I was half expecting to start this quarter's live blog with news of who the new CEO of the Walt Disney Company is. The current rumor is that the Disney Board of Directors will be making that vote soon, sometime this week, but it apparently hasn't happened yet. That means If the new CEO, who will take over in 2027, joins Bob Iger on future earnings calls, that means this could be his last one without the new boss in tow.
Disney's earnings report for the quarter has been released. It's generally good news, including $10 billion in revenue for the Disney Experiences (which includes Parks and consumer products), a first for the company. This is a good time for that particular division to be setting records, since its head Josh D'Amaro is one of the two who are believed to be in the race for the Disney CEO.
