Market movers: Stocks seeing action on Thursday - and why
Briefly

Edgar Bronfman has increased his bid to take over Paramount Global to $6 billion, challenging a previous offer by David Ellison's Skydance Media. This new offer comes from a consortium and aims to pay down Paramount's debt or buy non-voting shares held by other investors.
