Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>) shareholders delivered a rebuke to CEO David Zaslav&#8216;s leadership on Tuesday, with over 59% voting against his $51.9 million compensation package for 2024 in the company&#8217;s annual &#8220;say-on-pay&#8221; ballot.
What Happened: The symbolic vote represents growing shareholder frustration with executive compensation at the media conglomerate, which has seen its stock plummet 59% since the April 2022 merger of AT&amp;T&#8217;s WarnerMedia and Discovery Communications created the company, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/warner-discovery-shareholders-vote-against-ceo-david-zaslavs-pay-db679d1e?mod=hp_lead_pos6">reported</a>. More than 80% of shareholders participated in the non-binding vote.
Zaslav&#8217;s pay package rejection marks a significant deterioration from last year, when 50.8% of shareholders approved executive compensation. Corporate governance firm ISS considers anything below 70% approval as &#8220;low support.&#8221;
The compensation controversy comes as Warner Bros. Discovery faces mounting financial pressures. S&amp;P Global Ratings downgraded the company&#8217;s debt to junk status in May, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/06/45731052/warner-bros-debt-downgrade-is-an-ironically-positive-event-analyst">citing challenges in its cable-network business</a> as consumers abandon traditional television for streaming services.

Why It Matters: Warner&#8217;s cable networks, including CNN, Food Network, and Discovery Channel, continue experiencing rating and revenue declines. The company&#8217;s HBO Max streaming service, while profitable and adding subscribers, lags significantly behind industry leaders Netflix Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) and Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), the report noted.
Bank of America Securities analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/reiteration/25/06/45731052/warner-bros-debt-downgrade-is-an-ironically-positive-event-analyst">maintains a Buy rating on Warner Bros. Discovery</a> with a $14 price target, calling the debt downgrade &#8220;ironically positive&#8221; for equity holders. Ehrlich argues the downgrade increases strategic flexibility by removing a &#8220;double-trigger&#8221; change of control covenant that previously limited strategic options.
Entertainment industry CEO compensation typically exceeds other sectors, according to the report. Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters each received over $60 million in 2024, while Disney&#8217;s Bob Iger earned $41.1 million. However, shareholders at both companies have previously rejected executive pay packages in similar non-binding votes.
WBD stock is showing positive momentum with an upward short- to long-term price trend, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. However, it faces challenges in growth and valuation.

Warner Bros Discovery Shareholders Reject CEO David Zaslav's $51.9 Million Pay Package Amid Stock Slump, Debt Downgrade

On Tuesday, Palantir Technologies pushed back against a report alleging the company is aiding the Donald Trump administration in building <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/06/45760755/trump-administration-silently-employs-palantir-to-gather-personal-data-of-each-american-raising-priv">detailed profiles of American citizens</a> using federal data.
What Happened: The New York Times reported that the Trump administration is using Palantir's Foundry platform to implement a March executive order that expands federal data sharing.
The report claims Foundry is being used by agencies such as the Department of Health and Human Services and the Social Security Administration to combine personal data, including bank records, medical claims and student debt, raising alarms about potential privacy violations.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45763363/nvidia-overtakes-microsoft-as-the-worlds-most-valuable-company-with-3-4-trillion-market-cap-as-morgan-stanley-reaffirms-top-pick-status">Nvidia Overtakes Microsoft As The World&#8217;s Most Valuable Company With $3.4 Trillion Market Cap As Morgan Stanley Reaffirms Top Pick Status</a>
Palantir strongly denied the report, calling it "blatantly untrue."
In a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, the company said, "Palantir never collects data to unlawfully surveil Americans, and our Foundry platform employs granular security protections. If the facts were on its side, the New York Times would not have needed to twist the truth."

The report also revealed internal concerns at Palantir, with 13 former employees signing a letter urging the company to cut ties with the Trump administration.
The Times did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga's</a> request for comments. Why It's Important: Palantir shares have surged <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/05/45655507/tech-analyst-expects-palantir-stock-to-rise-above-400-as-ai-revolution-kicks-into-gear">more than 500% in the past</a> 12 months, fueled by the company's strong foothold in the AI sector.
The company currently has a market cap of $311.60 billion, making it the 30th most valuable company in the world.
In May, Palantir reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45208000/palantir-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-in-line-customer-count-up-39-company-raises-guidance-citing-surging-and-ferocious-growth">first-quarter revenue</a> of $883.86 million, surpassing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">analyst expectations</a> of $862.83 million. Adjusted earnings came in at 13 cents per share, matching forecasts.
This marked the seventh consecutive quarter in which Palantir has met or outperformed analyst projections for both revenue and earnings.
Price Action: Palantir shares have climbed 77.11% year-to-date. As of the time of writing, the stock was trading at $133.19 in after-hours, up 0.015%, according to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>.

What Happened: Gerber shared an anecdote in a post on X on Tuesday about a colleague who owned the new Tesla Model Y as the pair drove through Santa Monica traffic.
"He thought we could get through Santa Monica no problem on FSD," Gerber said before adding that they experienced three disengagements on their three-mile-long route.
"Two were critical, one involved an emergency vehicle the tesla didn&#8217;t hear&#8230;&nbsp; one was a bus it cut in front of as we were in the wrong lane to turn," Gerber noted and said that the company has "a lot of work to do on FSD for it to work."

Elon Musk has dismissed a report that valued SpaceX at $480 billion, calling it &#8220;too high&#8221; for where the company is at present. In a separate post on X, the billionaire said that the company will reach an important revenue milestone in 2026.
What Happened: "I have no idea how they're arriving at this valuation. Sounds too high for where SpaceX is today," Musk said in a post on social media platform X on Tuesday.

The billionaire also shared his thoughts on SpaceX's predicted revenue. Musk highlighted the "interesting milestone" in a separate post on X on Tuesday.
"@SpaceX commercial revenue from space will exceed the entire budget of @NASA next year. SpaceX revenue this year will be ~$15.5B, of which NASA is ~$1.1B," Musk said in the post.

Interestingly, official documents from NASA <a href="https://www.nasa.gov/fy-2026-budget-request/">show</a> the space agency's budget has been slashed by the Trump administration to over $18.8 billion for FY 2026.
Why It Matters: SpaceX has doubled down on its efforts to reach Mars, with the company recently testing its flagship rocket Starship, a key element in Musk's ambition to colonize the red planet. However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/25/05/45636692/elon-musks-mars-ambitions-face-new-setback-as-spacex-starship-test-flight-fails">the test failed</a> as the rocket spun out of control 30 minutes into the launch.
It's worth noting that Musk's NASA prediction comes in as U.S. President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/06/45715861/donald-trump-withdraws-jared-isaacmans-nomination-for-nasa-administrator-says-new-nominee-would-put-america-first-in-space">withdrew the nomination</a> of Jared Isaacman for the NASA administrator job, citing previous political associations.

"We will prioritize sending American astronauts to Mars," Isaacman had previously stated.
