Paramount Skydance (PSKY) has won the bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), but at a steep cost with significant regulatory risk. James Czerniawski outlines the $31-per-share deal and the added burden of a $2.8 billion breakup fee owed to Netflix (NFLX) after Paramount outbid the streamer. James adds that U.S., UK, and EU regulators tightening scrutiny of media mergers adds to headwinds for the merger.
