Portfolio Pulse from Anthony Noto
Barry Diller, chairman of IAC Inc and Expedia Group Inc, suggests that both executives and top-paid actors should take a 25% pay cut to narrow the pay gap in the movie industry. The Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA are on strike, which could have devastating effects on the movie industry if not resolved by September 1. Wedbush analyst Alicia Reese believes the strikes could impact Netflix's Q3, while other studios with struggling streaming platforms could be hit harder. Disney CEO Bob Iger is concerned about the unrealistic expectations of the strikers.
