Revenue landed at $25.25 billion, up 7% and roughly $150 million shy of estimates. Nobody minded, because the parks are printing and the stock popped 4% pre-market."Experiences revenue" (a pleasantly existential line item) rose 10% to $9.97 billion, with domestic attendance up 3% and per-capita spending up 4%, meaning people are showing up and buying the churro. Comcast just told investors that attendance across the whole Orlando market started softening in June, blaming sour consumer sentiment and the cost of getting there. That gave Disney CFO Hugh Johnston the perfect opportunity to go on CNBC early Wednesday and flex that Disney World's numbers looked nothing like Universal's just down the road, or like reported traffic through Orlando's airport for that matter.One stock.

In a shocker, ESPN grew 4% to $4.5 billion on NBA and NHL postseason ratings.Buybacks go to at least $9 billion from $8 billion, funded by handing the A+E stake to Hearst for $1.2 billion. CEO Josh D'Amaro, 2 quarters into the job Bob Iger vacated again, also signed a global TikTok deal to license Disney content made by fans, a novel way to pay for something you were already getting for free.Terms and Privacy PolicyEU DSA contactPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore Info
