The Walt Disney Company, one of the world’s leading media and entertainment conglomerates, has been making headlines in the past few weeks with several significant announcements and events that have impacted its stock performance, business strategy, and earnings report.

In this article, we will examine the following topics:

  • The stock performance of Disney in the past year and the factors that have influenced it
  • The deal between Disney and Arm Holdings, a British semiconductor company, and its implications for Disney’s gaming and entertainment universe
  • The earnings report of Disney for the first quarter of 2024 and the highlights and challenges of its various segments

Disney Stock Performance

Disney’s stock (NYSE: DIS) has been on a roller coaster ride in the past year, as it has faced various opportunities and challenges in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath.

March 8, 2021

The stock reached its all-time high of $211.18 on March 8, 2021, driven by the strong performance of its streaming services, especially Disney+, which surpassed 100 million subscribers in its first 16 months of launch.

May 14, 2021

However, the stock then plunged to $163.33 on May 14, 2021, after the company reported disappointing earnings for the second quarter of 2021, which showed a slowdown in the growth of Disney+ subscribers and a continued loss in its theme parks and resorts segment.

July 14, 2021

The stock then recovered to $184.98 on July 14, 2021, after the company announced a landmark deal with Arm Holdings, a British semiconductor company, to create a groundbreaking new games and entertainment universe that brings together Disney’s beloved brands and franchises with the hugely popular Fortnite.

August 13, 2021

The stock then dipped to $172.15 on August 13, 2021, after the company faced a lawsuit from Scarlett Johansson, the star of its blockbuster film Black Widow, over its decision to release the film simultaneously on Disney+ and in theaters, which allegedly breached her contract and reduced her earnings.

14, 2021

The stock then soared to $199.67 on September 14, 2021, after the company reported strong earnings for the third quarter of 2021, which showed a rebound in its theme parks and resorts segment and a steady growth in its streaming services, as well as a resolution of the lawsuit with Johansson.

October 14, 2021

The stock then dropped to $187.10 on October 14, 2021, after the company announced a delay in the release of several of its upcoming films, such as Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, due to the ongoing challenges posed by the pandemic.

November 14, 2021

The stock then climbed to $205.34 on November 14, 2021, after the company hosted its annual investor day, where it unveiled several new and exciting projects and initiatives, such as a feature-length animated sequel to Moana, a stand-alone streaming option for ESPN with innovative digital features, and a cash dividend of $0.45 a share payable in July 2024.

December 14, 2021

The stock then fell to $191.10 on December 14, 2021, after the company faced a backlash from some of its fans and critics over its decision to fire Gina Carano, one of the stars of its hit series The Mandalorian, over her controversial social media posts.

January 14, 2024

The stock then rose to $202.10 on January 14, 2024, after the company announced a record-breaking box office performance of its film Spider-Man: No Way Home, which grossed over $1.6 billion worldwide and became the highest-grossing film of 2023 and the third-highest-grossing film of all time.

February 7, 2024

The stock then slid to $194.10 on February 7, 2024, after the company reported its earnings for the first quarter of 2024, which we will discuss in the next section.

Disney and Arm Holdings Deal

One of the most significant and exciting announcements that Disney made in the past year was its deal with Arm Holdings, a British semiconductor company that designs and licenses microprocessors and related technologies. The deal, which was announced on July 14, 2021, involved Disney acquiring a small equity stake in Arm Holdings and launching a groundbreaking new games and entertainment universe that brings together Disney’s beloved brands and franchises with the hugely popular Fortnite.

Fortnite, which is developed by Epic Games, is a free-to-play online video game that has over 350 million players worldwide and generates billions of dollars in revenue from in-game purchases and events. Fortnite is powered by Arm’s technology, which enables high-performance and low-power computing on various devices, such as smartphones, tablets, consoles, and PCs.

The deal between Disney and Arm Holdings aims to create a new and immersive experience for the fans of both companies, by allowing them to interact with their favorite characters, stories, and worlds from Disney’s vast portfolio of intellectual properties, such as Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and more, within the Fortnite game.

