Disney Q3 FY2026: Record Experiences revenue, 21% segment OI growth, and streaming margins on track signal broad-based earnings acceleration.

Disney delivered a standout fiscal Q3 FY2026, with total segment operating income up 21% and Disney Experiences posting record revenue of $10 billion, up 10% year-over-year, driven by 4% global guest growth and 4% domestic per-cap spending gains. Streaming margins reached 13% SVOD operating margin in the quarter, with double-digit margins targeted for FY2026, while the advertising upfront produced double-digit volume growth and a sold-out Super Bowl inventory. The company raised its share repurchase guidance from $7 billion to at least $9 billion for fiscal 2026 and guided Experiences OI to the high end of its prior high-single-digit growth range, with both moves funded by the A&E transaction proceeds and freed OpenAI deal cash.

Revenue commentary · FY 2025

Total revenues increased 3% year-over-year, driven by higher subscription revenue, growth at parks and experiences businesses, and an increase in content sales, partially offset by the deconsolidation of Star India following the joint venture transaction with Reliance Industries in November 2024.
