Shares of Paramount Skydance Corporation (NASDAQ:PSKY) are trading higher on Tuesday on continued momentum after the company secured $24 billion in equity commitments tied to a potential Warner Bros. Discovery takeover.

Paramount To Receive $24 Billion In Funding

Three sovereign-wealth funds, led by a $10 billion commitment from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, have agreed to provide $24 billion in total funding to help back Paramount Skydance’s takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.

Qatar Investment Authority and Abu Dhabi's L'imad Holding Co are reported to be the other two sovereign-wealth funds involved in the financing deal.

Paramount announced plans to buy Warner Bros. Discovery in February after Netflix declined to increase its bid for the company’s assets. The deal could reportedly close as soon as the end of July, according to the report.

PSKY Stock Trades Above Moving Averages

PSKY is trading 13.2% above its 20-day simple moving average (SMA), the stock’s average price over the last 20 sessions, which suggests short-term momentum has improved from the recent base. At the same time, it's trading 12.8% below its 100-day SMA, which indicates the intermediate trend still has overhead pressure.

Moving average convergence divergence (MACD), a trend/momentum measure, shows the MACD at -0.4239 versus a signal line at -0.5386, a setup that leans bullish because momentum is improving versus the recent downtrend. That said, the 20-day SMA remains below the 50-day SMA, which is consistent with a market that's still trying to repair prior technical damage.

  • Key Resistance: $11.50 — a level where rallies have recently stalled.
  • Key Support: $10.00 — a line buyers have tended to defend on pullbacks.
