Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

Right.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

So, I mean, I'm comparing the trading price for WBD, Warner Brothers, for like a year, essentially.

Bloomberg Tech

It was falling and it hit about a $12 price before the first rumor of a P.Sky bid started the stock moving up.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

And then I can't remember the Larry Ellison first bid or the David Ellison first bid, but now we're up at $30 a share for the whole thing.

Bloomberg Tech

And that includes 27 from Netflix for studios.

Bloomberg Tech

Plus the idea is there'd be a $2, $3 stub left trading for the networks division, which would add up to $30 also.

Bloomberg Tech

But in theory, so anyway, I'm saying we're like at $30 for the comparable asset that was trading at $12 before Netflix.

the auction began for this asset.

Bloomberg Tech

So in streaming, in the streaming industry, Netflix has over 300 million global subscribers and HBO Max has 150.

Bloomberg Tech

So together, there's some duplication there, but let's just call it 450 subscribers, which is like 40% of the streaming market.

Bloomberg Tech

Whereas Paramount or Peace Guy, it's now called, has 75 million subscribers that you would add to the

Bloomberg Tech

HBO, which is 150, so now you're at 225 million subscribers.

Bloomberg Tech

Much smaller market share of streaming than if you combine Netflix, which is the industry leader, with Warner Brothers' HBO Max streaming asset.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

So I would say that's one reason.

Bloomberg Tech

And then the Hollywood studios, as you know, Netflix is one of the largest global creators of content.

Bloomberg Tech

And they would combine it with Warner Brothers, which is one of the largest global creators of content.

Bloomberg Tech
SpaceX Said to Pursue 2026 IPO

They have different windows, meaning distribution windows, meaning Netflix primarily creates for television, direct to streaming, the television screen.

Bloomberg Tech

And Warner Brothers primarily creates content

for both TV but also the film business.
