In the news

Skydance reported results after the US close yesterday. Chairman and chief executive David Ellison described the first five weeks as an integration-and-execution sprint. He set out a target of at least $6bn of run-rate synergies within three years, with more than 20 work streams underway, and a $10bn free-cash-flow goal for 2030.

Expectations for the results had been modest, with the report seen as a test of the company’s streaming strategy.
