Nelson Peltz warns of Disney’s Moves: “Ill-Directed Rush”

In a recent letter to Disney investors, Nelson Peltz of Trian Fund Management criticized the company’s plans to introduce a new sports streaming service and invest in Epic Games Inc., describing them as throwing spaghetti at the wall. Peltz, who owns approximately $3.5 billion in Disney shares, called these moves “nervous” and “confusing,” and argued that they are not a substitute for a well-thought-out corporate strategy.

Amid declining stock performance and an upcoming clash at the shareholders’ meeting, Disney appears to be attempting to divert shareholders’ attention away from what Peltz considers to be a fairy tale. However, Peltz emphasized that nervous activity during a shareholders’ meeting clash is not a substitute for a well-planned corporate strategy, nor will throwing spaghetti at the wall satisfy shareholders who have been experiencing a lack of profits for some time.

Disney, ESPN, Fox Corp., and Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. recently announced their collaboration to launch a sports-focused streaming service that will include major collegiate and professional games, typically only available on traditional television. Additionally, Disney revealed its $1.5 billion investment in Epic Games, allowing the creators of Fortnite to utilize Disney-themed characters and worlds from franchises such as Star Wars, Marvel, and Avatar.

Following the announcement of better-than-expected financial results for the first fiscal quarter, Disney’s stocks experienced a boost last week. A Disney representative declined to comment on Peltz’s letter. Trian has nominated Nelson Peltz and former Disney CFO Jay Rasulo for seats on the board of this powerful entertainment company. Disney urged its shareholders to reject Trian’s list of candidates.
