(Translation: No one knows what the heck is going to happen with Donald Trump in the White House again. But more on that in a moment…)“This is a happy plot twist for Disney,” Paul Verna, vice president at research firm eMarketer, told me. Of course, the third act of the hero’s journey has its own pitfalls, which Disney still has to navigate. “We, in many respects, have already consolidated,” Iger said on Thursday’s earnings call. As in any good final act, the journey should, at the very least, be entertaining.

Persons: Hugh Johnston Organizations: Disney
Disney has done the math on separating its TV networks business, and it appears too messy to be done — at least for now. The company's chief financial officer, Hugh Johnston, said Thursday on CNBC's "Squawk Box" that the "cost is probably more than the benefit" when it comes to separating its TV networks business, given the "operational complexity." The future of the traditional TV network business has been top of mind in the media industry. In late October, Comcast executives said they were exploring a separation of the cable networks business. Disney reported Thursday that revenue for its traditional TV networks was down 6% for its most recent quarter to $2.46 billion, while profit in the division sank 38% to $498 million.

Disney dodges the Trump question

Last week, Warner Bros. "In a way, we've already consolidated," he said on the company's earnings call Thursday morning, in response to a question about M&A possibilities during Trump 2.0. Disney, like other media companies that have news organizations, has already drawn Trump's ire, during the 2024 campaign. During that fight, conservatives harped on the company, calling it too "woke," while liberals — including some Disney employees — felt the company wasn't forceful enough in standing up for diversity. AdvertisementIt's no surprise, then, that Iger didn't say the word "Trump" once during his call.

For Disney's fiscal 2025, streaming will generate enough operating income to offset the parallel decline in operating income from linear TV, Johnston said in an interview. Disney projects entertainment direct-to-consumer operating income will increase by about $875 million next year over fiscal year 2024. That would put the division at over $1 billion in operating income for the coming fiscal year. Disney's combined streaming businesses improved their profitability in the company's fiscal fourth quarter, posting operating income of $321 million. For the year, Disney's entertainment streaming platforms (Disney+ and Hulu) made $143 million in operating income.

Shares of Disney (DIS) are exploding higher – up 10% just after the market open Thursday. And it forecast profits from streaming will rise another $875 million in the new fiscal year, helping to lift results. Legacy media companies such as Disney that have gotten into streaming in the last five years have struggled to make the business profitable as they sought to catch up with Netflix, which had been the only profitable streaming service until recently. Disney needs to have improved results from streaming as its cable and broadcast network business continues to suffer from a combination of ad sales declines an cord cutting by consumers.

Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino told CNBC's Jim Cramer on Tuesday that the nature of live music keeps it in demand, which helps the business stay strong — even though some consumer-oriented companies report a pullback due to inflation. Live Nation, which also owns Ticketmaster, has its hand in many aspects of the industry. Live Nation shares jumped more than 4% Tuesday after the company posted earnings and reported its most successful summer concert season to date. Rapino claimed that 2025 would likely be "a record year" with a lot of stadium performances, adding that Live Nation has already sold more than 20 million tickets. "The amount of music available to the consumer today has just propelled this idea that they want to see the live show."
