Activist Asks Why Disney's Approval Crashed

Who is Disney’s (NYSE:DIS) new activist?
Disney just received an activist letter from Strive, a new asset
manager focused on shareholders that runs the Strive 500 (STRV).

What do they want?
Strive questions how Disney’s woke politics helps its shareholders. It
is a great company worth saving from ill-conceived politicization.
Demand for parks and entertainment is strong post-Covid. Disney+
subscriptions continue to grow. Park sales are up and there is
demonstrable pricing power. But the current board and management are
imperiling their brand by taking on controversial political positions
and alienating most of their customers.

Disney briefly stays out of politics
One example is Florida’s parental rights in education bill, which
barred teaching on sexual orientation and gender identity to little
kids between kindergarten and third grade. Most Republicans were for
the bill. Most Democrats were for the bill. In fact, over two-thirds
of Americans overall were for it. And Disney tried to stay out of it…
for a brief while. 58% of poll respondents oppose companies wading
into political disputes and that view is likely shared by Disney’s
owners.

Then flips
But after two days of political pressure, Disney came out in
opposition to the bill. They also tried to make $5 million peace
offering to the Human Rights Campaign. Apparently, it wasn’t up to the
task as HRC rejected the payment. Disney went on to plan a multi-state
political campaign against similar legislation elsewhere. When the
Florida bill was signed into law, Disney said that it wasn’t the end
of it and that they would fight for its repeal or for its reversal in
the courts.

Disney v Florida hurts DIS owners
This didn’t appear to serve the interests of Disney shareholders. 61%
of their consumers opposed Disney’s political campaign. Parks were
protested. At least some customers boycotted. More broadly, 87% of
poll respondents said they are likely to stop using services of
companies that advocate for political agendas. Data suggest that these
losses are not compensated for with political supporters of
politicized companies.

Is the Woke Mob just loud and dumb?

To answer your question, YES!! There is a time to speak up, and a time
to shut up. The Disney CEO had a responsibility to shareholders and
employees, not those who "Feel" like they should be a different sex..

I won't subscribe to Hulu for that very reason.

"Hulu is an American subscription streaming service majority-owned by The
Walt Disney Company, with Comcast's NBCUniversal holding a minority
stake."

The NFL isn't so smart either.

I suspect the majority of NFL owners are closet cases that like to
slap a guys ass.
