Proxy battle was a 'win-win': Disney shareholder
Despite weak parks and cruise guidance, Disney's (DIS) second quarter earnings saw its streaming services, Disney+ and Hulu, turn a profit for the first time. Blanke Schein Wealth Management Chief Investment Officer Robert Schein joins Market Domination to break down the market reaction to the entertainment giant's earnings. Schein sees the sliding Disney stock as an overreaction stemming from Wall Street's disappointment in the company's weaker-than-expected guidance. Nonetheless, he stresses that Disney had a "solid" second quarter and is still trending higher year-to-date for long-term shareholders. Fresh off Disney's victory in a hotly contested proxy battle with activist investor Nelson Peltz, Schein — who voted for Peltz — believes the situation ended in a "win-win." "[Peltz] basically got management's attention," he explains, adding, "Moving forward, I believe wholeheartedly management's going to execute."

Disney CFO: We feel 'terrific' about our streaming progress
Disney (DIS) signaled it is closing in on profitability for all of its direct-to-consumer streaming services and networks, according to its fiscal second-quarter earnings results. While topping quarterly earnings estimates, Disney reported slowing experience spending by customers. From the 2024 Milken Conference, Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi speaks to Disney CFO Hugh Johnston — who was brought on board at Disney in December 2023 — about the media giant's strategy for its streaming platforms (Disney+, Hulu, ESPN) and linear TV segments. "You're gonna see prices steadily go up over time in the streaming service, mostly because the content we have is worth paying for. So obviously we generate a lot of our own IP [intellectual property], both on the television series side as well as on the movie side," Johnston says. "And in addition to that, as we continue to build out the streaming service, in particular putting an ESPN tile on later this year and then adding ESPN flagship as an option next year, uh, we think there's just gonna be more and more value there for consumers, and they'll be willing to pay more for it." As streaming subscriptions dominate a good chunk of Disney's revenue, Johnston believes Disney is soon going to "hit a point" where linear customers will begin leveling off: "Eventually we're at the point where it's just the stayers that will be there." Johnston also discusses the performance of Disney parks businesses around the world, whether ripples of an economic slowdown are appearing in consumer spending, and Disney's proxy battle victory against activist investor Nelson Peltz.
