Warner Bros Discovery Stock Plummets 35.49% in Volume, Ranks 242nd as Split Plans Unveiled

On June 13, 2025, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) experienced a significant decline, with its trading volume dropping by 35.49% to 3.96 billion, ranking 242nd in the day's market activity. The stock price fell by 1.28%, marking the second consecutive day of decline, with a total decrease of 4.57% over the past two days.

Warner Bros. Discovery has announced plans to split into two separate publicly traded companies by mid-2026. This decision comes just three years after the merger between Warner Bros. and Discovery. The split aims to streamline the company's operations and focus on its core businesses. CEO David Zaslav will lead the studio and HBO Max division, while the cable channels will form a separate entity.

The announcement of the split has sparked mixed reactions from investors. While some see it as an opportunity to unlock value, others are cautious about the risks involved. The company's stock has been volatile since the merger, and the split could either stabilize or further disrupt its performance. The decision to split is part of a broader strategy to adapt to the changing media landscape and focus on growth areas.
