Buying In On The Disney Dream

The Walt Disney Company, more affectionately known as Disney, is the world’s largest media company (in terms of revenue) and a household name synonymous with family entertainment.

The business comprises of four primary divisions, namely: Media Networks, Parks Experiences & Consumer Products, Studio Entertainment and now the Direct-ToConsumer & International businesses.

The Media Networks segment is made up of the broadcast, cable, radio, publishing and digital businesses across two divisions – the Disney/ ABC Television Group and ESPN Inc.

This division has been the largest contributor to revenue historically, although subscriber numbers have started to come under pressure. Scheduled watching of television is migrating to the online streaming space.

Disney is aware of this and in turn has set up its Direct-To-Consumer & International segment, which comprises of Disney’s international media businesses and the company’s various streaming services and is expected to be a key driver to group revenue and success going forward. This segment aligns technology, content and distribution platforms to expand the company’s global footprint and deliver world-class, personalised entertainment experiences to consumers globally.

The parks and consumer products division brings Disney’s stories, characters and franchises to life through parks, resorts, toys, apps, apparel, books and stores. It remains a highly profitable segment of the business, compounding the success of Disney’s content.
