Disney has not expanded to any

2021-05-14

Disney has not expanded to any (or many) markets in the previous quarter. Furthermore, it is not only a streaming company - the synergy its streaming services brings to other revenue streams cannot be measured (eg merchandise, park visits etc). I wouldn’t underestimate its growth

Disney+ subscriber growth is slowing like Netflix's — with one worrisome difference

They are also expanding their streaming channels to more! Results in better growth

  Fully agreed. I will never underestimate the amount of IP the company has. No one company in the world comes close to what Disney is & it’s hilarious to see such a simplistic comparison with netflix
