the deal finally finalized, their stock goes down. The AI bubble will burst. And Oracle’s stock will crater along with the Skydance’s financing.
I just don’t know what to think anymore about this.
There should be a separation of handling both network groups under Skydance.
This merger makes no sense and grossly unnecessary.
The problem is for Skydance, is there $80 billion debt problem. Yes they sold off their debt (Paramount’s debt), but they’re all bonds, which is a bigger problem for them by adding more debt plus interest rates.
Believe me brother, we all do. But I’m seeing that Skydance is not prioritizing Paramount the way after they just bought and merged. I want WB to separated from the Ellisons as much as you do.
Also, CBS and other Viacom networks will be going with Paramount as well. While Skydance keeps WB, HBO, and the Turner/Discovery networks with them, and possibly splitting up or just renaming their corporate name as “Warner Skydance”. (Ugh.)
I see a scenario in one or two years that Skydance will see WB as a valuable asset than Paramount. And will eventually sell the studio, their libraries, their IPs and the Paramount+ service to another buyer.
I can’t read it, paywall.
