Disney reports stronger-than-expected results in its fiscal third quarter, with gains driven by the success of “Toy Story 5” and improved performance in its U.S. theme parks. Multiple outlets cite a 6% rise in overall revenue to $25.2 billion year over year, alongside a 21% increase in segment operating income. Disney attributes part of the improvement to higher attendance at theme parks, while “Toy Story 5” contributes to studio revenue through ticket and toy-related sales. In streaming, Disney says profitability improves further: streaming profits more than double for the quarter ended in June, according to one report.
The company also highlights strategic developments as part of the quarter’s coverage. Reports note that Josh D’Amaro is in his first full quarter as CEO and shares move on the earnings news. In addition, one outlet says Disney reaches a deal with TikTok, and another notes Disney books a roughly $100 million tariff-related refund referenced during the period. Overall, the sources converge on earnings growth supported by film performance, parks, and streaming profitability.
