Discovery slid nearly 10% Wednesday, nearing all-time lows after the media conglomerate — heavily reliant on its pay-TV business — recorded a whopping $9.1 billion write-down reflecting the loss of value of several of its linear television networks.
In after-hours trading, WBD shares were down as low as $6.96 per share. The stock’s lowest closing price was on June 18, 2024, when it ended the day at $6.99 per share; it’s 52-week low intraday price is $6.94.
