A potential collaboration with a major tech company sent Paramount Global's (NASDAQ: PARA) stock skyward on the last trading day of the week. Friday morning, The Wall Street Journal reported that Paramount and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) are in talks about bundling their video streaming services together. Citing unnamed "people familiar with the discussions," the newspaper said that a bundle of Paramount+ and Apple TV+ might end up being priced lower than the current charges for both services individually.
