Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) shares are set to rise 173.8% this year, marking the highest growth in four years, driven by a bidding war involving Netflix and Paramount Skydance. In contrast, Netflix's stock is projected to gain only 5.2% in 2025 after an 85% rise in 2024. Other media stocks like Comcast fell 20%, while Fox Corp rose 51.7%. The S&P 500 index gained approximately 17% this year, with acquisition bids significantly boosting Warner Bros Discovery's stock performance.
