Disney to cut thousands of jobs, focusing on theme parks and TV amid cost pressures and weak consumer spending.

Disney's new CEO Josh D’Amaro is implementing major layoffs across the company, targeting a 20% cost reduction. The cuts will heavily impact theme parks and TV divisions, which are crucial revenue sources but vulnerable to declining consumer spending. Despite fears, AI is not the cause; instead, economic pressures and competition are driving the moves. Disney aims to improve investor confidence after its stock lagged behind the S&P 500 over the past five years, with a potential recession looming that could further affect theme park attendance.

As of Nov 03, 2026 21:51 WIB, Disney's stock trades at USD 112.30 on Pluang, down 0.72% for the day. The company's market cap stands at $195.31 billion, with a dividend yield of 1.33%. Pluang data shows a majority of order activity at 67% Sell, reflecting cautious investor sentiment amid ongoing restructuring efforts.
