WSJ What’s News · What’s News in Markets: AWS Outage, Warner Plans, Earnings Movers · 25 Oct 2025 podcast

Warner Bros.

Discovery debuted some big news this week.

The TV and film giant is putting itself up for sale.

Warner said it's exploring a potential sale of all or some of its media holdings, setting into motion a deal process that could reshape the future of the entertainment industry.

You may recall that the Wall Street Journal recently reported Warner has received and rebuffed multiple bids from rival Paramount Skydance.

Remember, Paramount recently wrapped up a deal of its own, its merger with Skydance.

Media dealmaking has been in the air as of late.

Paramount also just bet $150 million on a deal to acquire the news and opinion site The Free Press.

and made co-founder Barry Weiss editor-in-chief of CBS News.

So how did investors react to Warner's announcement?

Well, its shares jumped 11% on Tuesday, while Paramount's shares lost 2.8%.

And throughout the week, Warner continued higher, ultimately gaining 16%, while Paramount evened things out, ending less than 1% lower.

Last but not least, let's go through some big earnings movers.

First up, Netflix.

On Tuesday, Netflix reported higher quarterly profit and sales driven by membership growth, price hikes, and increased advertising revenue.

But its earnings missed expectations, which Netflix said was due to an expense connected to a Brazilian tax issue.

We certainly don't need to go into the details, but the bottom line, the stock fell 10% on Tuesday and lost 8.7% on a weekly basis.

We also had Tesla's report late Wednesday.

The takeaway?

A surge of electric car demand in the third quarter didn't give Tesla enough of a boost.
