Discovery, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery, added 5.3 million subscribers in the first quarter of 2025, bringing its total global streaming base to 122.3 million. This growth in subscriber numbers is a positive indicator for the company's streaming services, which have been a key focus area for Warner Bros. Discovery.

Warner Bros. Discovery is undergoing significant changes, including a major overhaul that involves splitting the company into two publicly traded entities. This strategic move aims to separate the streaming division from the cable business, allowing each segment to operate more independently and potentially unlock greater value for shareholders.

Additionally, the company's streaming service, Max, is reverting to its original branding as HBO Max. This rebranding effort is part of a broader strategy to enhance the service's appeal and competitiveness in the streaming market. The changes are expected to better position Warner Bros. Discovery in the rapidly evolving entertainment landscape.
