On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Shares of Netflix (NFLX) moved higher in premarket trading as Warner Bros. Discovery plans to reject Paramount Skydance’s takeover bid due to concerns about financing and other terms, according to sources. After deliberating and reviewing Paramount’s bid, Warner Bros.’ board will urge shareholders to reject the tender offer, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information. The board still views the company’s existing agreement with streaming leader Netflix as offering greater value, certainty and terms than what Paramount has proposed.
- Shares of Frontier Group Holdings (ULCC) soared in the early session with bankrupt Spirit Aviation Holdings in revived discussions to merge with the parent of the eponymous airline in a deal that could rescue the deep-discount airline from insolvency at a time of stiff competition from larger US carriers, according to people familiar. A merger between the airlines would mark a significant step for Spirit, which filed its second bankruptcy in less than a year in August. A tie-up would also be an acknowledgment that the pioneering deep-discount carriers need greater heft to compete in the current industry environment.
- Shares of Lennar (LEN) declined ahead of the US market open after the homebuilder forecast 1Q orders, deliveries and margins all below expectations, signaling strains on the housing market despite a lower interest rate. The builder also posted lower-than-expected orders and margins for 4Q.
