Tech-Eye-Spy Dispatch - 18th August 2025

Paid Edition #3

The end of cinema?

INTRO…

This week’s dispatch begins with the Skydance deal that’s set tongues wagging across Hollywood and Wall Street. At first glance it looks like another merger in a crowded media market. Look closer and you start to see the outlines of a bigger play, one that cuts directly into the future of tech-driven entertainment and distribution.

What follows beyond this point is the paid section: extensive sector analysis, a deep dive into the Skydance purchase and what it signals, a look at the upcoming IPOs currently moving through the pipeline, and the breakthroughs we believe investors should be paying closest attention to. The signals are there if you know where to look.

As always, this dispatch ties into the wider Tech-Eye-Spy ecosystem, our YouTube analysis, our ongoing book series, and the growing catalogue of paid research designed to give you an edge in emerging tech markets.
