Arete Research analysts on July 10 raised concerns regarding Paramount Skydance Corp.'s proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, projecting a 79% downside for Paramount and questioning management's experience with the substantial debt expected from the merger. On the same day, the UK began considering intervention in the Paramount-Skydance acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery over media plurality concerns, highlighting the involvement of billionaires Larry and David Ellison. This follows a July 9 announcement that a coalition of U.S. states is preparing to challenge Paramount’s proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, which could lead to a significant media industry antitrust battle. Earlier on July 9, Paramount filed a response to Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield's motion to block the $110 billion merger, arguing that the state's challenge was not based on antitrust law.
