Paramount Global's Leadership Shake-Up Amidst Merger TalksParamount Global ( NASDAQ:PARA ), home to iconic brands like CBS, MTV, and Paramount Pictures, recently made headlines with the abrupt departure of CEO Bob Bakish and the announcement of a new leadership structure. Bakish's exit comes amidst speculation surrounding the company's potential merger with Skydance Media and strategic disagreements with Paramount's controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone. CEO Shake-Up: Bob Bakish, who led Paramount since 2019, was replaced by a trio of seasoned executives forming an "Office of the CEO," including George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy, and Brian Robbins. Bakish's departure marks a significant development, signaling a shift in leadership dynamics and strategic direction within the company. Merger Talks and Strategic Disputes: Bakish's exit coincides with Paramount's potential merger with Skydance Media, a move that could reshape the media landscape. However, reports suggest that Bakish clashed with Shari Redstone over strategic initiatives, including the Skydance merger and the potential sale of Showtime. Redstone's push for aggressive strategic moves, coupled with Bakish's reservations, highlights the tension between management and controlling shareholders in navigating Paramount's future. Financial Implications and Shareholder Concerns: Bakish's departure comes with a hefty golden parachute of approximately $50 million, raising eyebrows among shareholders. Amidst merger talks and strategic uncertainties, large common shareholders, including Mario Gabelli's Gamco Investors, have expressed concerns over the dilution of common shareholders' interests and the company's overall direction. Paramount's declining market value post-Viacom-CBS merger underscores the urgency for strategic clarity and effective leadership. Streaming Strategy and Content Monetization: Paramount's pivot towards streaming, epitomized by the launch of Paramount+ and the acquisition of Pluto TV, reflects the industry's evolving landscape. Bakish's supporters credit him for the company's strides in streaming and maintaining CBS's industry position. However, challenges persist in monetizing content and competing in the crowded streaming market amidst mounting losses in Paramount's legacy TV business.

Sony & Apollo Join Forces in a Bid to Acquire Paramount GlobalSony Pictures Entertainment and Apollo Global Management are currently in talks to explore the possibility of submitting a joint bid to acquire Paramount Global. This information was obtained from an anonymous source who is familiar with the matter. The two companies have not yet approached Paramount ( NASDAQ:PARA ), which is currently in exclusive negotiations with Skydance Media, an independent studio headed by David Ellison. Despite this, some investors have encouraged Paramount to consider alternative options. If the competing bid comes to fruition, it would involve cash payments for all outstanding Paramount shares ( NASDAQ:PARA ), and result in the company becoming privately owned. The source revealed that Sony would own a majority stake in the joint venture and would operate the media company, along with its library of films and television shows, such as "Star Trek," "Mission: Impossible," "Indiana Jones," and SpongeBob SquarePants. Sony Pictures Entertainment Chairman, Tony Vinciquerra, a seasoned media executive with significant experience in the film and television industry, would likely be tasked with running the studio, leveraging Sony's marketing and distribution expertise. Due to restrictions on foreign ownership of broadcast stations, the source stated that Apollo would likely assume control of the CBS broadcast network and its local television stations. Sony's parent corporation is based in Tokyo, Japan. The New York Times initially reported the ongoing discussions between Sony and Apollo. Both Sony and Paramount have declined to comment on the matter, and Apollo could not be reached for comment. Previously, Apollo had made an offer of $26 billion to acquire Paramount Global ( NASDAQ:PARA ), whose enterprise value at the end of 2023 was estimated to be around $22.5 billion. However, a special committee of Paramount's board elected to continue with its advanced deal talks with Skydance, rather than pursuing a deal "that might not actually come to fruition," according to two people with knowledge of the board's actions. The committee is currently assessing the feasibility of acquiring the smaller independent studio in a stock deal worth around $4 billion to $5 billion. Skydance is also reportedly in negotiations to acquire National Amusements, a company that holds the Redstone family's controlling interest in Paramount. However, this transaction is contingent upon a Skydance-Paramount merger. Technical Outlook Paramount Global ( NASDAQ:PARA ) shares quickly responded to the development besieging it surging by 8.3% from a weekly low of $10.03. The stock has a Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 54.24. Moreover, traders need to be cautious as the stock is trading below the 200 and 100-day Moving Averages (MA) igniting a concern about its bullish trend. The question is will it keep surging? or test a new support level eventually.