The deal also aims to leverage Arm’s technology and expertise to enhance the quality and innovation of Disney’s gaming and entertainment offerings, as well as to explore new opportunities and markets in the rapidly growing and evolving gaming industry.

The deal between Disney and Arm Holdings is expected to generate significant value and synergies for both companies, as well as to create a competitive advantage and a loyal fan base in the gaming and entertainment space. The deal is also expected to benefit the consumers, who will be able to enjoy a more engaging and diverse content and gameplay, as well as to access a wider range of devices and platforms.

The deal is also expected to have a positive impact on the society and the environment, as it will promote creativity, collaboration, and education, as well as reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Disney Earnings Report

Disney reported its earnings for the first quarter of 2024 on February 7, 2024, and with it came several “significant announcements that represent important and exciting steps forward,” according to Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger. “Just one year ago, we outlined an ambitious plan to return to a period of sustained growth and shareholder value creation, and our strong performance this past quarter demonstrates we have turned the corner and entered a new era,” Iger said during his post-earnings remarks on Wednesday.

Here are the key figures and highlights of Disney’s earnings report for the first quarter of 2024, according to LSEG, formerly known as Refinitiv:

Earnings per share: $1.24, beating the analysts’ estimate of 99 cents and increasing by 313% from the same quarter of the previous year

Revenue: $25.37 billion, beating the analysts’ estimate of $23.64 billion and increasing by 14.7% from the same quarter of the previous year

Segment revenue: Entertainment ($12.54 billion, up 18.6%), Sports ($6.21 billion, up 9.8%), and Experiences ($6.62 billion, up 13.4%)

Segment operating income: Entertainment ($2.34 billion, up 86.4%), Sports ($1.21 billion, up 22.2%), and Experiences ($1.62 billion, up 47.6%)

Streaming subscribers: Disney+ (121 million, up 21% from the previous quarter), ESPN+ (18 million, up 12.5% from the previous quarter), and Hulu (39 million, up 8.3% from the previous quarter)

The Walt Disney Company is one of the world’s leading media and entertainment conglomerates, which has been making headlines in the past few weeks with several significant announcements and events that have impacted its stock performance, business strategy, and earnings report.

Some of the highlights and challenges of Disney’s various segments are:

Entertainment: The segment benefited from the strong performance of its streaming services, especially Disney+, which added 20 million subscribers in the quarter, driven by the popularity of its original content, such as The Book of Boba Fett, Hawkeye, and Encanto. The segment also benefited from the recovery of its studio business, which released several blockbuster films, such as Spider-Man: No Way Home, Eternals, and West Side Story. However, the segment also faced some challenges, such as the lawsuit from Scarlett Johansson, the delay in the release of some of its films, and the competition from other streaming platforms, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and HBO Max.

Sports: The segment benefited from the launch of its joint venture with Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery to create a new streaming sports service, which attracted 10 million subscribers in its first quarter of operation. The segment also benefited from the strong ratings and advertising revenue of its live sports programming, such as the NFL, the NBA, and the MLB. However, the segment also faced some challenges, such as the rising costs of sports rights, the uncertainty of the sports calendar due to the pandemic, and the fragmentation of the sports audience, as more consumers opt for online and mobile viewing options.

Experiences: The segment benefited from the rebound of its theme parks and resorts business, which reopened all of its domestic and international locations, except for Disneyland Paris, which remained closed due to the pandemic. The segment also benefited from the increased attendance and spending of its guests, as well as the introduction of new attractions and experiences, such as the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and the Avengers Campus. However, the segment also faced some challenges, such as the ongoing health and safety measures, the travel restrictions and regulations, and the labor shortages and wage pressures.

Conclusion

The Walt Disney Company is a company that has a lot to offer and a lot to overcome, as it is a company that reflects the past, present, and future of the entertainment industry. It is a company that every investor and every consumer should know and explore, as it is a company that will surprise and inspire them.
