PSKY stock has declined sharply, down 34% over the past six months, due to the uncertainty about the WBD acquisition as investors fear enhanced debt loading, regulatory scrutiny, and divided attention from CEO David Ellison.

Expectations from Paramount Skydance

The Street expects Paramount Skydance to report an adjusted loss of $0.01 per share, smaller than the prior-year period’s loss of $0.11 per share. Sales are forecast to rise 2.1% year-over-year to $8.15 billion. It is worth noting that PSKY has surpassed earnings expectations in six of the past eight consecutive quarters.

Results and management commentary are expected to reveal both new growth opportunities and ongoing integration challenges as the team works toward cost efficiencies and stronger content pipelines. The company has also secured major streaming/content partnerships with Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and “South Park” creators during the third quarter.

What Analysts Are Saying About Paramount

Wall Street has been analyzing the ongoing WBD bidding dynamics.

Raymond James analyst Ric Prentiss sees PSKY building momentum in its WBD bid by addressing concerns like breakup fees, debt costs, and bridge loan risks, through comprehensive remedies. He believes that PSKY may need to boost its headline cash offer by $2-$3 per share, as shareholders await a “best and final” bid before NFLX potentially matches. At the same time, he is concerned over PSKY’s heavy debt financing (>6x leverage) and timing pressures with WBD/NFLX shareholder vote set for March 20, 2026.

Needham analyst Laura Martin argued that PSKY could end the WBD bidding war immediately with a $34 per share bid, bypassing disputes over Discovery Global’s value. Netflix’s deal math shows no earnings accretion above $30/share in Martin’s base case. The key question, Laura noted, is Netflix’s discipline: will it walk away if PSKY bids significantly higher?

Moreover, Bernstein analyst Laurent Yoon reiterated his Sell rating and $12 price target, suggesting 12% upside potential. Barrington analyst Patrick Sholl maintained his Hold rating on PSKY.

Is PSKY Stock a Good Buy?

Analysts remain cautious on Paramount Skydance’s long-term outlook. On TipRanks, PSKY has a Moderate Sell consensus rating based on zero Buys, one Hold, and three Sell ratings. The average Paramount Skydance price target of $12.33 implies 16.1% upside potential from current levels.
