Disney’s 3Q Bolstered by ‘Toy Story 5,’ Ongoing Strength at US Theme Parks
The Experiences division posted a 20% rise in operating income as domestic parks grew 27% and international parks fell 13%, Disney said.
- On Wednesday, August 5, 2026, Disney reported fiscal third-quarter net profit of $2.6 billion, or $2.06 per share, beating analyst expectations, though revenue of $25.25 billion narrowly missed Wall Street estimates.
- Strong performances in the Experiences division and streaming fueled results, with Experiences operating income climbing 20% to $3.02 billion on $9.97 billion in revenue, while Disney+ and Hulu's combined profit more than doubled to $712 million.
- While "Toy Story 5" surpassed $1 billion at the global box office, the live-action "Moana" and "The Mandalorian and Grogu" underperformed expectations, though the latter contributed to "healthy retail sales" for Star Wars.
- The company announced a global content sharing deal with TikTok on Wednesday to bring fan-created clips to Disney+, and plans to integrate more ESPN games into Disney+ this fall to boost subscriber retention.
- Looking ahead, the company forecasts fourth-quarter operating profit of $4.9 billion and approximately 16% adjusted earnings per share growth, as Chief Executive Officer Josh D'Amaro continues cost-reduction efforts following his succession of Bob Iger.
