$DIS-appointing Earnings

Walt Disney World is said to be the happiest place on earth, but unfortunately, its stock isn’t. ☚ī¸

The company’s shares are approaching fresh year-to-date lows after reporting earnings and revenue that missed expectations.

Its adjusted earnings per share of $0.30 was well below the $0.55 expected. Total revenues of $20.15 billion also fell short of the $21.24 billion expected, driven by weakness in its media and entertainment division, where revenue fell 3% YoY to $12.7 billion. Again, that was well off the $13.9 billion expected.

On the positive side, Disney+’s total subscriptions beat expectations. The 164.2 million number topped the 160.45 million expected, with the service adding 12.1 million subscriptions during the quarter. The company has price hikes for this service planned in December and will also introduce an ad-supported tier to help boost revenues. đŸ“ē

Zoom Avoids Doom (Again)

Zoom Video Communications hasn’t made headlines for many good reasons lately, scraping the bottom of its range as a public company as investors look for other opportunities. However, the stock is jumping today on better-than-expected results, so let’s take a look. 👇

The video chat software vendor’s adjusted earnings per share of $1.22 on $1.15 billion in revenues topped expectations of $1.15 and $1.13 billion. Revenue growth remains anemic, rising just 3% YoY, but the company’s cost-cutting has helped it drive positive earnings vs. last year’s loss.

Walmart Bets Big On Advertising

One of the core themes we’ve been discussing for a long time is the “ad-ification” of everything. No matter where you go or what you do, you’re likely being targeted by some form of advertising. And the reason why is because it’s such a high-margin, profitable business opportunity. đŸŽ¯

As a result, it’s no surprise to see America’s largest employer and big-box retailer, Walmart, leaning heavily into that narrative during its earnings call.
