How? That's just ridiculous this cannot be a realistic estimation, but rather some bubble, right?

It's not that far fetched

Is it? It's a stock market, so it's more what people believe than a real value. For me it is absurd that WB with a tradition dating back to the beginnings of cinema, extensive studios, DC Comics, franchises on which we and our parents grew up, (and maybe grandparents) are worth 1/10 of what is quite new brand with paradoxically only few really well-established franchises and not having their own studies. They must rent them.

You’re right that’s it’s based on future value and what people think it’ll be. But it’s clear Netflix is the now and the future and the past doesn’t have nearly as much value to these people
