Disney plans major job cuts targeting 20% annual cost savings amid industry challenges.

Walt Disney is considering cutting thousands of jobs as part of a restructuring effort to achieve 20% annual cost savings, according to Bloomberg.

The company plans to reinvest some savings into film, TV, technology, theme parks, and cruise operations. Disney has already reduced its workforce significantly in recent years to improve profitability, with thousands of jobs cut since 2023.

Walt Disney Co shares trade at USD 112.30 on Pluang as of Nov 03, 2026 21:51 WIB, down 0.72% in the last day. The stock's market cap stands at $195.31 billion with a dividend yield of 1.33%. This price movement occurs while Disney considers significant layoffs to cut costs and reinvest in key business areas.
