Paramount's Bond Sale Exceeds Expectations Amid Rising Costs for Warner Bros Deal
Paramount Skydance Corp. has attracted demand exceeding three times its expected $30 billion bond offering to finance its $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The deal includes $42 billion in bonds and $9.5 billion in loans, making it one of the largest high-grade debt issuances this year. However, delays and rising Treasury yields have increased borrowing costs, potentially adding hundreds of millions in annual interest. Paramount aims to reduce costs by $6 billion annually within three years to manage its substantial debt load post-merger.
