Paramount Reports Q2 2026 Results August 4 With Merger Blocked and 516 Million in Deal Costs
Paramount is set to release second-quarter 2026 earnings on August 4, against a backdrop of a court-ordered halt on its planned $110 billion merger with Warner Bros. Discovery and $516 million in estimated transaction costs filed with the SEC. A ticking-fee provision of roughly $0.00277778 per share per day begins accruing after September 30 if the deal remains unclosed, while a preliminary injunction hearing was scheduled for August 3. Q1 2026 results showed $7.35 billion in consolidated revenue and 79.6 million Paramount+ paid subscribers, with Q2 revenue guidance of $6.75 billion to $6.95 billion below Wall Street estimates due to the absence of NCAA Final Four and major film releases.
