Breaking Disney exploring options to sell or join venture Disney Star India Business

[The Lonelier Island]

Disney overpaid in their Fox acquisition. It was a known fact. Everyone raised this question but the macro economics were in good shape and Disney's other properties like Theme Parks, Movie Studio and Linear TV fired on all cylinders.

Star India's cash flow was supposed to reach $1 billion in 2019 but they will have negative cash flow in FY24.

Such a shame. Disney ruined Star India with their poor leadership.

Than pandemic also affect their hospitality business. Ruining their theme park business. Also India is one of the rare big market where they don't have one single Disney Park.

Star had monopoly when it came to sports. They had not one but all 3 big cricketing rights.

Star did like Neo/Ten in Sports sector, Who knows Reliance's Viacom18 too have monopoly in few years. Acquiring Sports business of Sony/Star they will get access all 3 big cricketing rights and other major Cricket/Sports properties too.

Disney needs to purchase Hulu from Comcast.

They can't take any more debt so better to sell non growth assets like Star India. Analysts predict cash flow will shrink even more in FY24.

Bob Iger is at Sun Valley now. He talked about selling or spinning off linear TV distribution asset in the US. The same could be done here too.

Exactly this or get bought by some tech company.

I don't think Disney can be acquired or merged when Joe Biden is POTUS.
