Shares of the Walt Disney Company (DIS) are experiencing a decline on Monday, with the stock having dropped by over 8% in the past month. The entertainment industry is currently facing a significant challenge in the form of a strike by both actors and writers affiliated with SAG-AFTRA, marking the first occurrence of such a strike in more than 60 years. This strike has the potential to disrupt the production and distribution capabilities of the entire entertainment industry, including Disney.

During an interview on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Disney CEO Bob Iger expressed his concerns about the ongoing strikes. He stated that the unions’ expectations were unrealistic and their actions were adding to the already existing challenges within the industry. Iger’s comments highlight the potential impact of the strike on Disney and the broader entertainment sector.

Disney is currently involved in a legal dispute with Florida Governor DeSantis and the state of Florida. Disney has requested the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by DeSantis that aims to end the company’s self-governing control over its theme park operations. The outcome of this legal battle could have significant implications for Disney’s operations in Florida and its ability to maintain control over its theme parks.
