Peltz notably said that Disney is over earning on the parks (Nickle and dining guests and cast members at the expense of the brand) in order to make up for it's losses on Disney+ and other areas of the company (terrible box office performance). Do you really disagree with that?
Personally? Yeah. I think they are still underpriced for the level of attendance we are seeing.
But really I want to hear the explanation of how the above makes sense. If Peltz was going to stop the overcharging in the parks (lower revenue) and somehow also still spend 60 billion on new park product, what exactly was supposed to be in it for the investors? At that point why would any serious investors vote for him?
So Peltz is out. What now?
The same thing that has always happened. There will be a balance between shareholder needs and customer needs and Disney will find a spot in the middle. The kind of compromise where no one really wins or loses.
