Could Netflix make a bid for WarnerBros. Discovery? Not likely, to hear Netflix Co-CEO Greg Peters tell it. “We come from a deep heritage of being builders rather than buyers,” he told attendees at the Bloomberg Screentime conference. “One should have a reasonable amount of skepticism around big media mergers. They don’t have an amazing track record over time.” Paramount Skydance is said to be considering a bid for WBD, sparking speculation about other possible buyers, including Netflix. “We have to think really carefully about how we invest our capital, our time and our attention,” said Peters. “If that’s the best way to do it, great. And if it’s not, we should do something else.”

Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison, also at the Bloomberg event, didn’t confirm or deny the possibility that Paramount will make a play for Warner Bros. Discovery. But he did maintain there are “actionable” opportunities outside of WBD. “We would approach it, make it more, not less,” he said.
