Bob Iger To Meet With Disney Workers Tuesday: Here's What Could Be In Focus As Shares Of The House Of Mouse Struggle
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
Bob Iger, CEO of Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS), is set to meet with employees in a town hall meeting to discuss the company's future. Despite a slight recovery from nine-year lows in August, Disney shares are down 1% over the last year. The meeting will include executives from film, parks, ESPN, and television divisions, focusing on 'future building opportunities.' Disney's linear networks have struggled, but the company is investing in Disney+ and has acquired the remaining stake in Hulu. The ESPN segment has been separated to highlight its performance, and Disney is seeking a partner for growth. The film division's recent box office performance has been weak, with no $1 billion grossing movie recently and 'Wish' underperforming. The town hall aims to address concerns of both employees and shareholders.
