Great WB quote. And even with DIS shares down from its highs in recent years, there was an article out this week that pointed out if one would have invested $1,000 in Disney shares 20 years ago, that position would be worth $6,266 today.
PC: I agree with you.
Taking advantage for timely accumulation over time of promising stocks to by discerning long term investors. The challenge is that it requires patience and purpose. That's why Warren Buffet said the stock market is a mechanism/process where money is transferred from the impatient to the patient investor.

Disney Surpasses Fiscal Q2 Earnings Expectations
By: James Hyerczyk | May 7, 2024
Key Points:
• Disney EPS of $1.21 beats estimates, revenue at $22.08B.
• Streaming loss narrows significantly, down to $18M.
• U.S. parks revenue up 7%, international sales jump 29%.
Disney Earnings Top Estimates
Disney has surpassed analyst expectations in its fiscal second-quarter earnings, significantly narrowing its streaming losses while maintaining steady overall revenue. This financial update underscores a notable improvement in Disney’s streaming operations and continued strength in its experiences segment.
Daily The Walt Disney Company
Earnings Overview
Disney’s earnings per share for the quarter stood at $1.21, adjusted, which exceeded the Wall Street expectations of $1.10. While total revenue reached $22.08 billion, aligning closely with projections of $22.11 billion, the highlight was the improved performance in streaming. Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ collectively reduced their losses dramatically to $18 million, compared from a substantial $659 million loss the previous year. This was largely due to Disney+ and Hulu turning a profit for the first time.
Streaming and Subscribers
The entertainment streaming segment, excluding ESPN+, saw a 13% revenue increase to $5.64 billion, with an operating income shift from a $587 million loss last year to a $47 million gain this quarter. This was attributed to a rise in Disney+ subscribers and a higher average revenue per user. Disney+ Core’s subscriber count rose to 117.6 million, while Hulu’s subscribers increased slightly to 50.2 million. However, ESPN+ experienced a decline in subscribers by 2%.
Parks and Experiences Growth
The U.S. parks and experiences sector witnessed a 7% revenue rise to $5.96 billion, while international sales surged 29% to $1.52 billion. This growth was driven by increased attendance and higher pricing at the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, emphasizing Disney’s recovery in physical experience spaces post-pandemic.
Challenges in Traditional Media
Contrasting with the streaming success, Disney’s traditional TV business faced challenges, particularly with ESPN. Despite a revenue rise by 3% to $4.21 billion, operating income for ESPN dropped by 9% due to lower advertising revenue, declining cable subscribers, and increased costs linked to broadcasting the College Football Playoff.
Market Forecast
Looking forward, Disney’s strategic focus on streamlining its streaming operations and enhancing its experiences sector might provide a bullish outlook for the company’s stock in the short term. However, the ongoing struggles in its traditional TV business could temper this optimism unless significant adjustments are made.

Unfortunately, the chart still remains in the mode of the HIGH POLE WARNING given on 5-April-2024 mode.
It's high time for a positive change but probably the naysayers have been successful for several weeks. Being optimistic I am expecting for positive news even though the chart is not yet reflecting it.
I hope DIS options traders betting bullishly on post-earnings reporting ahead of the event.
We shall see. GLTA
Disney (DIS) Stock Hoping For Another Post-Earnings Pop
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | May 3, 2024
• Disney stock has scored a positive post-earnings reaction in four of its last eight reports
• DIS options traders are betting bullishly ahead of the event
Apple (AAPL) is propping up the Dow to end the week after the tech titan's blowout corporate report. The next blue-chip to step into the earnings confessional will be Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS), set for its quarterly report before the market opens on Tuesday, May 7. Ahead of the event, options traders are betting bullishly, perhaps hoping the stock's recent post-earnings history skews to the upside.
Walt Disney stock closed higher the session after earnings in four of its last eight quarters, but finished positive after its last three, including a 11.5% pop in February. The shares averaged a 6.5% swing, regardless of direction, after their last eight earnings events. This time around, the options market is pricing in a larger post-earnings move of 7.5%.
DIS was last seen trading at $113.79, up 1% on the day. The shares are up 26% in 2024, with their 7% quarterly drawdown finding historical support at the site of that post-earnings bull gap from February. Don't expect much unwinding of pessimism from the blue-chip next week, considering there's only one "sell" rating on the stock, and a slim 1.1% of its total available float is sold short.
Echoing this, at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Volatility Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), DIS' 50-day call/put volume ratio of 2.30 sits higher than 93% of readings from the past year. But with the equity sporting a Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) of 16 out of 100 -- which indicates consistently realized lower volatility than its options have priced in -- a premium-selling strategy could be the move for the entertainment giant.

Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) –April 05 2024 - 07:38AM
IH Market News
CEO Bob Iger announced that Walt Disney’s streaming service will begin cracking down on password sharing in June, aiming to boost subscriber growth. He also indicated a pursuit of double-digit profit margins.
Dis share price HIGH POLE WARNING today, on 5-April-2024.
I was responding to your preposterous statement that "No shareholder voted for the Disney slate" which was a totally ridiculous claim. In truth and fact, the majority of Disney shareholders voted all of their shares for the entire Disney slate.
I'm aware that Disney's slate won, and that's not what's best for shareholders. This isn't 2020 anymore, Disney's repeated failures aren't coming from the flu, they're coming from leadership. Should be a class action suit at some point.
Most importantly, he noted that, although he has over 2 years left on his current Agreement, they want to identify the best new CEO and have that person work with Bob Iger to get up and running in the best possible way. 3 of the top candidates are already at Disney.
I watched that interview of Bob Iger on CNBC. He came across as one in full charge and confident of Disney's mission and goals to direct Disney in the right path for return to growth following the ravages caused by the pandemic. With his background knowledge and experience in the amusement/theme park business he is the best and right man for the job. He is well prepared and has the right personality for the leadership.
What planet are you on? The Disney slate won handily across the Board. Bob Iger was on CNBC for around 30 minutes today. Had lots of positive things to say and did not gloat. Most interestingly, had very succinctly summed up how the transition after he left could not have come at a worse time, and how COVID negatively impacted Disney perhaps more than any other large company, e.g. No one was going to amusement/theme parks, no one was going to the movies, movie and television production were all shut down, live professional and collegiate sports ceased for some time, and caused cancellation of most of the college football season in 2020, which negatively impacted ESPN, etc.
Thanks for your "expert" opinion.
Bob Iger received 94% of the vote and all 12 Disney Board nominees were easily elected. Strong vote of confidence for the existing leadership. Onward and upward!
12 MONTH PROJECTION $100
IMO
No matter what's going on, the chart technical picture still indicates that the DIS share price is in the same double top breakout mode signal of March 18th.
That is good enough for me.
