Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Opinion On Shares Of Paramount Skydance Corporation

11:50 AM EDT, 05/05/2026 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We lower our target by $1 to $12 using a forward TEV/EBITDA of 6.6x that bears M&A and execution risk. Our target is supported by a conservative view vs. the five-year historical average at 9.4x. We think our target is justified given uncertainties about whether PSKY will close Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD 27 ***). We do have concerns that the WBD acquisition could be challenging with excessive debt. The $31/share all-cash offer for WBD, backed by $57.5B in debt financing, represents an existential risk to PSKY's financial stability. If the deal closes in Q3 2026, the combined entity's total debt would exceed $70B (PSKY's current $13.65B plus WBD's existing debt plus new acquisition financing), creating a leverage ratio that would result in junk credit ratings, significantly higher borrowing costs, and need to drive $6B in cost synergy savings. Any regulatory delays beyond the Q3 2026 target would increase costs and prolong uncertainty, potentially leading to talent attrition or missed market opportunities.
