This is a federal securities fraud class action lawsuit on behalf of those who purchased or otherwise acquired The Walt Disney Company ("Disney") (NYSE: DIS) common stock between December 10, 2020 and May 10, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”).
The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material facts about the success of the Disney+ Platform. Specifically, Defendants repeatedly misled investors about the success of the Disney+ platform by concealing the true costs of the platform, concealing the expense and difficulty of maintaining robust Disney+ subscriber growth, and claiming that the platform was on track to achieve profitability and 230-260 million paid global subscribers by the end of fiscal year 2024.
Current Status of Case:
On February 19, 2025, the Court largely denied Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Complaint but granted the dismissal of certain claims alleged against Defendant Iger. Defendants filed an Answer to the Complaint on March 5, 2025. This action is in the discovery phase and is ongoing.
