Discovery in an all-cash $31/share deal, creating a $69B revenue entertainment giant.The transaction is enabled by $47B in equity from the Ellison family and RedBird Capital, minimizing leverage relative to deal size.Combined PSKY/WBD expects $6B in synergies, targeting $18B EBITDA and a net leverage ratio dropping from 6.5 to 3 within three years.Significant execution risk remains; until synergies materialize, I rate both PSKY and WBD as 'hold' due to valuation uncertainty.Looking for a helping hand in the market?
