Disney Stock Jumps on Hulu Stake and Streaming Growth
Walt Disney's stock price has seen an uptick in recent sessions, gaining about 2 percent to $108.74 as of September 2, 2026.
This increase is largely due to investors' renewed interest in the company's significant non-controlling stake in Hulu Live TV, a strategic asset in the streaming television market.
The market has started to give more credit to live TV streaming platforms, which can help Disney monetize its content library and sports rights beyond traditional linear channels.
Disney's operating performance has been improving, with revenue rising 7 percent year over year to $25.25 billion in the latest quarter, driven by growth across all three main segments.
The company's streaming segment saw a significant increase, with Disney+ and Hulu subscription-video-on-demand revenue reaching $5.53 billion, up 11 percent year over year.
