The company's merger with Skydance Investor Group will bring significant capital, though it will reduce shareholders' influence, making it a speculative 'buy' candidate. Despite a revenue decline, Paramount Global exceeded analysts' estimates for Q1 2025, with notable growth in its Direct-to-Consumer segment and improved net income.
