What the filing says
Warner Bros. Discovery reported Q2 2026 revenues of $8.7B (down 12% YoY ex-FX from $9.8B), with net income of $149M vs. $1.58B prior year. Streaming segment revenue grew 10% ex-FX to $3.08B with Adjusted EBITDA up 63% ex-FX to $512M (17% margin); Studios segment revenue collapsed 39% ex-FX to $2.33B with Adjusted EBITDA down 89% ex-FX to $96M, hurt by weak theatrical slate and NBA absence. Global Linear Networks revenue fell 17% ex-FX to $3.99B. Company refinanced $15B bridge loan with $13B + €1.7B term loans at SOFR + 250 bps / EURIBOR + 250 bps, generating ~150 bps annual interest savings. Free cash flow was $572M despite ~$350M separation transaction costs.
Why this rating
Significant operational turbulence: double-digit consolidated revenue decline, 89% Studios EBITDA drop offset by streaming gains. Debt refinance is positive (150 bps savings), but near-term earnings accretion limited. Relative to $28B market cap, $1.1B EBITDA decline is material but streaming momentum provides offset.
