November 8th, 2023 brought the fourth quarter and final earnings call for the Walt Disney Company. Disney CEO Bob Iger has made it a priority to improve streaming platforms, including Disney+, and Hulu. And now, we have an update on some big changes coming for streaming.
Things within The Walt Disney Company are changing. We’ve seen some major executive leadership changes over the past few months, big announcements about Disney’s plans for the future, and some small but important financial changes ahead of the fourth-quarter earnings call.

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.Â
If you’ve been a Disney fan for a while, then you’re probably used to price increases.

For everything from movie tickets to merchandise to theme park vacations, being a Disney fan just tends to get more expensive as time goes on. And now, it’s about to get pricier to stream Disney content as well!
Back in February, Bob Iger announced that the Walt Disney Company would undergo a restructuring, causing $5.5 billion in spending cuts.

As a part of this overhaul, 7,000 job cuts went into motion, and many lost their jobs in the following months. In March, the company laid off more than 300 employees in China who were working on its streaming services. Now, those layoffs are creating more questions as malfunctions affect the company’s streaming programs.
Things have gotten interesting with the Walt Disney Company lately.
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.
So we know you all probably subscribe to Disney+, but do you also subscribe to Hulu?

You might not think of Hulu as being the place to watch a show about classic fairy tales, but if you love Disney princesses and Disney movies, you may need to subscribe ASAP. That’s because one of Disney’s most underrated shows will be arriving on the streaming platform soon!
Well, there is certainly a LOT going on with The Walt Disney Company.
Cinderella Castle
And we’re not even talking about the big 100th Anniversary Celebration that’s still going on (and coming to EPCOT soon). Disney just recently held its third quarter 2023 earnings call, and we learned about Disney’s current financial status for both Disney Parks and streaming, but we also got some big announcements.
