Paramount and Netflix Bidding War: How Much Is Warner’s Cable Business Really Worth? David Ellison believes that the cable network spinoff has no equity value, but the Warner Bros. Discovery board begs to differ

My question is, if it has no value then why do they want it so badly?

Paramount Skydance said “time is of the essence” in its lawsuit seeking to force Warner Bros. Discovery to divulge more financial info about its deal with Netflix. But a judge disagreed with that assessment.

On Thursday, Delaware Chancery Court judge Morgan T. Zurn dismissed Paramount’s motion to expedite the lawsuit against WBD, which seeks details on how WBD valued the overall Netflix transaction as well as the proposed Discovery Global networks spin-off. David Ellison, Paramount Skydance’s CEO and chairman, is waging a hostile takeover bid aimed at persuading Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders that his company’s all-cash $30/share offer for WBD in its entirety is superior to Netflix’s agreement to buy Warner Bros.’s studios and streaming businesses for $27.75/share.
