It takes time for DTC streaming to be profitable. DTC can only drive up extra revenue ortake away market share from Netflix. But they will have a difficult time, positioning themselves as a global streaming platform. Netflix has the upper hand due to first mover advantage. Iger needs to strategise his chess move properly! The more you focus on DTC, the moremessy it gets.
- Sunraya:
  Let’s hope for the better! In terms of IP content, DIS and WBD has potential in an asset play compared to NFLX. But if they were to compete NFLX in DTC. I don’t think they stand a chance, even if so, it is a slim chance. They should disrupt DTC by adding ads to their platform to gain extra revenue.
- Sunraya:
  DTC stands for Direct To Consumer
- AndreaClarissa:
  Let's see how Iger will make disney change .of course performance as well.
- CaesarHicks:
  Hey just wondering that is DTC here,thank you.

Does Disney need another ex-CEO to re-helm the company? Does ex-CEO still know what the customers want? Is he still relevant? And I thot all Disney need is the mojo to produce gd quality entertainment programs again? Its an "entertainment" company no? And the singular aim is to entertain and profit from that no? When was the last time Disney had a Major International hit movie? Can't recall right... There's the problem... Now if only they could fix it... Be fair the US stock mkt analysts havent exactly been kind to Disney either with their poison pen. Agree? Just saying....
- JC888:
  Bingo.....
- KittyBruno:
  There have been some people who work there that say Iger is every bit as woke as before, but that remains to be seen. Time will tell.
- littlesweetie:
  Iger is the one who brought wokeness and Kathleen Kennedy to Disney. He has caused all problems. It wasn't Chapek.
- LeilaLynch:
  weekly - now I'm waiting to see if institutions agree that Iger can do it! That will come when we see volume above average for several days/weeks. Obviously closer to lows than highs, with a good R/R.
- MaudNelly:
  Major International hit movie? I think there is less DISNEY movies that I have seen recently.

It has an unstoppable creative team and its position as the leading world entertainment company is, at least for the foreseeable future, effectively unbeatable.That lends itself to almost guaranteed future performance. However, as the market has seen time and time again, even this type of growth and dominance isn't sustainable without shifting focus to the bottom line.Disney is no start-up, and it's well aware that its priorities need some assessment. It has provided profitability guidance for Disney+ almost since inception, and it's been reassuring investors that it still intends to meet its goals of profitability by 2024. There are two paths to take: cut costs and raise prices, and the company is doing both.

Iger left his position as executive chairman just 11 months ago, but he's been called back by the board amid mounting streaming losses and a tanking stock price.Part of the problem is an unclear direction for how to steer the company. The parks segment has been a major growth generator over the past few quarters, but underlying what looks like a strong business are multiple premium services and price hikes that aren't sustainable.

Iger left his position as executive chairman just 11 months ago, but he's been called back by the board amid mounting streaming losses and a tanking stock price.Part of the problem is an unclear direction for how to steer the company. The parks segment has been a major growth generator over the past few quarters, but underlying what looks like a strong business are multiple premium services and price hikes that aren't sustainable. At the same time, streaming is costing more and more to operate, and Disney's raising the price on that, too.Does Disney have a pricing problem? And can Iger fix it and get the company back on track?Are parks really on fire?Yes, parks really are on fire. People are coming back and paying up. The parks and experiences segment increased its sales 36% over last year in the fourth quarter (ended Oct. 1) to $7.4 billion, and segment operating income increased more than 100% to $1.5 billion. Chapek said that parks are \"generating consistently strong demand, which, on many days, exceeds our current capacity.\"Part of the revenue increase came from a Disney pass price increase in February. That's OK; supply and demand laws mean prices will rise when there's strong demand. With demand still strong, Disney is raising prices again in December. The increase covers several types of tickets as well as premium services like Genie+, which allows holders to skip lines. However, it can't raise prices twice every year. And after the pent-up demand from the pandemic dies down, visitors may be less inclined to pay the steep prices.Can streaming cut its losses?Investors have been focusing on the widening losses at Disney+. But let's take a look at some of the positives here. Disney added 57 million new subscriptions to all of its streaming networks in fiscal 2022 (ended Oct. 1). That's a huge number, and it indicates that Disney is dominating this field. It also illustrates how well Disney can perform in new businesses where it really shines. It has an unstoppable creative team and its position as the leading world entertainment company is, at least for the foreseeable future, effectively unbeatable.That lends itself to almost guaranteed future performance. However, as the market has seen time and time again, even this type of growth and dominance isn't sustainable without shifting focus to the bottom line.Disney is no start-up, and it's well aware that its priorities need some assessment. It has provided profitability guidance for Disney+ almost since inception, and it's been reassuring investors that it still intends to meet its goals of profitability by 2024. There are two paths to take: cut costs and raise prices, and the company is doing both. However, by taking this approach, it's likely to see its subscriber growth slow down.In the meantime, the $1.5 billion operating loss from streaming effectively wiped out the same amount of operating income from parks.Can Iger steer Disney back to stardom?Disney looks like it's in a bit of a pickle. However, Iger laid the foundation for streaming before he left the CEO role in 2020 and is acutely acquainted with its inner workings. Iger served as CEO for 15 years on top of a long career at Disney, and the board sees his return as a way to put Disney on a path to getting the most out of streaming while streamlining all of its businesses to work together profitably.There don't seem to be easy answers right now, and in this kind of economy, investors shouldn't expect a rapid turnaround.There are two pieces of good news, however. One is that Disney is still well-positioned to maintain its leadership role in the long term, and Iger, who has signed on for a two-year stint, certainly has the capabilities to get it back to speed before handing the reins onto the next CEO. The second is that down 41% this year, Disney shares are beginning to look like more of a bargain, with a forward one-year price-to-earnings ratio of 22.However, with the current volatility, investors may want to stay on the sidelines and watch what's happening at Disney for the time being.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":104945122,"gmtCreate":1669306242687,"gmtModify":1669306255858,"authorId":3574167470846346,"author":{"id":3574167470846346,"idStr":"3574167470846346","authorId":3574167470846346,"name":"cozyli","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/509ef7c09d0624801748249c5a3e0117","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":9968507863,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"<u>ok</u>","text":"<u>ok</u>","html":"<u>ok</u>"}],"langContent":"EN"}],"isCommentEnd":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":95,"commentSize":7,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.1","shortVersion":"4.29.1","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2285419168"}
