On this episode of Stock Movers:
- Netflix (NFLX) has refinanced part of a $59 billion bridge loan to support its potential acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc.
The streaming giant secured a $5 billion revolving credit facility and two $10 billion delayed-draw term loans to refinance part of the bridge facility it took out for its Warner Bros. bid, according to a filing on Monday. That leaves $34 billion for syndication.
- Shares of Clearwater Analytics (CWAN) rallied in premarket trading as a group of private equity firms led by Permira and Warburg Pincus has agreed to acquire Clearwater in a deal valuing the investment and accounting software maker at $8.4 billion including debt. Clearwater investors would get $24.55 a share for an equity value of about $7 billion, according to a statement confirming an earlier report by Bloomberg News. The company said the price, which is roughly 10% higher than the stock’s last close, represents a 47% premium to the price on Nov. 10, before Bloomberg reported the two buyout firms were in talks to buy it.
- Shares of Datavault AI (DVLT) soared ahead of the US market open after the company announced the issuance of two U.S. patents supporting its push into AI-powered data monetization and blockchain-based content licensing. The patents, which enable automated smart contract enforcement and tokenized royalty distribution, bolster the company’s position in the $369 billion global content licensing market.
