Donald Trump has thrown fresh uncertainty over Netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX, XETRA:NFC) planned $72 billion takeover of Warner Bros Discovery Inc (NASDAQ:WBD, XETRA:J5A)y, warning that the combined group's enlarged market share “could be a problem”. His off-the-cuff remarks, made as he arrived at the Kennedy Center on Sunday, were enough to rattle both prediction markets and early trading, with bets on the deal closing by 2026 dropping sharply.
Donald Trump has said he will be "involved" in the decision on whether Netflix should be allowed to buy Warner Bros, as the $72bn (£54bn) deal attracts a media industry backlash.
U.S. stocks had a positive Friday, with the S&P 500 securing its ninth winning session in 10. Netflix to buy Warner Bros.
