Jim Cramer Comments on Netflix's Acquisition Ambitions for Warner Brothers Discovery

Jim Cramer included Netflix in his weekly stock game plan, anticipating the company's post-market results. He stated he expects a detailed explanation from Netflix on why it seeks to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery and is prepared to pay a significant amount for it.

Cramer remarked, "After the close, we get results from Netflix. I expect the treatise on why the company needs Warner Brothers Discovery, the object of its affection, and is willing to pay a fortune to get it. How big a fortune will it be? I think that's going to be determined by opponent, Paramount Skydance, which also wants the property. If Paramount, by the way, would just pay $34, this whole saga would end."

During the December 12, 2025 episode of his show, a caller inquired about Cramer's view on Netflix stock. In response, Cramer expressed his previous support for the stock but raised concerns about the acquisition pursuit.

He said, "It has been a buy for me all along until they got into this thing with the, with Paramount to buy... Warner Brothers. I mean, what is that? They've got the best studios in the world. They don't need that. Come on, Netflix."

Netflix is a provider of streaming entertainment services, offering TV series, films, documentaries, and games.
