The Walt Disney Company (DIS)

Executive Summary

Disney today is a different — and in our view much better — business than the one the market left for dead in 2023, when the stock bottomed near $80 amid streaming losses, a botched first succession, collapsing linear economics, and a proxy fight. Three of those four overhangs have now resolved in shareholders’ favor. The direct-to-consumer business, which lost roughly $4 billion at its FY2022 peak, generated about $1.3 billion of operating income in FY2025 and grew streaming operating income 88% year over year in the just-reported fiscal second quarter — the loss-to-profit inflection we have waited years for is not a forecast, it is now in the financials.
