Disney -- Iger -- Streaming -- Update -- The Other Shoe Is Yet To Fall -- April 30, 2023

Locator: 44505D.

Streaming: link here. Streaming wars.

Disney, Iger working the issue.

Bullets:

  • 7,000 layoffs by summer
  • across all segments: Disney Entertainment, ESPN, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products
  • but also reports point to a sizable number of cuts at Disney+
  • top three executives were let go over the weekend
  • these and other actions represent a larger shift for the streaming division's future
Iger, who stepped back into the CEO position in November, has remained hyper-focused on profitability even as investors shift focus away from subscriber growth and put more emphasis on margins. [Didn't we say that just a few days ago with respect to EVs?]
The company's direct-to-consumer division, which includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+, shed a whopping $4 billion-plus in its fiscal 2022 ended October 1, after it spent an estimated $33 billion on content last year.
Since that time, Iger has worked hard to establish new revenue streams like Disney's recently launched ad-supported tier, in addition to various price increases to help pare losses.
In its latest quarter, streaming losses narrowed to $1.1 billion in Q1 from $1.5 billion in Q4 — ahead of the company's previous guidance.
Still, losses were up compared to the year-ago period when direct-to-consumer losses totaled $593 million.
Iger reaffirmed the company's outlook of reaching streaming profitability by the year 2024.

Fascinating story. A billion here and a billion there isn't going to "cut it." We're going to need to see a huge change. The other show is yet to fall.

Random Factoid -- April 30, 2023

Locator: 44504B.

From two plays in the Bakken (northern and southern) to one play, the northern: Whiting. 

From missed opportunities to rising star: Oasis. 

Oasis and Whiting recently merged --> Chord.

Just between you and me, recent Oasis wells seem to be several times better than those of Whiting (anecdotal, not a statistical analysis by any means).

Perhaps it's location, location, location, but both are concentrated in the northern Bakken, in a very, very small geographical area.  

Usual disclaimers apply. Comments are often opinions. It is hard to separate facts from opinion on the blog, and that's why I call them factoids.
