Nov 01, 2023 in "Hulu"

Posted: Wednesday November 1, 2023 4:$4pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The Walt Disney Company is set to expand its share in the streaming market by acquiring Comcast Corp.'s 33% stake in Hulu. This move comes as Comcast exercised its right on November 1 to sell its share under the put/call agreement with Disney.

Disney will acquire the remainder of Hulu for more than $8 billion

This deal, which Disney anticipates will cost around $8.61 billion, is based on Hulu's $27.5 billion minimum guaranteed value, a figure agreed upon in 2019. The price reflects NBC Universal's (NBCU) share of Hulu's value minus the expected capital contributions that NBCU owes to Disney.

This acquisition marks a significant step for Disney in bolstering its streaming services as it takes full ownership of Hulu.
