Disney lays off hundreds amid leadership change and industry challenges

Disney is laying off several hundred employees across its human resources and technology departments, following earlier cuts this year. These layoffs come as the company undergoes a leadership transition with CEO Josh D'Amaro taking charge in March, and faces challenges like AI advancements, declining box office revenue, and streaming competition. Earlier in 2023, Disney cut 7,000 jobs to save costs and offered voluntary early retirement packages to longtime executives. The company continues restructuring to adapt to the evolving entertainment landscape.

Walt Disney Co shares trade at USD 105.08 on Pluang as of Sep 30, 2026 05:31 WIB, down 0.59% for the day. This price sits closer to its 52-week low of USD 92.40 than its 52-week high of USD 116.65, indicating some pressure on the stock amid ongoing restructuring. Despite the challenges, Pluang investors show full buying interest with 100% buy orders and a dividend yield of 1.42%.
