Disney earnings top expectations as streaming, parks offset TV headwinds

UNITED STATES, AUG 6 – Investors anticipate earnings from McDonald's, Uber, and Walt Disney as AI-driven companies report strong results, supporting optimism in U.S. stock futures, which rose Wednesday.

  • Walt Disney Co. reported $23.7 billion in revenue and $4.6 billion in operating income for the quarter ending June 28, 2025.
  • The results showed continued increases in streaming subscribers and robust attendance at theme parks, despite difficulties faced by linear networks and underwhelming theatrical box office performances.
  • Disney's streaming segment reported a 6% increase in revenue, reaching $6.2 billion, along with an operating profit of $346 million, while revenue from linear networks declined 15% to $2.3 billion, primarily due to the restructuring related to Star India.
