The Gross Law Firm notifies investors that a class action has commenced in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of shareholders of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. who purchased Securities between February 23, 2024 and August 7, 2024.
The filed complaint alleges that defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) WBD’s sports rights negotiations with the NBA were causing, or were likely to cause, the Company to significantly reevaluate its business and goodwill; (ii) WBD’s goodwill in its Networks segment had significantly deteriorated as a result of the difference between its market capitalization and book value, continued softness in certain U.S. advertising markets, and uncertainty related to affiliate and sports rights renewals, including with the NBA; (iii) the foregoing significantly increased the likelihood of WBD incurring billions of dollars in goodwill impairment charges; (iv) accordingly, defendants had overstated WBD’s overall business and financial prospects; and (v) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
