@Barcode：$Walt Disney(DIS)$ $Paramount Global(PARAP)$ $Netflix(NFLX)$ 🎬📊🔥 Disney $DIS Earnings Showdown, Streaming Profits, ESPN Power Play & CEO Succession Shift Decide The Turnaround 📈⚡🎢 Disney $DIS heads into earnings with two major strategic shifts already reshaping the investment case. CEO succession is finally narrowing, with Parks & Experiences chief Josh D’Amaro emerging as a leading contender to replace Bob Iger, while the board signals a final decision is still pending ahead of the March shareholder meeting. At the same time, ESPN’s acquisition of NFL Network and associated league digital assets has officially closed following regulatory approval, strengthening Disney’s sports ecosystem just as streaming profitability becomes central to valuation. Consensus expectations now frame the setup. Street estimates point to roughly $1.57 EPS on about $25.7B in revenue, but the real catalyst is not the quarter itself. It is guidance and leadership clarity. Earnings show execution, leadership decisions shape the next decade. $DIS Earnings Preview 🎬📊 I’m focused on three pillars going into Monday’s pre-market report. Streaming profitability, now the critical valuation lever • Margin expansion versus plateau risk • ARPU improvement and disciplined content spend • Sustainable profitability, not just a one-quarter win Parks & Experiences, still Disney’s financial engine • Attendance resilience and pricing power • Per-guest spending trends holding under macro pressure • Booking outlook and international demand signals into FY26 Linear TV transition, still the drag on consolidated performance • Cable subscriber declines versus digital migration progress • ESPN repositioning and sports digital integration impact • Cost control and margin stabilisation efforts Flow and positioning also matter into earnings. Recent disclosures show Nancy Pelosi trimming exposure across several names, including selling roughly $5M of $DIS, while rotating capital toward growth exposure via call options in $GOOGL. It is not a directional signal on its own, but flows like this always draw market attention heading into event risk. Technically, $DIS is setting up cleanly. Price recently confirmed a bull flag breakout followed by a retest, holding structure above the breakout zone. Momentum recovery now points toward a move into the $125 resistance region, provided structure holds. Key levels traders are watching: • Bullish continuation target near $125 • Structure remains constructive above $108 support • Breakdown below $108 would invalidate the breakout thesis This quarter’s decision points now become clear: ✔️ Streaming margin expansion trajectory ✔️ Parks cash flow durability and demand outlook ✔️ FY26 guidance and buyback signals ✔️ ESPN and NFL digital asset integration strategy ✔️ Management tone ahead of CEO transition clarity I see this print as a referendum on whether Disney is stabilising as a modern media platform or still caught mid-transition. If streaming profitability holds and parks remain resilient, downside risk compresses. If guidance slips, markets may question how fast execution can deliver. This report is not about magic. It is about execution discipline, and that is where the next move in $DIS gets decided. 📢 Don’t miss out!
