Falling in love with a show can lead to heartbreak if it gets canceled before you feel like you got any real closure.

Disney's standards for production quality are second to none, every single detail of a film finely tuned for an immersive experience... Infinity Vision certification extends that commitment to the theaters themselves, representing a shared effort between The Walt Disney Studios and the exhibition community to help audiences quickly find the very best screens in their area.

The second season appears to go in a The White Lotus-esque direction with Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as a couple whose fight is witnessed by two country-club employees.

U.S. same-store sales accelerated to +3.7% in Q4 2025, compared to just +0.4% in the prior-year quarter. That momentum sets up a favorable comparison heading into Q1 2026.

Net investment income per share has not covered the quarterly distribution for at least four consecutive quarters. Q1 2026 NII came in at $0.27 per share against a declared distribution of $0.3075.

The Disney Experiences segment just delivered record quarterly revenue of $10.006 billion, and D'Amaro built that machine. The segment generated $9.99 billion in full-year operating income for FY2025, making it the company's most profitable division. A CEO whose fingerprints are all over that result is not a liability.

Yesterday, Warner Bros. Discovery said it has determined that a revised bid for its cinema and television properties from Paramount Skydance was a "superior proposal" to Netflix's long-standing offer of $82.7 billion. Paramount, which has been in a hostile bidding war with Netflix over the movie studio, issued a new proposal to Warner Bros. on Tuesday.

Instead, he focused on the last three years, when he returned to the CEO role in 2022 after leaving it in 2020. When he first came back, the streaming business had lost $4 billion that year, Iger said, and required massive organizational restructuring to "create more accountability." All that effort seems to have paid off, financially speaking. Last quarter, Disney's SVOD services grew 11% year-over-year to more than $5 billion, driven by growth in both subscription and advertising revenue.

Josh D'Amaro appears to be the frontrunner in the race to be Disney's next CEO, and the Mouse House's latest quarterly earnings showed why. Disney's experiences business, which D'Amaro oversees, is the backbone of a company that's being weighed down by the struggling pay-TV business and isn't yet lifted up by its streaming profits. And when that part of the business sneezes, the stock catches a cold.
