Key facts: Double-Digit EPS Growth; Disney Weighs Cuts for Reinvestment

What happened

Disney forecast 12% adjusted earnings-per-share growth in fiscal 2026 and double-digit growth in 2027, which means profit per share is expected to rise. June-quarter revenue rose 7% to $25.2 billion and operating income climbed 21% to about $5.6 billion.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Disney is reportedly weighing thousands of job cuts, with managers asked to find annual savings of up to 20%. Fewer jobs would lower costs, and the savings are planned for reinvestment in content, technology, parks and cruises, which could support future revenue and profit growth.

Analyst inference

Parks, TV and film may face deeper cuts, though timing and scale are unconfirmed. Investors weighing the stock face a trade-off: near-term cost cuts and reported savings could lift profit, while disruption from job cuts and spending on new content and parks may take time to pay off.
