Netflix Buys Warner Bros in a Massive Deal
Netflix has agreed to acquire Warner Bros. in a massive $82.7 billion deal.
The streaming giant, led by co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters, secured $59 billion in financing to fund the acquisition, which includes a $5.8 billion breakup fee if the deal falls through.
Warner Bros. shareholders will receive $23.25 in cash and $4.50 in Netflix stock per share, while Warner Bros. networks (CNN, TNT, HGTV, and Discovery+) will spin off in Q3 2026, with CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels as its new CEO.
Netflix promised to preserve Warner Bros.’ operations, including its film releases, while expanding studio capabilities and generating $2-3 billion in annual cost savings.
The merger is intended to enhance user choices, optimize plans and create more value for talent by combining Netflix’s global reach with Warner Bros.’ iconic franchises like DC Comics, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.
The deal faces regulatory hurdles, with theater owners seeing it as a threat with concerns over industry impacts.
I believe this is a strategic and intelligent move by Netflix to command the market and add to its product offerings.

The 60/40 Portfolio: Resurrected and Thriving in 2025
In the whirlwind of 2025’s stock market, a year that has been marked by AI hype, surges in crypto (though not recently) and election drama, the humble 60/40 portfolio has staged quite the comeback.
This portfolio is a classic allocation of 60% stocks / 40% bonds, which was dismissed as “outdated” not too long ago, but is now outperforming a ton of hedge funds.
Why you ask?
Because Bonds are yielding over 4% again, providing investors like you a reliable stream of income, while stocks continue to trade at nosebleed valuations. This portfolio split has now become a smart hedge against volatility.
The Current State of the Bond Market
Let’s start with the bond market.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield sits around 4% today, up from sub 1% in the pandemic era.
This growth in the 10-year Treasury stems from the Fed’s rate cuts during a period of slowing job markets, yet persistent inflation in the economy has maintained yield attractiveness.
For you, it means fixed income isn’t just a safety net, its now an income generator. And that flip is enough to attract new capital into the market.
When paired with stocks, which are significantly overvalued as of right now, it provides for more balance within your portfolio.
When equities become pricey (as they are now) bonds start to shine by cushioning drawdowns.
The proof is in the performance.
BlackRock’s 60/40 Target Allocation Fund has delivered returns of 15.36% YTD (as at Nov 29), outpacing the return of many large cap stock funds.
For hedge funds, the average return YTD sits around 14% YTD (as at Nov 29).
While some hedge funds perform better than others, many lagged the 60/40 split.
Although the returns appear close, hedge funds come with their own set of fees due to the active management of the fund, eroding your returns over time.
The 60/40 split boasts expense ratios of less than 0.1%, allowing you to keep more of your money in your pockets.
The lesson here?
In an expensive stock market with yielding bonds, simplicity wins.
The 60/40 isn't flashy, but its low-correlation magic (stocks for growth, bonds for stability) is quietly beating hedge fund pros.
As we enter the uncertainties of 2026, consider reallocating your portfolio. It may save your retirement (if you’re nearing that stage of life).
