The Walt Disney Company, a global leader in entertainment, has experienced both major achievements and notable challenges between 2023 and 2025. Marking its 100th anniversary in 2023, Disney has continued to influence the entertainment industry through theme park expansions, the evolution of its streaming platforms, corporate restructuring efforts, and the success of its blockbuster franchises.
Walt Disney World, covering 27,000 acres, is the largest single-site employer in the U.S., with a workforce of over 80,000 cast members. Its daily operations are vast managing 285,000 pounds of laundry, preparing 10,000 pounds of food, and tending to 5,000 animals. Since launching in 2019, the Disney Skyliner gondola system has logged more than 1 million miles, linking various parks and resorts across the property.
Disney’s share price surged following the release of its fiscal second-quarter 2025 earnings report. On May 7, 2025, the stock rose by up to 12%, reaching an intraday high of $103.31. This increase was driven by strong performance in its streaming services and theme parks.
The company reported adjusted earnings of $1.45 per share on revenue of $23.62 billion, surpassing analyst expectations. Disney’s streaming platforms, including Disney+ and Hulu, contributed significantly to this success, with Disney+ adding 1.4 million new subscribers, bringing the total to 126 million. The combined streaming segment delivered a profit of $336 million, a substantial increase from $47 million the previous year.
And on the 12th of April, the share price rose to $110.49, about 4.29%. Price could reach $120 in the coming weeks as price is oversold on the weekly chart and the last three weeks have closed bullish.
