This is bound to fail. Sony signing an NDA is a red flag.


LOL, Sony signing an NDA is literally a necessary step in moving forward with an M&A.

That Sony is signing an NDA means this is moving forward to examine the financials of Paramount something that is legally required for due diligence before doing an M&A. It means they're obviously still interested and reports that they were reconsidering the bid, definitely were a bit overblown. It might not end up being the 26B bid, but unless Sony finds something radioactive in their books, an official bid of some sort is coming.

Sony is entirely unlikely to just back out of the deal as some suggested. That would look completely incompetent.

@Sircaw is there anything that can be done about clear trolling here?
