Read MoreHide Full Article
The upcoming report from Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD - Free Report) is expected to reveal quarterly loss of $0.18 per share, indicating an increase of 64.7% compared to the year-ago period. Analysts forecast revenues of $10.07 billion, representing a decrease of 2.8% year over year.
