A Burbank, CA based The Walt Disney Company, together with its subsidiaries, operates as an entertainment company worldwide.

On November 8, 2022, Disney reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year end October 1, 2022.

Specifically, The Walt Disney Company's direct-to-consume segment reported a operating loss of $1.47 billion compared to a $630 million loss in the same quarter the prior year while revenue in the segment increased just 8% to $4.9 billion. The Walt Disney Company also reported a decline in its average revenue per Disney+ subscriber, as more customers subscribed through a discounted bundle with Disney's other services. Notably, the bundled offering made up about 40% of domestic subscribers, confirming that The Walt Disney Company was relying on short-term promotional efforts to boost subscriber growth while impairing Disney +'s long-term profitability.

Shares of The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) declined from $126.48 per share on August 16, 2022, to $86.28 per share on November 9, 2022, respectively $84.07 per share on December 28, 2022.

The plaintiff claims that between December 10, 2020 and November 8, 2022, the defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that Disney+ was suffering decelerating subscriber growth, losses, and cost overruns, that the true costs incurred in connection with Disney+ had been concealed by Disney executives by debuting certain content intended for Disney+ initially on Disney's legacy distribution channels and then making the shows available on Disney thereafter to improperly shift costs out of the Disney+ segment, that Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution ("DMED") had made platform distribution decisions based not on consumer preference, consumer behavior, or the desire to maximize the size of the audience for the content as represented, but based on the desire to hide the full costs of building Disney+ 's content library, that Disney was not on track to achieve even the reduced 2024 Disney paid global subscriber and profitability targets, such targets were not achievable, and such estimates lacked a reasonable basis, and that defendants had materially misrepresented the actual performance of Disney+, the sustainability of Disney+'s historical growth trends, the profitability of Disney+, and the likelihood that Disney could achieve its 2024 Disney+ subscriber and profitability targets.

Those who purchased shares of The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) have certain options and should contact the Shareholders Foundation.
