>It’s official: Disney shareholders shot down activist investor Nelson Peltz‘s effort to win seats on the Mouse House’s board of directors. Investors voted to reelect all 12 of the company-backed board members, including CEO Bob Iger, ending the most expensive corporate proxy fight in history.

Kennedy staying until 2026
Soon she will oust Iger Weinstein style and soon become the sole ruler of all thing's Disney. That or she kills him in his sleep.
>Soon she will oust Iger Weinstein style
ngl i almost wanna see that
Not matter of it, only when.
>Disney stocks drops another record low
You stupid homie wannabe homosexual cracker ass cracka. More Money Disney losing the better.
So they want to go against their own fan base and continue flopping?
iger is righting the ship and peltz would just be a distraction he doesn't need while he's doing it
>t. voted today
Do you think Iger was being serious when he said he was done with the woke shit ("the movies are too focused on messaging" or whatever) or do you think it was just an empty statement?
Let me check
>~~*Iger*~~
My magic 8-ball said "outlook not so good"
Disney is in the hole financially and every aspect of their business is on fire. their theme parks are too expensive and old/broken, their movies are shite and don't draw money, and their merchandising for key brands like Star Wars sits on shelves collecting dust. Yeah, Iger is now rudely aware that mainstream audiences reject progressivist bullshit.
The truth is most of Hollywood was aware two or three years ago. the problem is that the pipeline from script to screen is about three years. so if everyone has the bright idea to jump on the progressive train and lose a bunch of money you won't see a course correction for two to three years. we're seeing the beginnings of that correction now.
That isn't how ideological cults work, anon. They put down their heads and soldier on.
a ship turns slow but not this slow, it ain't happening
>iger is righting the ship
Iger can't right a ship full of holes. Disney is in the state it is in currently mostly from Iger's reckless spending on shit like Pixar, Fox, and Star Wars.
How does it feel holding stock in a dying company? When accounting for inflation, Disney is currently trading at the same price as it did in 1995, and it has not managed to surpass the peak in 1998. What a terrible fricking investment

what happened in '98 that made it peak that year?
Same thing that drove the dotcom bubble and the 2020-2021 bubble. Very loose fiscal conditions so people began throwing money at literally anything because everything went up.
By loose fiscal conditions I mean interest rates went from like 10-20% during the 1980s to like 3-5% in the 1990s, so people began spending like drunk sailors. Same thing with 0% interest in 2020 and central banks printing enormous amounts of money
Man I can't imagine anyone who bought shares in Disney in the last 30 years being excited about the state of the company, which is literally anyone under the age of 50. Tells you the average age of a Disney shareholder, I guess.
>Doesn't account for dividend payments
Useless
Oh wow, an annual return of 0.50-0.80% through divvies while tech stocks are up thousands of percent even when accounting for inflation. Great investment boomerino
>Every investment except NVDA is bad!
You're gonna lose so much fricking money kek
VT and chill, brother. VT and chill.
>Babby doesn't understand real growth vs nominal growth
If you're not beating inflation, you're losing. And VT is losing
It takes 3 years for hollywood to notice a trend and visibly act on it, due to sunk costs and production cycles.
IDpol movies have been routinely flopping since 2016, Disney has been suffering from it since 2020, and absolutely no recently announced projects indicate they know or care about the problem.
Yes CHUD
>So they want to go against their own fan base
close... they are going against the shareholders who are invested to make PROFIT
>flopping?
I wish you Black folk all made the 3 stars wars movies a huge hit.
The first one was a huge hit
TLJ made 600m less than their projections, to the point where they had to revise them twice in order for it to seem less catastrophic.
RoS made 200m less than that despite costing more
Solo outright bombed.
If you're going to pretend this is what disney wanted out of their investment, please make your own investment in some rope.
A dogshit movie like the force awakens should never make 2 billion dollars. The fact the other two dogshit movies made a billion is even worse. You people say you hate Disney yet keep giving them your money.
TFA made money due to a marketing blitz in its honeymoon phase, and by banking on the Not Lucas appeal, which despite zoomer revisionism was a powerful factor. After that inertia took over, and the fact it was cut in half despite all is a testament to how shit the movies were.
>You people say you hate Disney yet keep giving them your money.
Given how you keep spewing this apropos of nothing, I'm almost certain this is the projection of an ex consoomer. Forgive yourself, you were likely young and stupid when you gave disney your money. Just don't do it again.
People also wanted to believe that TFA was simply the platform for better movies. I remember distinctly when I saw it, being disappointed by the immediate retread of A New Hope, and how utterly un-adventurous the film was, but making excuses for it even as I watched it:
>It's okay if they do something more interesting in the next film
>it'll be worth it if they can build on this
>there's lots of material here to work with, they can make something out of it
And then TLJ came out and I refused to pay to see the third one after that turd.
I mean, that’s fine. One or two guys on the board wasn’t really going to change much anyway. It’s honestly not like there’s much left to salvage at this point anyway. Yaaay, more shitty sequels that nobody asked for, and ugly mulatto dyke main characters that nobody’s going to watch anyway. Let’s pop some bubbly to celebrate.
You ended 3 out of 4 sentences with "anyway". You must be fricking livid.
noice, didney might actually go bankrupt now
>yes, we want more flops and underperformance
alright then, i guess
Those weren't greenlit under Iger dumbass
Good, good, should be make shorting their stocks more predictable.