Paramount (PARA) Flirting with Historical Support, Time to Buy?Hi Guys. As usual always on the lookout for Macro trend setups, signs and opportunities. PARA seems to be in a position of low risk trade setup. We have made it to a Historical Support level, where interactions here normally leads to bounces upward. Please note however that previous history does not mean it is 100% probable that it will repeat. HOwever, being in a downtrend for some time now. It is likely that there maybe DEMAND in this area. Its important to watch for signs of confirmation of Support. This weeks candle may show signs. It is a Hammer candle printing at the bottom of a downtrend since January. Lower wick indicates buy pressure or demand. Notice ABOVE we have a resistance trendline. Note if we bounce from here, that will be our area to watch. This resistance trendline has been dragging us down since April 2022. We could also be attempting to form a double bottom. Recently there is also an uptick in VOLUME, which can indicate support of the demand currently seen at this support lvl. Ive added 2 indicators. MACD shows that we have not reached ABOVE the 0 lvl in quite sometime. Hinting to the idea that eventually we will. Notice also the presence of Bullish Divergence with MACD and price action. Watch for the change in color of the histobars to light red. This will suppport the idea of waning bearish momentum. The presence of a bullish cross is also vital to watch for. Now notice RSI. Our current RSI as indicated by orange circle, shows flattening of the RSI. This shows buying is stalling the sell off. However, notice the rectangles highlighting previous flattening of RSI. There is a possibility of RSI continuing downward. An important sign for the RSI in my opinion would be if RSI can move above the resistance trendline. This thinking ahead, can coincide with breaking the Major resistance in price action. Regardless of what happens, right now we are in a critical area and pushes for observation. __________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for taking the time to read my analysis.

PARAMOUNT: The Golden Cross won't save it. Strong short.Paramount is technically at the very high bullish levels on the 1D timeframe (RSI = 67.184, MACD = 49.860, ADX = 37.093) and just formed the first 4H Golden Cross since January 30th 2023. Being very close to the top of almost a 2 year Channel Down, this rise appears to be coming to an end. Being fairly similar to the Feb 1st peak, both in terms of % range (+65% against +60%) and timing on the 4H Golden Cross, we expect a similar pullback to on a 2 month basis. First target the 0.382 Fibonacci and 1D MA50 (TP1 = 14.25) and on the next bounce, the 0.618 Fibonacci (TP2 = 12.65). ## If you like our free content follow our profile to get more daily ideas. ## ## Comments and likes are greatly appreciated. ##

Paramount Jumps on Report to Bundle Streaming Service With AppleParamount Global (PARA) - shares jumped Today 1st December following a report that suggested the group is in early-stage talks to bundle its content with Apple (AAPL) . Paramount and Apple are looking to create a streaming bundle that will be priced at a discount to rivals such as Netflix (NFLX) - by combining content from Paramount+ and Apple TV+ into a single offering. The Journal reported similar plans from Netflix and Comcast (CMCSA). Streaming services are looking to win over new customers who have weathered sharp price increases across all major streaming hubs over the past 12 months. Paramount Global shares were marked 3% higher in early Friday trading to change hands at $14.80 each while Apple edged 0.1% lower to $189.78 each. Netflix, meanwhile, slipped 0.2% to $473.00 each. Paramount Q3 results had lagged estimates Paramount cautioned investors last month that a slump in ad sales and intensifying competition would clip its current-quarter earnings. It posted weaker-than-expected third-quarter profit of 39 cents a share on revenue of $6.92 billion. Ad sales, Paramount said, were down 4% from a year earlier to $363 million, leading to a 5% decline in revenue for its TV Media division, the group's largest. Paramount, which changed its name from ViacomCBS earlier this year, owns the Paramount CBS, Showtime, MTV and Comedy Central brands and hopes to have at least 100 million streaming subscribers by the end of 2024. Third-quarter subscription revenue was up 59% from a year earlier to $863 million, paced by growth in its Paramount+ streaming offering, which includes NFL games and soccer matches from the UEFA Champions League. Price Momentum PARAA is trading in the middle of its 52-week range and below its 200-day simple moving average. What does this mean? Investors are still evaluating the share price, but the stock still appears to have some downward momentum. This is a neutral sign for the stock's future value.

A Beautiful Turnaround in PARAThe market for streaming and entertainment has certainly become highly saturated, but few have as good of a setup as PARA does right now. The company is still profitable and trading well below its book value. Clean balance sheet and fundamentally attractive based on Joel Greenblatt's "Magic Formula" criteria (see MagicFormulaInvesting.com - Minimum Market Cap: SEED_TVCODER77_ETHBTCDATA:5B , Top 50 Stocks, as of today 11/27/23). On top of that, the Stock just had a beautiful bounce off of its 2020 low with no resistance in sight. Volatility is a major factor here and position sizing should be controlled accordingly, but the reward/risk ratio seems well in favor of the bulls in this situation.
