2027 Q2 means the end of the second quarter of 2027, aka approx 18 months from today.
Purchase stalled bureaucratically means there is a purchase agreement in place but it is currently waiting for FCC or anti-trust lawsuits to go through.
I asked ChatGPT what is the theoretical timeline once shareholders are onboard and he gives me:
Optimistic (everything goes smoothly):
~9–12 months
Base case (Second Request + remedies):
~12–18 months
Adverse case (litigation):
2+ years or collapse
Claude Sonnet 4.5 had something similar to say:
Best case: 12 months with limited conditions. Realistic: 18-24 months. Worst case: Blocked entirely or abandoned after failed litigation.

I guess the optimistic timeline was correct. Since the deal is done I see no reason for not resolving the market right now. Even if the resulting company were to initiate bankruptcy proceedings or be acquired by Netflix, that wouldn't affect the fact that WB Discovery was and would remain acquired by Paramount. Thanks everyone for trading
