05:53 AM EDT, 10/31/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Netflix ( NFLX ) is assessing a potential offer for Warner Bros Discovery's ( WBD ) studio and streaming operations after hiring Moelis & Co to advise on a deal, Reuters reported Friday, citing three sources familiar with the matter.

The company has reportedly been given access to a financial data room to review Warner Bros Discovery's ( WBD ) numbers ahead of any proposal.

Moelis previously advised Skydance Media on its successful offer for Paramount Global (PSKY), the news outlet reported.

Netflix ( NFLX ) and Warner Bros Discovery ( WBD ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.

Shares of Netflix ( NFLX ) were up by over 2.9%, while Warner Bros Discovery's ( WBD ) shares were up by more than 2.5% in recent Friday premarket activity.
