Key Takeaways Disney is entering a new growth phase with streaming finally reaching profitability and the Experiences division expanding rapidly. ESPN is emerging as a pivotal growth engine, with its partnership potential—especially with the NFL—set to redefine sports streaming.

Key Takeaways Increased licensing and production costs will see Disney's profitability decline or they'll pass on these increasing costs to subscribers and risk alienating them. Competition from non-traditional media platforms like YouTube or Tik-Tok could draw younger audiences away from Disney's services.

Key Takeaways Disney will transform to a tourism-centered company focusing on parks and resorts, a space lacking any serious competition. I expect sales to grow 4.3% over the next 5 years, primarily driven by Parks.

Key Takeaways Accelerated global expansion of theme parks and cruises, especially in emerging markets, is driving revenue growth and increasing pricing power. Strengthened digital and sports offerings, combined with refreshed intellectual property, are enhancing engagement, boosting recurring revenue, and improving profit margins.