Reminder that it's Bob Iger, by his own admission, who forced Lynch to reveal who the killer is in "Twin Peaks."
Iger, please.
Vanguard backed Iger at the last minute, it's just proof these big israeli investment firms are putting social politics over profits. Iger has done terrible since he has came back.
do you think i care?
disney had been flopping all over the place and will continue its decline, its more entertaining to me to watch it go down in flames
This the Disney company has been more entertaining than anything they've put out in years
Yes and now Disney stock has plummeted again
>indiana jones 5 and the marvels were the two biggest flops of all time
>released in the same year by the same company
Lose how?
So Bob Iger has put off going to jail for a little longer. His criminal malfeasance will still catch up with him eventually.
what stops Peltz from trying again?
He doesn't need to, Disney probably wont exist pretty soon at the rate the stock is tanking.
Nothing
Peltz will get 4 seats next year.
He probably will
He's old as shit.
>He's old as shit.
Peltz still has influence at Disney, either Iger gets ousted or something much worse.
He was ritually humiliated
Rape.
Disney's shareholders don't seem to happy about this.
Weren't they the ones who voted for this?
and what stops them from giving Peltz a seat at the table if it means getting it back up
You need a certain amount of shares in order to vote.
Lucas sided with Iger and he's the largest single shareholder. From the sound of things Iger and his crew only just had enough votes to stay on.
>Disney director Maria Elena Lagomasino, whose seat Trian contested, won 63%, according to people familiar. Peltz won 31% of votes cast.
I wonder why. Lucas was very outspoken publicly about his distaste towards the sequel thing.
holy cow that doesn't look too great, is this on purpose?
I mean isn't it Bog Iger's fault that Disney is a dumpster fire? he just handed it off to that other guy when he knew he fumbled the bag.
then again, maybe the guy who fricked it up is the best guy to fix it, cuz he knew where he went wrong
>he just handed it off to that other guy when he knew he fumbled the bag.
thats not the case. apparently the opposite. Bob Chapek was apparently doing a better job than he anticipated and Iger got scared so he sabotaged him every step of the way. he wanted a controllable figurehead with no real power while he ran things behind the scenes, not someone who had his own ideas.
yea perhaps. either way its Iger who fricked it up.
No, Bob Iger was expecting a shitstorm so let another leader take the heat before coming back. But this time, he wasn't aware of the shitstorm as much.
>Supreme court rules that corporations are people
>Demons take it as carte blanch to start posessing fortune 500s.
>One of the signs of signs of demonic possession is self mutilation.
It's a war for the carcass. who ever is in control at the end will get to decide who gets when when they split the company up and sell it off.
can't wait to urbex bankrupted abandoned disney parks within the coming decade
Oh yes, israeli power struggles over who'd be better at controlling the goyim.
all that control and they still can't take gaza
Was the last time you checked on the war in october?
One of them is losing the control over the ones with the money and catering to those with little to no money or more likely to pirate than pay vs the other who wants the control back entirely. Can you guess who is who?
these two look related
They are technically since their ancestors only had 12 women to frick after the bubonic plague which they even admitted to with their own article and facts
Who own Disney stock?
Blackrock and Vanguard are the biggest Disney shareholders. Private equity is ruining everything. The reality is that if you have an IRA you potentially are part of the problem. The beating stop when enough people with retirement accounts tell Blackrock and Vanguard to fricking kill themselves. The problem is that boomers care more about their retirement gibs than the health of society.
Retail investors also voted for Iger's slate though
>Some 75% of retail investors who cast votes backed the company’s slate.
Iger spent $70 million on campaign and attack ads against Peltz. That's enough money to fund a US presidential campaign.
It's not even about individual stocks, it's about index funds. Blackrock and Vanguard don't go out and buy Disney stocks because they're Disney, they have shares of the entire market and sell portions of those shares to their investors, so you aren't betting on a company, you bet the market. Index funds are *the* most consistent and safe bet to make. For Disney to tank, it needs to be delisted, which it seems they're on the way to doing.
>t. Vanguard index funds holder
Passive investment is still a pretty small portion of the market and since, as you mentioned, everything is bought according to market weight, the price discovery is still driven entirely by active investors.
but what would they gain from Disney being delisted?
nothing outside of wanting to make propaganda makes any sense.
It's just hubris. They believe Disney is too big a brand to fail. In a way they are right, Disney's cultural capital is almost priceless and firmly ensconced in American psyche, and has a strong global presence. That does not mean they can't go bankrupt, though. Disney makes enough bad decisions, it doesn't matter how many priceless IPs they own. They have a lot of overhead to pay every year, and still have a mountain of debt to repay, so if their revenues can't keep them ahead of their costs, they will eventually go under.
>Heh, we're gonna own the chuds by making woke garbage
So more of the same then.
Disney is saved! Free tickets to Forces of Nature™ for everyone!
Now that yidsney spent $40,000,000 in an investor battle they can get back to hemorrhaging hundreds of millions lmao
Watching Disney fail repeatedly is far more amusing than any movie they've made in years.
I for one am happy to see that massive failure will continue.
won what exactly
We will keep making stupid, woke movies that lose us hundreds of millions of dollars
What a win!
Go back to trolling on /misc/, discord troony
Fricking moron
