The rapidly expanding streaming service added 12 million new customers in the fourth fiscal quarter, according to Disney, but it also reported an operational loss of about $1.5 billion. Disney+ losses peaked in the most recent quarter, while the company expects a profit in fiscal 2024.
Wall Street analysts are raising concerns about the escalating cost of streaming. The business will have to demonstrate that its entry into direct-to-consumer streaming is worth the investment price it pays for, according to MoffettNathanson analyst Michael Nathanson, who made this observation this week.
