On May 8, 2025, Warner Bros. Discovery announced it is exploring a potential breakup to split its streaming, studio, and network businesses, aiming to boost shareholder value, per CNBC. Shares soared 8％ in Thursday trading, lifting peers like Paramount Global (up 1.5％), as investors cheered the strategic pivot, per Reuters X posts. The decision comes amid challenges from Trump’s 10％ baseline and 245％ China tariffs, which raise content production costs, per Yahoo Finance. CEO David Zaslav cited streaming losses and a 0.3％ Q1 GDP contraction as drivers for restructuring, per NPR. Analysts see the move as a way to attract buyers for assets like HBO or CNN, though tariff uncertainties and a high 4.65％ Treasury yield add risks, per Bloomberg. The media sector’s rally reflects optimism for leaner, focused entities.
