The Walt Disney Company operates on a unique fiscal year calendar, and it is ready to reveal its results for its second financial quarter of 2025. When will that happen? It’s coming on the first Wednesday in May.
The ESPN and ABC Owned Stations parent plans to share its fiscal Q2 ’25 results bright and early in the morning on Wednesday, May 7, with an earnings call for shareholders and financial analysts planned for 8:30am Eastern.
The report will come amid extreme economic uncertainty, with new tariffs on all imported goods implemented April 3 potentially upending visibility as the company takes stock of its previous full quarter of its fiscal year.
In fiscal Q1 2025, nervous analysts reacted to the company’s revelation that it experienced a notable decline in the number of streaming subscribers. With much riding on the success of Hulu + Live TV and Disney+ — especially today, as it is poised to purchase FUBO with the collapse of the Venu Sports joint OTT plan with FOX and Warner Bros. Discovery — flat Hulu Live TV + SVOD performance in fiscal Q1 sounded the alarms.
With shares trading at close to $87 in pre-market trading on Friday (4/4), Disney has successfully beaten Wall Street earnings expectations in the last three quarters. For fiscal Q2 2025, Disney has an EPS estimate of $1.21, a composite of some 22 analysts polled by Yahoo! Finance. That would result in flat year-over-year growth. The revenue consensus estimate from data of 20 analysts polled by Yahoo! Finance is $23.17 billion, representing a 4.9% rise.
This suggests Disney must control expenses. And, if the tariff war escalates, that could result in some serious belt-tightening for CEO Bob Iger.
