Paramount price target raised to $11 from $10 at Loop Capital

Loop Capital analyst Alan Gould raised the firm’s price target on Paramount (PARA) to $11 from $10 and keeps a Sell rating on the shares. Skydance has received final FCC approval to acquire Paramount, removing the last major hurdle for the transaction, which should now close within the next few weeks, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The next steps will be integration, likely further layoffs, securing Taylor Sheridan beyond his 2027 contract, and monitoring whether the NFL exercises its change-of-control clause, the firm says.
