If it was at $6 i would have backed the truck up and bought all i could until the machine said i can't buy any more!!!!! And then I would have asked "anyone know why DIS is trading $12?" lolMan, I read this as, "why DIS is $6 this morning," and I was like...WHAT?I was thinking I should buy, that is if there was even a company left to buy!
That little minus sign is important.

Disney Lost $170 Million With Live-Action ‘Snow White’
Yeah all told the studio sector for calendar 2025 turned a profit based on earnings, a blog post from yesterday off a Forbes breakdown of a film everyone already knew didn’t perform well at the box office isn’t moving the stock.But they had a blockbuster year anyway with Lilo & Stitch, Z2, Avatar 3...

Thanks @wabbott , that does make more sense than the explanation of just getting caught in the tech/netflix downdraft, especially given NFLX PE is 30 and Dis is 15. Its also the first debt issuance since covid, that could have spooked investors too. By the way, that 15 PE is about as low as DIS has gone the last decade or so. Bob is leaving Josh a truly broken stock, can Josh work some magic for us long suffering investors?https://www.forbes.com/sites/caroli...on-borrowing-drives-stock-down-to-almost-100/

Kind of makes me wonder what the metrics are for Josh's bonus compensation. What date do that use as the benchmark from which they measure shareholder value.Thanks @wabbott , that does make more sense than the explanation of just getting caught in the tech/netflix downdraft, especially given NFLX PE is 30 and Dis is 15.

Interesting turn of events. I see the board continues to favor Netflix though. It looks like this is an attempt to maximize the selling price for its shareholders. Giving PSKY 7 days to improve its offer will likely result in a better deal than is already on the table. But it is also likely that Netflix will be forced to up its bid to compensate.https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/17/netflix-wbd-waiver-deal-talks-paramount-skydance.html
