华纳兄弟探索(Warner Bros. Discovery)周二表示,在Netflix——该公司去年同意收购的娱乐公司——给予华纳七天时间探索新报价后,它将重启与派拉蒙斯凯丹斯(Paramount Skydance)的收购谈判。
华纳兄弟探索在新闻稿中表示,将与派拉蒙斯凯丹斯(CBS新闻母公司)接洽,讨论其每股30美元的报价,并明确交易条款。
华纳兄弟探索还称,派拉蒙斯凯丹斯的”高级代表”已告知华纳董事会一名成员,该公司将把报价提高至每股31美元,并可能讨论进一步提高报价的可能性。
派拉蒙斯凯丹斯曾表示,其对华纳兄弟探索的报价在财务上优于Netflix每股27.75美元的报价,且更有可能获得联邦反垄断监管机构的批准。
根据Netflix的交易条款,这家流媒体巨头将收购华纳兄弟探索的电影工作室(其电影包括《哈利·波特》系列、《黑客帝国》和《卡萨布兰卡》)及其流媒体资产。派拉蒙则提议收购华纳兄弟探索的全部业务,包括其CNN、TBS、TNT和其他有线电视资产。
华纳兄弟探索首席执行官大卫·扎斯拉夫(David Zaslav)在一份声明中表示:”在整个过程中,我们一直向[派拉蒙斯凯丹斯]明确指出其报价中的不足,并为其提供了改进的机会。我们现在与[派拉蒙斯凯丹斯]接洽,是为了确定他们是否能通过最终且具有约束力的提议,为华纳兄弟探索的股东提供更高价值和确定性。”
Netflix表示,华纳兄弟探索需在2月23日前与派拉蒙斯凯丹斯谈判可能的交易。
华纳兄弟探索表示,其董事会仍建议投资者投票支持与Netflix的交易。股东定于3月20日就Netflix的收购报价进行投票。
周二的媒体发布中,Netflix表达了对其报价将通过反垄断执法机构审查的信心,并表示该收购将惠及消费者。
“Netflix与华纳兄弟的合并将加强娱乐行业,为消费者保留选择和价值,并为创作者提供更多机会。”
派拉蒙斯凯丹斯的媒体代表未立即回应置评请求。
早盘交易中,华纳兄弟探索股价上涨63美分,涨幅2.2%,收于28.61美元。派拉蒙斯凯丹斯股价上涨6.4%,Netflix股价下跌1.6%。

Warner Bros. Discovery restarts takeover talks with Paramount Skydance
February 17, 2026 / 10:33 AM EST / CBS News
Warner Bros. Discovery said on Tuesday that it will resume acquisition talks with Paramount Skydance after Netflix, which last year agreed to buy the entertainment company, gave Warner seven days to explore a new offer.
Warner Bros. Discovery said in a news release that it would engage with Paramount Skydance (the parent company of CBS News) to discuss the company’s $30 per share bid and clarify terms of the deal.
Warner Bros. Discovery also said that a “senior representative” for Paramount Skydance had informed a member of Warner’s board of directors that it would raise its bid to $31 per share and potentially discuss further enhancing its offer.
Paramount Skydance has said its bid for Warner Bros. Discovery is financially superior to Netflix’s $27.75 per share offer and that it is more likely to receive approval from federal antitrust regulators.
Under the Netflix deal, the streaming giant would acquire Warner Bros. Discovery’s movie studio, whose films include the “Harry Potter” franchise, “The Matrix” and “Casablanca,” and its streaming assets. Paramount has proposed buying all of Warner Bros. Discovery, including its CNN, TBS, TNT and other cable TV properties.
“Every step of the way, we have provided [Paramount Skydance] with clear direction on the deficiencies in their offers and opportunities to address them,” Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said in a statement. “We are engaging with [Paramount Skydance] now to determine whether they can deliver an actionable, binding proposal that provides superior value and certainty for WBD shareholders through their best and final offer.”
Netflix said Warner Bros. Discovery has until Feb. 23 to negotiate a possible deal with Paramount Skydance.

Warner Bros. Discovery said its board of directors is still advising investors to vote in favor of its deal with Netflix. Shareholders are scheduled to vote on the Netflix bid on March 20.
In a media release on Tuesday, Netflix expressed confidence that its offer would pass muster with antitrust enforcers and said the acquisition would benefit consumers.
“A combined Netflix and Warner Bros. will strengthen the entertainment industry, preserve choice and value for consumers and give creators more opportunities.
Media representatives for Paramount Skydance didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
In early trading, Warner Bros. Discovery shares rose 63 cents, or 2.2%, to $28.61. Paramount Skydance’s stock climbed 6.4%, and Netflix dipped 1.6%.
