Netflix is preparing to make an all-cash offer for Warner Bros Discovery’s studios and streaming businesses, according to global news agencies.

Netflix shares rose 1.02% at the close of trading on Tuesday, while Warner Bros Discovery shares ended the session 1.62% higher. Paramount shares were unchanged.

Netflix’s earlier proposal valued Warner Bros Discovery’s film and streaming assets at about $82.7 billion and included a mix of cash and stock. Paramount, meanwhile, has offered $108.4 billion in cash for the entire company, including its cable television operations.

The Warner Bros Discovery board has argued that Paramount’s offer depends heavily on debt financing, increasing execution risk, and has maintained that the proposal remains inadequate despite revisions.

On Monday, Paramount sued Warner Bros Discovery seeking more information on its negotiations with Netflix and said it plans to nominate directors to the company’s board.
