The Walt Disney Company is laying off hundreds of employees in film, TV, and finance divisions as part of a broader transformation to adapt to the streaming landscape. Recent layoffs follow a 2023 restructuring that cut 7,000 jobs and saved $5.5 billion. Despite layoffs, Disney’s financials show resilience with Disney+ growth and strong theme park results.

The stock is up 21% post-earnings, despite a slight dip to $112.62. Layoffs are part of a strategic reset to streamline operations and align priorities.
