Disney makes tough decision: Hundreds of employees have to leave!
The Walt Disney Company is facing a profound restructuring of its structures. On June 2, 2025, the company announced that it would lay off several hundred employees in film, television and finance. This decision follows the ongoing challenges facing the media and entertainment group.
Disney has focused heavily on streaming services in recent years, including Disney+, Disney+ Hotstar and Hulu, which together account for 55.3% of net sales in the entertainment and audiovisual production category. Despite these efforts, it turns out that the costs and competition in the streaming market are enormous, which leads to these drastic measures.
Sales distribution and company structure
The Walt Disney Company's net revenue distribution shows that 44.3% of revenue comes from entertainment and audiovisual production. In addition, the operation of theme parks and hotel resorts contributes 33.9%. Disney operates a total of 13 theme parks and 40 hotels in the USA, as well as other parks and hotels in Europe and Asia.
| area | Share of net sales |
|---|---|
| Entertainment and audiovisual production | 44.3% |
| Operation of theme parks and hotel resorts | 33.9% |
| Continuity in the cruise industry | 19% |
Another major revenue generator is the production of sports-focused programming, which includes ESPN and ESPN+. These different lines of business allow Disney to balance itself internationally, with 79% of revenue coming from the Americas and the remainder from Europe (11.2%) and Asia/Pacific (9.8%).
Current market data
The Walt Disney Company is currently trading at $112.36, down 0.61% over the last five days. The last close was $113.04 and the average price target is $123.90, representing a distance of 9.61% from the current price. The company's market capitalization is an impressive $203 billion.
With a workforce of 195,720, the Walt Disney Company is one of the largest employers in the media industry. However, the recent layoffs could significantly impact the future work environment and employee morale as the company attempts to adapt to a rapidly changing market environment.
Overall, it remains to be seen how these restructurings will impact the Walt Disney Company's long-term strategy. The challenges in the streaming market and the need to remain profitable will continue to shape the company's decisions.
