If Disney can't make money on streaming, who can?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 04:53:02 GMT

Shares of Walt Disney Co. fell by 9% Thursday after the company revealed not just another quarter of massive streaming losses but also that 4 million Disney+ subscribers canceled their subscriptions.Disney's direct-to-consumer division, which includes its Disney+ and Hulu streaming services, lost $659 million in the most recent quarter.Some saw that as good news in light of the $1.1 billion loss in the prior quarter and a $1.5 billion loss in the three months before that.However, the narrower loss wasn't due to a surge in new sign-ups -- as noted above, Disney+ said adios to millions of subscribers.It was due to price hikes that boosted revenue, which means Disney is now squeezing more cash out of fewer people.This isn't a winning strategy, but Disney is by no means alone in scrambling to figure out a sustainable streaming business model. Most of the major streaming services continue bleeding cash.In a sense, it's a no-win situation. They're all investing heavily in content to attra...

So I just want teenagers especially to understand that there’s always hope. Don’t give up.”Long an acclaimed Bay Area actor and director, Callende...
