The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Parks, Experiences & Consumer Products revenues is currently pegged at $6.71 billion, indicating growth of 54.6% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.

Disney+ has emerged as a key growth driver for Disney, primarily driven by its solid content portfolio. Disney began the exclusive streaming of Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness exclusively on Disney+ during the to-be-reported quarter.

Disney recently began offering its streaming service, Disney+, in 16 countries across the Middle East and North Africa.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate number of paid subscribers: Disney+ is currently pegged at 148.703 million, suggesting 28% growth year over year.

However, operating profit at Disney’s Parks, Experiences and Products businesses is expected to have suffered from the closure of Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disney.
