Disney raises the profit view after the delivery of solid parks and streaming results

Disney (Dis) reported on Wednesday in the second quarter in the second quarter, which defeated expectations both at the upper and the lower lines, which are due to a rebound in his inland parking business and a strong performance in his streaming unit.

The company increased its profit forecast for the full year to $ 5.75 per share, an increase of 16% compared to the 2024 financial year and the previous guidance for a high level of attitude of roughly double. Analysts had expected 2025 adjusted profits per share to be available at $ 5.44.

The Disney share rose by up to 8.5% in the early trade in the morning before profits rose to 6%.

The report comes when President Trump’s changing tariff policy stands over the shadow of many companies in this winning season. In its publication, the company recognized the uncertainty and explained: “We continue to monitor macroeconomic developments for potential effects on our companies and recognize that uncertainty about the operating environment for the balance of the financial year remains.”

Disney+ added 1.4 million subscribers in the quarter, a clock compared to the analysts of loss of subscribers surveyed by Bloomberg. The company reported a decline of 700,000 paying users in the first quarter due to the expected user traffic hike from the latest price increases.

In the middle of these price increases and other initiatives such as the access of password releases, the direct streaming unit (Direct-to Consumer), which also includes Disney+ and Hulu, recorded a profit of $ 336 million. This is after 47 million US dollars a year ago and also the expectations of the analysts.

It was the fourth quarter as a result of profitability for streaming business.

The achievement of a constant profit in streaming is of crucial importance for Disney and other media giants, since more consumers switch from conventional Pay TV packages to DTC services. The company has a streaming profit target of around 875 million US dollars in the 2025 financial year.

In total, sales of $ 23.62 billion exceeded the expectations of $ 23.05 billion in a quarter and corresponds to an increase of 7% compared to the same period in the previous year.

The adjusted result per share of USD 1.45 came before the analysts surveyed by Bloomberg of $ 1.20. The result rose 20%compared to a year ago.

Disney’s Parks Business is confronted by further pressure from broader economic uncertainties and an increased competition, especially with the upcoming start of the epic universe of NBCuniversal, which could deduct visitors from Disney’s attractions in Florida.

But the domestic profits in the second quarter do not weigh that.

In its domestic parks, the company recorded an increase in the operating result by 13%, which was supported by an increase in the number of visitors to the theme park and the successful introduction of the Disney Treasure Cruise Ship. This was a strong back rim compared to the decline in the domestic operating result of 5%, which the company had reported in the first quarter.
