In January, Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) shares declined 0.9%, lagging behind the S&P 500’s 1.4% gain. Despite this, investors are looking forward to Disney’s fiscal first-quarter results on Groundhog Day, which could be a needle-moving moment for Disney stock.

Disney is set to release its financial results on a Monday morning, which is a rare move. The board is expected to announce the replacement for CEO Bob Iger soon, with internal executives like Josh D’Amaro and Dana Walden being considered as front-runners.

Disney may also reveal opening timelines for theme park expansions and the fate of the next two Avatar films. Meanwhile, Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) saw a 5% jump in shares after posting strong financial results, including a big boost in theme park revenue and continued losses in its Peacock streaming business.

Disney’s streaming operations have been thriving, but analysts expect a 4% rise in revenue and a 10% decline in earnings per share for the fiscal first quarter. The company’s relationship with the Muppets franchise is evolving, with plans to feature the characters in new attractions and on TV shows.

The Muppet Show is set to return to ABC and Disney+, with guests like Seth Rogen and Sabrina Carpenter. At Disney World, the annual water park swap is happening, with Typhoon Lagoon closing for maintenance and Blizzard Beach reopening. Investors will also be watching for updates on theme park closures and reopenings.
