- Shares of Warner Bros Discovery plunged 12% in premarket trading on Thursday after a $9.1 billion write-down of the media giant 's TV assets sparked fresh concerns about its traditional broadcasting business.

The legacy media company, forged by the union of AT&T spinoffs WarnerMedia and Discovery in April 2022, has lost more than $40 billion in its market valuation since then."WBD's market cap is a fraction of what it was pre merger, which should make investors reconsider who really is enriched by giant media M&A deals," said Ross Benes, television and streaming analyst at eMarketer.
