About Paramount
Paramount (PARA) is a public Consumer Internet company, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in New York, NY.
Equity grants at Paramount typically include restricted stock units (RSUs).
Paramount Global, traded as Paramount, was an American multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate controlled by National Amusements and headquartered at One Astor Plaza in Times Square, Midtown Manhattan. It was formed on December 4, 2019, as ViacomCBS, through the merger of the second incarnations of Viacom and CBS Corporation, which were split from the original Viacom in 2005. On February 16, 2022, ViacomCBS was renamed to Paramount.

The company traces to Paramount Pictures, founded 1912, and to CBS; the two split under Viacom in 2006 and recombined in 2019 before renaming to Paramount Global in 2022. Assets include the film studio, CBS broadcast, cable networks including Nickelodeon and MTV, and Paramount+ streaming. Streaming losses and declining cable affiliate revenue drove a prolonged strategic review, and the Redstone family's controlling stake through National Amusements was sold in a transaction with Skydance. Headquarters are in New York City.

Paramount equity questions
- How much does it cost to hedge PARA stock?
- The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and PARA's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current PARA option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
- Does Paramount grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
- Equity compensation at Paramount typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
- Do Paramount RSUs use double-trigger vesting?
- No. Paramount restricted stock units (RSUs) use single-trigger vesting: each tranche becomes yours as it vests on schedule, taxed as ordinary income at that point, with no liquidity event required.
