DIS Holds Up Amid Headwinds

Hi, this is Dolphin Research!

$Disney(DIS.US) once again held up well under a cautious pre-earnings setup.

With management reaffirming FY26–FY27 guidance and adding $1bn to the buyback, near-term capital concerns should ease. As in last quarter, geopolitics and AI continue to weigh on its on-site park parades and film/TV businesses.

Meanwhile, amid the headwinds, industry players are increasingly banding together, lifting concentration. That, in turn, is likely to intensify rivalry among the leaders...

DIS (Trans): Segment OP +21%, Buyback raised to $9bn

In Q3, segment OP rose 21% YoY. Experiences revenue reached $10bn, a record for the fiscal quarter. The company raised its buyback guidance to at least $9bn, up from approx. $7bn.

However, weak spending at the Shanghai and Hong Kong parks has carried into Q4. Streaming ad pricing is under pressure amid increased supply. Disney+'s ecosystem revamp will not begin rolling out until spring 2027.

DIS: New chief’s strong debut, century-old resilience

Hi everyone, this is Dolphin Research. $Disney(DIS.US) FY2Q26 was the first outing for the new CEO who took over in Mar. Results were solid, showing operating resilience, and management added a bit more buyback commitment.

This helped ease prior market jitters tied to macro volatility. It also calmed concerns about AI-driven industry shifts and the leadership transition.

1) Guidance beat. FY2Q26 lines up with calendar Q1, and the quarter faced short-term headwinds from Mid-East tensions and rising sports rights costs.

Higher oil prices could curb travel demand, weighing on parks revenue...

DIS: Volatility Inevitable in Integration; Awaiting New Growth Drivers

Hello everyone, this is Dolphin Research! $Disney(DIS.US) released FY26 Q1 (CY25 Q4) results pre-market on Feb 2 ET.

While neither the quarter nor the guide showed a major miss, pausing disclosure of key streaming subs raises uncertainty around Disney's growth outlook and will likely weigh on the near-term multiple. Management was also cautious on Parks, another valuation pillar, which may deepen investor concerns.

1. Overall in line with a slight profit beat.

Q1 revenue of $26.0bn (+5% YoY)...

Disney: Short-term Pressure but Guidance Unchanged, Can Iger Turn the Tide Before Leaving?

Hello everyone, I am Dolphin Research! $Disney(DIS.US) released its fiscal year 2025 fourth quarter (CY25Q3) earnings before the U.S. stock market opened on November 12th, Eastern Time. The third-quarter performance slightly missed expectations overall, with revenue under pressure, especially in the theme parks, which contribute the most to earnings, as the delayed competitive impact has become apparent. Although the company's profitability was slightly better and it maintained its relatively positive guidance for 2026 without adjustments, the market seems to lack confidence. Specifically: 1. DTC net user growth rebounded beyond expectations: Fourth-quarter streaming user growth continued to rebound...
