About
The Walt Disney Company is one of the world's largest entertainment and media conglomerates, founded in 1923 by Walt and Roy Disney in Los Angeles and now headquartered in Burbank, California, trading on NYSE (DIS). The company reported approximately $91.4 billion in revenues for fiscal year 2024 (ending September 28) under CEO Bob Iger, who returned to lead the company in November 2022 following a turbulent period under Bob Chapek. Iger's second tenure has focused on restoring Disney's creative culture, achieving streaming profitability, and restructuring the linear television portfolio as cord-cutting accelerates. Disney+ achieved its first quarterly profitability milestone in late 2023 and sustained profitability through FY2024, while ESPN's eventual direct-to-consumer streaming launch—planned for fall 2025—represents the most consequential strategic transition in Disney's recent history.
