Paramount Skydance holds the leading position at 66.5% because it secured the winning all-cash bid in February 2026, obtained Warner Bros. Discovery shareholder approval in April, and received unconditional U.S. Department of Justice clearance in June after outbidding Netflix. Ongoing antitrust litigation filed by twelve state attorneys general and the Writers Guild of America in July has produced a federal court pause, with trial scheduled for early 2027. This timeline raises the chance the transaction misses the June 30, 2027 cutoff reflected in the 18.5% “none” share. Comcast and Netflix remain at negligible levels after withdrawing from the process.
