As a Disney shareholder for the Club, Jim Cramer has decided to support activist investor Nelson Peltz's fight for seats on the board of the entertainment and theme parks giant. It means he's going to vote to put the Trian Partners founder Peltz and former Disney CFO Jay Rasulo on the Disney board. Jim believes Peltz and Rasulo will hold Disney's board and management accountable for making changes to fix the business and turn around the company's underperforming stock. "It is ridiculous to me that Netflix has crushed Disney," Jim said. As a subscriber to the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer, you will receive a trade alert before Jim makes a trade.

Catapulting off an aircraft carrier is a sharp, jarring experience even more intense than the landing, and I recently experienced this firsthand in a US Navy C-2 Greyhound. Jake Epstein/Business InsiderThere were a couple of very small windows on the aging Greyhound, but they were behind me, mostly out of sight. Jake Epstein/Business InsiderAside from facing the wrong way, taking off from Bahrain felt a lot like any other commercial flight I've ever been on.

The US Navy spent months shooting down Houthi drones and missiles in the air. Business Insider visited US Navy warships in the Red Sea this week and learned more about this tactical shift. AdvertisementThe US Navy spent months tirelessly shooting down Houthi threats in the air, but it never struck the Iran-backed rebels in Yemen directly. The shift in tactics toward an emphasis on preemptive action began in mid-January and has seen the US destroy a large amount of Houthi drones and missiles, including anti-ship cruise and ballistic missiles. Beyond taking out airborne drones, the Navy is using intelligence to identify them in Yemen before they are launched and strike them there.

☆ Disney stakes its claim in the upcoming Peltz board fight with an amazing quarter
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-07 | by ( Jeff Marks | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +10 min

That's what makes the upcoming proxy battle between Disney and the activist investor Nelson Peltz so compelling. Peltz's Trian Partners investment firm oversees about $3 billion worth of Disney stock, including shares held by former Marvel Entertainment Chairman Ike Perlmutter. For its fiscal second quarter, Disney expects net additional subscribers to Disney+ between 5.5 million and 6 million, with domestic adding 7.5 million due to its agreement with Charter Communications, while international core subs decline modestly. Disney is getting closer and closer to achieving its first profitable DTC quarter, which it continues to expect in its fiscal fourth quarter. In the Experiences segment, Disney delivered record revenue, operating income, and operating margin in its fiscal first quarter.

Read previewAs it turns out, millennials can sit with the new "Mean Girls." But contrary to the marketing that made millennials feel ancient, the new "Mean Girls" isn't trying to push its thirtysomething viewers in front of a bus. The trailer called millennials old to their faces in a bold, pink-lettered declaration: "This isn't your mother's 'Mean Girls.'" Her talent is indisputable and can easily be recognized and appreciated by a member of any generation who finds themselves in a theater showing "Mean Girls" this winter. Thankfully, making a "Mean Girls" movie that isn't for millennials is just as impossible as making fetch happen — but the fact that they ever tried to still isn't grool.

Trian Fund Management on Thursday announced it was nominating its CEO, Nelson Peltz, and former Walt Disney CFO Jay Rasulo to the media giant's board, as the firm wages a contentious proxy fight with Disney. The firm announced it was seeking two board seats for Peltz and another media executive, following what it called "significant value destruction and missteps" that the board oversaw. Trian's proxy fight comes as Disney CEO Bob Iger tries to right the ship after a broad restructuring that resulted in thousands of layoffs. Disney has said the proxy fight is apparently in part due to a personal grudge held by Peltz's ally and former Marvel boss Ike Perlmutter. Trian has oversight of shares owned by Perlmutter, who has been an outspoken critic of Disney CEO Bob Iger.

Activist investor Ancora on Tuesday urged Disney to put Nelson Peltz on its board, days after Peltz and his firm, Trian, launched a proxy fight with the entertainment giant. "Mr. Peltz (or a qualified designee) would make a fantastic addition to Disney's Board." Trian oversees about $3 billion in Disney stock, but the overwhelming bulk of the shares is owned by Perlmutter, whom Disney laid off earlier this year. Trian is seeking more than two seats on Disney's board, which is populated by directors seen as loyal to Iger. Ancora owned more than 60,000 shares of Disney as of September, according to FactSet.

Broadridge Financial Solutions , which provides proxy services for big corporations during boardroom brawls, could generate as much as $50 million in event-driven revenue from the Peltz-Disney war, according to Evercore ISI analyst David Togut. During Trian's 2017 proxy battle against Procter & Gamble, the consumer giant paid about $60 million to Broadridge for proxy service, Togut said. Evercore ISI said a company's retail investor base is the best representation for Broadridge's revenue. Since Disney has 81% of the retail shares P & G has, it estimated that Broadridge could make up to $50 million from the proxy war. Evercore ISI set an outperform rating on Broadridge and raised its 12-month price target to $230 from $226.

Activist investor Nelson Peltz and his firm are seeking more than two seats on Disney's board, according to a person familiar with the matter, setting the stage for a proxy fight.

Mr. Perlmutter owns 78% of the shares that Mr. Peltz claims beneficial ownership of, or more than 25 million of the 33 million shares," Disney said in a statement.
