Disney earnings: Streaming results show ‘encouraging signs’: Analyst

The Walt Disney Company (DIS) reported mixed fiscal fourth quarter results. Adjusted earnings per share of $0.82 topped analyst expectations of $0.69, while revenue of $21.24 billion fell slightly short of estimates of $21.43 billion. The entertainment giant also now sees bigger cost savings than it had previously expected, raising its estimate to $7.5 billion from $5.5 billion. The company’s main streaming service, Disney+, also added more subscribers than the Street had been anticipating.
Third Bridge Group Sector Analyst Jamie Lumley says that the growth in streaming subscribers is a “positive sign,” but that its direct-to-consumer losses, though smaller, are nonetheless still losses. Overall, Lumley says the streaming business is showing “encouraging signs,” but that “a lot of questions” remain. Watch the video above to hear what Lumley had to say about Disney’s parks business.
