Warner Bros. Discovery Lost $20 Billion in Market Cap Trying to Cut $3 Billion in Costs
Since completing its April 8th merger, Warner Bros. Discovery has been on a cost-cutting frenzy, with an announced goal of finding $3 billion in savings.

Importantly, this isn’t an apples-to-apples comparison. WBD is trying to save $3 billion in cash, while market cap is the stock market’s estimate of a company’s total value, found by taking the amount of stock in circulation and multiplying that by the stock’s price.

Still, a younger sitcom writer (Rachel Bloom) is adamant on rebooting Step Right Up for Hulu...
