David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Skydance, discussed the company's recent acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery in an October 2026 interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box." He stated that the combined entity positions the company to "win in every single vertical that we operate in," citing the union of major intellectual properties such as Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and the DC Universe with franchises like Mission Impossible and Top Gun Maverick. Ellison also outlined plans to invest more in content than competitors and projected mid-single-digit revenue growth on a company generating nearly $70 billion in revenue, with $6 billion in synergies from the deal. Ellison addressed the company's financial strategy, including its debt reduction plan and the decision to maintain a dividend, which he said benefits shareholders. He emphasized that the approach involves "re-engineering how we work" and "reinventing the business model" rather than simply cutting costs, describing the effort as a long-term plan to build a high-performing company. He noted that he was three days into the role and already in "full execution mode" with a clear vision for achieving savings.
