Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) lost 9.94% last Friday, closing at $8.61. For 2023, the firm concentrated on restructuring its business to set up growth, achieving synergies to cut costs and pay down debt, and turning its streaming business into a profitable business.
WBD shares are lower because the company did not offer free cash flow EBITDA guidance. Last year, it included a $1 billion benefit. This year, that will reverse.

Still, investors may buy PANW stock in one-quarter positions. If the stock falls below $260, the investor could add to the position.
