What the Pro's Are Asking

Here are the questions that professional investors are asking before making an investment decision.

Disney generates revenue through its three main business segments: Entertainment, Sports, and Experiences. Experiences generate around half of Disney's revenue and includes parks, resorts, cruise lines, and a vacation club. Most of the revenue from this segment comes from admission sales, food, merchandise, and resort stays. The entertainment segment can be further divided into Direct-To-Consumer (e.g. Disney+)) and Linear Networks (domestic and international cable networks). The sports segment encompasses the sports-focussed television and DTC content. Disney's business model is highly scalable because a success in the entertainment segment can be made into experiences which can generate further revenue.
