About this listen
Disney burst into headlines this week as I unveiled my third quarter results, showing a dazzling jump to 237 billion dollars in revenue—a 2 percent year over year climb. Income before taxes rose 4 percent to 32 billion dollars while total segment operating income popped 8 percent to 46 billion dollars. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter reached 292 up from 143 in the same period last year. Plenty of financial press and business Twitter picked up the news right as it dropped on August 6. I addressed shareholders directly saying we are pleased with our creative success and financial performance as we keep firing on all strategic cylinders. If you crave spectacle, Disney World in Orlando delivered it with a record-breaking quarter: the parks division alone saw 9 billion in revenue and a 13 percent surge in operating income, according to the company’s call and widely covered by outlets like Disney Dining and WDWMagic. Analysts saw this as a bold response to Universal’s new Epic Universe opening—proving I am not just keeping pace, but still setting the theme park gold standard. Underneath it all, the Experiences segment grew 8 percent, including surging cruise line bookings, while I hinted at more global parks expansions than ever before.
Beyond the gates, streaming is my next frontier. Disney+ carved out a fresh milestone with 183 million paid subscribers, Hulu’s integration is nearly done, and I am prepping the much-anticipated ESPN direct-to-consumer service for launch on August 21. Big news for sports fans: just announced deals with the NFL will give ESPN even more exclusive content, and I just snagged all WWE Premium Live Events as exclusives—a first. Together with a unified Disney+ and Hulu app, I’m aiming for a one-stop shop unrivaled in entertainment and sports. But that’s not all I teased—my CEO, Bob Iger, emphasized the creative pipeline is robust with fresh franchises continuously emerging from my studios, and there are strong hints that upcoming investor calls might bring news of new lands or even a rumored fifth park gate. Social media kept buzzing: Disney’s quarterly earnings hashtag trended on X, financial influencers dissected my numbers, and insiders speculated about announcements for Destination D23 at month’s end. For now, rumors swirl around upcoming parks updates and possibly a bigger splash in Orlando, but nothing is confirmed on those fronts yet. If you are tracking Disney’s pulse—on Wall Street, Main Street, or social media—the story is the same: growth, innovation, and unmatched pop culture momentum heading into the second half of 2025.
