Disney CEO Bob Iger and activist investor Nelson Peltz are still sparring despite stellar earnings. All signs point to the fact that Peltz's second Disney proxy fight is still on. AdvertisementDespite what one analyst has called Disney's "epic quarter," tensions between CEO Bob Iger and activist investor Nelson Peltz seem to be running as high as ever. And the verbal jabs both sides threw at each other indicate the proxy fight is still on. Peltz has specifically lamented Disney's streaming losses, a pause in dividends, and the lack of a comprehensive succession plan.

Streaming companies turned a blind eye to password-sharing for years. Users of the family-oriented streaming platform received emails this week notifying them of changes to the terms of service. The new terms note that different service tiers may permit some degree of password-sharing — if you're willing to pay. Disney's updated terms of service are almost identical to those of Hulu and ESPN+, which were also announced on January 25. Iger's comments came in the wake of Netflix's successful crackdown earlier last year, when the streaming giant announced it would start charging $8 for users outside the household.

The service will launch this fall and cater to sports fans who don't subscribe to the traditional cable bundle. One person associated with the launch of the new venture told CNBC the platform will be "a monster" and massively disrupt cable TV. Cable TV has been relegated to an add-on that helps keep people subscribing to high-speed internet. The cable bundle has largely survived because it still contains exclusive live news and sports. Previously, the only way for cord cutters to get ESPN outside the cable bundle would have been that coming service.

However, Disney continues to lose money in its streaming service business, though it has cut those losses compared to last year. The announcement of a planned ESPN service comes one day after ESPN, along with Fox Corporate and Warner Bros. it’s pretty dramatic in terms of the amount of time spent in games,” Iger said on CNBC. Disney’s foray into the video gaming space comes as competitor Netflix also ramps up their expansion into video games. In December, Netflix launched three mobile-friendly games from Grand Theft Auto, one of the best selling video game franchises ever.

Disney's fiscal first-quarter earnings per share beat expectations and it said its full-year EPS will rise at least 20% from 2023. Iger also unveiled his strategy and timeline for bringing Disney's flagship sports network ESPN into the streaming era. AdvertisementThe company will launch a stand-alone streaming service with ESPN and its sister networks in the fall of 2025, something Iger called "inevitable." Even if there's consumer demand, the JV faces several hurdles, from challenges brought by existing distributors to antitrust opposition, LightShed Partners wrote in a note published ahead of Disney's earnings release. Challenges aside, the new sports streaming strategy is a big step forward for Iger and Disney.

On Wednesday, Disney CEO Bob Iger revealed that the untitled Disney Animation film slated for Thanksgiving is a sequel to the beloved 2016 film "Moana." Disney's animation studios — Walt Disney Animation and Pixar — have struggled at the box office in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. The decision trained parents to seek out new Disney titles on streaming, not theaters, even when Disney opted to return its films to the big screen. As a result, no Disney animated feature from Pixar or Walt Disney Animation has generated more than $480 million at the global box office since 2019. A sequel to "Moana" will arrive about six months after the theatrical release of "Inside Out 2," a sequel to the hit 2015 animated film about what really goes on inside a person's head.
