Netflix Abandoning $82.7 Billion Acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery
In late February, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) officially withdrew from a proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery assets valued at $82.7 billion. This decision was met with positive reactions from Wall Street, as it signifies Netflix’s commitment to capital discipline, allowing the company to resume its share repurchase program. Furthermore, Netflix generated $9.5 billion in free cash flow in 2025.
Despite recent stock increases, Netflix’s shares are currently priced with high expectations, trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of approximately 37. Analysts project that Netflix’s revenue will grow by 12% to 14% in 2026, but competitive pressures may pose risks for sustained growth. To bolster its competitive edge, the company plans to invest $20 billion in films and series this year.
