Analysts praised the agreement reached this week between Warner Bros. Discovery

WBD+2.21%
Get Free Report
and the National Basketball Association (NBA) that will see an extension of the
two companies’ partnership for 11 years.

As part of the deal, TNT Sports will be licensed to other companies and Warner
Bros. will get exclusive rights to NBA games in some international markets. The
deal will also see ESPN, a unit of The Walt Disney Company

DIS+0.23%
Get Free Report
, partner with Warner Bros. to license the popular basketball studio show
"Inside the NBA."

The Analyst Takeaways: "This appears to be as positive of an outcome as
investors could have hoped for, considering loss of domestic distribution," Bank
of America’s Jessica Reif Ehrlich said in a Monday analyst note.

Finalized

Ehrlich, calling the deal "a best case scenario," reiterated a Buy rating on
Warner Bros. Discovery with a $12 price target.

Warner Bros. Discovery avoids having to pay expensive sports rights fees while
still getting global rights to some hit shows, she explained.

The company will also receive licensing revenue from Disney for "Inside the
NBA."

"In totality, we estimate today's announcements could yield a healthy annual
profit for the company,” Ehrlich added.

Ehrlich said Warner Bros. Discovery will now televise exclusive Big 12 football
and men's basketball games starting in the 2025 season.

"WBD continues to add sports rights to its portfolio which in the aggregate,
should help partially offset the loss of the domestic NBA distribution."

Outside of the NBA deal, Ehrlich also sees Warner Bros. Discovery's upcoming
renewal with Comcast Corporation

CMCSA+1.54%
Get Free Report
as a potential future catalyst.

A recent renewal with Charter saw Warner Bros. Discovery still net a strong rate
for TNT carriage fees, despite losing future NBA rights, the analyst added.

"If these terms can be more broadly replicated in the upcoming CMCSA renewal,
that would go a long way in assuaging any remaining concerns."

Price Action: Warner Bros. Discovery stock is up 0.32% to $9.50 at last check
Tuesday versus a 52-week trading range of $6.64 to $12.68.

The company’s stock is down 19% year-to-date in 2024, but shares have risen over
25% in the last month.

THE NEW ECONOMY: WHAT DOES BITCOIN'S METEORIC RISE BODE? CROSSROADS SUMMIT 2024,
JUST DAYS AWAY, OFFERS INSIGHT FROM INDUSTRY LEADERS AND EXPERTS

by James Blacker


November 21, 2024 8:28 AM | 5 min read | Make a Comment

Partner Disclosure

The 2024 Crossroads Summit is just a few days away – get your tickets for this
future-focused event by clicking here! Nearly 16 years have passed since the
elusive Satoshi Nakamoto mined Bitcoin's genesis block on Jan. 3, 2009,
launching what would become the largest and most popular cryptocurrency.
Originally conceived as a decentralized alternative to traditional currencies,
Bitcoin has undergone rapid growth and become a significant store of value,
substantially altering the financial landscape With Bitcoin soaring to new
heights in November, the upcoming Crossroads Summit brings together experts in
the cryptocurrency and blockchain space to discuss the future of Bitcoin and the
rise of alternative hard assets Bitcoin hit an all-time high of slightly over
$90,000 on Nov. 12, following a 35% surge sparked by President-elect Donald
Trump's election victory a week earlier. Trump's White House return is
considered bullish for the cryptocurrency industry, with the president-elect
having indicated that he will implement favorable regulation With Bitcoin now
trading at record levels, many analysts are projecting that it could hit
$100,000 before the end of the year. Among them, is Chris Sullivan, co-founder
and portfolio manager of Hyperion Decimus and one of the speakers at this
month's Crossroads Summit, to be held on Nov. 21 and 22 in Miami, Florida.
Sullivan and other cryptocurrency experts will be speaking at a panel discussion
on the second day of the conference titled "The New Economy: Bitcoin and the
Rise of Alternative Hard Assets."

ALPHABET BLEEDS OVER $120 BILLION IN MARKET VALUE, EYES WORST DAY IN 10 MONTHS
AFTER DOJ DEMANDS GOOGLE CHROME SALE

by Piero Cingari, Benzinga Staff Writer


November 21, 2024 12:28 PM | 3 min read | Make a Comment


ZINGER KEY POINTS

 * Alphabet shares plunge over 6%, erasing $120 billion in market value and
   dropping its valuation below the $2 trillion mark.
 * Forced Chrome divestiture would threaten Alphabet’s ad revenue, with "Search
   & Other" contributing $175 billion — 56% of 2023 total revenue.


Shares of Alphabet Inc. GOOGL GOOG plunged more than 6% during Thursday morning
trading in New York, marking their steepest decline since January 2024. The drop
has wiped out over $120 billion in market capitalization, dragging Alphabet's
valuation below the critical $2 trillion threshold The sharp decline follows the
U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) announcement of sweeping remedies in its
high-profile antitrust lawsuit against Google On Wednesday, the DOJ proposed
measures aimed at curbing Google's dominance in search and digital advertising,
potentially reshaping Alphabet’s core business operations Regulators view Chrome
as a cornerstone of Alphabet's ability to consolidate its dominance in both
search and ad tech markets. This divestiture would mark an unprecedented
government intervention into one of the tech giant’s most integrated and
profitable ecosystems
