Prediction markets see 25% chance Paramount-Skydance fails Warner Bros. merger by July 2027 amid legal battles.

Prediction market traders estimate a roughly 25% chance that Paramount Skydance will fail to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery by July 2027. This is due to a lawsuit filed by 12 states aiming to block the merger, which has lowered the odds from over 80% before the lawsuit to around 74% currently. Paramount delayed the acquisition to 2027, further impacting the likelihood. A federal trial is set for March 2027, and if the deal doesn't close by September 30, Paramount must pay Warner Bros. shareholders a quarterly fee until completion. Industry groups have urged for negotiation or an earlier trial date to reduce uncertainty.
