Warner Bros. Discovery (Wbd) Sees 10% Jump on Strong Streaming Growth Projections
WBD is rallying today after predicting strong streaming subscriber growth throughout 2025 and anticipating a global subscriber base of at least 150 million by 2026. The company's fourth quarter financial results, however, fell short of expectations, with revenue down 2.5% and a loss per share of 20 cents. WBD expects to launch its Max streaming service in new overseas markets in 2026, despite weaker-than-expected Q4 results.
- This optimistic outlook on streaming growth suggests that Warner Bros. Discovery is betting big on the long-term viability of its content offerings, potentially setting it up for success in a crowded media landscape.
- Can WBD's focus on international expansion and new streaming services help mitigate the impact of declining linear TV viewership and the increasing competition from rival streaming services?
