LONDON, ‌Jan 21 (Reuters) - Netflix shares listed in Frankfurt fell in early trade ‍on Wednesday despite ‍beating expectations ‌for fourth quarter revenue and earnings, ‍as ​the company remains locked in a ⁠fierce bidding war for Warner ‌Bros Discovery.

Netflix also told investors it ⁠would ‍pause share buybacks to accumulate cash to help ‍fund the Warner deal. ‌By 0714 GMT, shares were down 7%. The shares closed down 0.8% in Tuesday's regular session. Netflix stock has lost some 20% ‌in value since the company launched its bid for Warner ​Brothers in early December.
