**Ongoing state antitrust litigation and a court-ordered pause make a 2026 close highly unlikely.** Paramount Skydance secured shareholder approval and DOJ clearance for its roughly $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery earlier in 2026, but 12 state attorneys general filed suit in July alleging reduced competition in streaming, film distribution, and cable. A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order, prompting the parties to agree in late July to delay closing until June 1, 2027, or a final court ruling. The related trial is now scheduled for March 2027 with a projected conclusion in April, creating a clear timeline barrier. While some international approvals have been secured and remedies discussions continue, the active U.S. litigation and extended deadline drive trader consensus toward “No” by year-end.
