Skydance plans $6B cost cuts after $110B Warner Bros. deal, with heavy debt and slow cash flow recovery.

Skydance announced plans to cut $6 billion in annual costs within three years following its $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The savings will come from cuts in operating expenses, real estate, procurement, technology, and marketing, but will require $1.5 to $2 billion in upfront costs in 2027. The company faces a heavy debt load of $87 billion and aims to reach a net leverage ratio of 3.0x by 2029, with free cash flow expected to break even or better in 2027. Analysts remain cautious due to the high costs before savings and lowered earnings estimates for 2027.

Skydance's cost-cutting plans provide context for media sector performance on Pluang. As of Nov 10, 2026 22:23 WIB, 16 of 57 priced US media stocks rose while 40 fell.
