Reuters on Thursday reported, citing people familiar with the matter, that Netflix has ample cash and could hike its offer if Paramount ups its own. The two companies have been engaged in a bitter competition to acquire Warner Bros.

Shares of NFLX and PSKY traded 1% and 3% lower, respectively, at the time of writing.
