Paramount Global

Paramount Global's stock price declined 1.1% after China announced restrictions on Hollywood films, impacting PARA's international growth strategy and revenue streams [1]. This comes amidst ongoing US-China trade tensions, with potential for further tariffs [2]. The planned merger with Skydance Media received a 90-day extension to July [4]. Despite strong valuation metrics [5], Deutsche Bank downgraded PARA to "Hold" citing advertising revenue risks [7], while concerns remain about its weak revenue growth and declining EPS [3]. Shari Redstone, a director, recently acquired PARA shares through a deferred compensation plan [8].
