Back in August, we saw Disney’s stock prices drop lower than we’ve seen them in about nine years, and at the Q3 earnings call for fiscal 2023, we learned that Disney’s revenue wasn’t as high as many hoped. But Disney keeps moving forward. Earlier this year, there was a lot of speculation over Disney’s plans to acquire more stake in Hulu. The company already owns about two-thirds of Hulu, and Comcast owns the other third. Fast-forward to September, and Comcast and Disney signed an agreement to begin sale talks for Comcast’s stake in Hulu early, deciding to begin negotiations on September 30th, 2023. Well, as of November 1st, 2023, it seems the two companies reached an agreement.

Hi, Mickey!

Recently, we saw Disney’s stock prices drop lower than we’ve seen them in about 9 years, and at the Q3 earnings call for fiscal 2023, we learned that overall revenue isn’t as high as the company was hoping it would be when Bob Iger returned as CEO about a year ago. Earlier this year, we heard talk of Disney hoping to acquire more stakes in Hulu, which they already own about two-thirds of. Comcast owns the other third. Disney and Comcast signed an agreement to begin sale talks as early as 2024. Now, there’s been a change regarding the negotiation talk between Disney and Comcast.
