# It is reported that Netflix plans to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, focusing on high-quality media assets such as HBO

According to foreign media reports, Warner Bros. Discovery, which is considering a sale, may be acquired by Netflix, which has proposed a cash-heavy deal. If the transaction is finalized, it will rewrite the media market in the United States.

Warner Bros. Discovery, which is up for sale, has been heavily in debt in recent years but also holds stakes in several well-known companies, including HBO, CNN, and Warner Bros. Pictures. Warner Bros. Discovery originally planned to restructure the group into two parts: one focusing on streaming media and film production, and the other concentrating on developing cable networks. However, the market reacted lukewarmly to the restructuring, leading to the announcement in October this year to sell the entire group instead.

After Oracle founder Larry Ellison recently acquired Paramount, there are rumors that Paramount is interested in acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery. However, a "surprise" may emerge, as Bloomberg cites sources indicating that Netflix is raising a transitional financing of several billion dollars to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, with Netflix primarily focusing on the high-quality media assets owned by HBO and Warner Bros. Pictures, which have synergies with Netflix's own business.

However, the market generally believes that if Netflix proceeds with the acquisition, it will face strict antitrust scrutiny
