The fourth quarter earnings report of the streaming industry leader looks good—revenue reached $120.5 billion, surpassing the market expectation of $119.6 billion; earnings per share were $0.56, slightly ahead of the forecast of $0.55. However, the market's reaction was unexpected; the stock price not only did not rise but continued to decline.
Even more interesting is that the company made a major adjustment in its merger and acquisition plans for Warner Bros. Discovery Channel. The original plan was a $82.7 billion hybrid deal (cash + stock), but it has now been changed to a full cash transaction. The purpose of this move is very clear—speed up the transaction process. But judging from the stock price performance, investors do not seem to be impressed by these good news. As of the latest quote, the stock price is at $87.26, approaching the lowest level in the past 52 weeks.

Good results actually cause a sell-off, this is the real sign that the bad news is fully priced in.
Everyone is dumping stocks, and I'm starting to wonder who truly knows the inside story.
Using all cash for mergers and acquisitions... all the money is spent here, can the future cash flow guidance look good?
The stock price is approaching a one-year low, yet people are still talking about good news. Investors have already voted with their feet.
This is the Web3 era—good data is not as effective as a compelling narrative.

Damn, the performance is good but the price is falling? What kind of magical script is this? I really can't understand the current market logic.

No matter how beautiful the numbers are, they can't save it. Investors have already seen through it... With 82.7 billion in cash poured in, can this really save the situation?
