**Netflix and Paramount Skydance are vying for a potential acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, with Netflix currently leading after gaining shareholder support. The proposed deal could cost around $83 billion and would significantly bolster Netflix’s position in the streaming market by adding HBO Max’s 128 million subscribers to its existing 325 million. However, antitrust concerns may arise, as U.S. Senator Mike Lee has indicated that the merger could impede market competition.**
**Should this acquisition fall through, it could provide a rebound opportunity for Netflix’s stock, which is trading near a 52-week low, down nearly 40% from its peak. The implications of the acquisition could impact investor confidence amid ongoing uncertainty about the future of the streaming industry.**
