Walt Disney Co. Announced On Wednesday (8) A Large-Scale Restructuring Led By Recently Reinstated CEO Bob Iger To Achieve US$ 5.5 Billion In Cost Savings.

As part of this effort, the company will lay off about 7,000 employees, representing 3.6% of Disney’s global workforce. This restructuring aims to make the company’s streaming business profitable.

Disney announced a 3.6% reduction in its global workforce, which translated into a 4.7% increase in the company’s shares to US$ 117.22 in after-hours trading. The Mouse House announced measures, including the promise to restore a dividend to shareholders, to address investor Nelson Peltz’s concerns that it was over-relying on streaming.

The company is restructuring its operations into three segments: an entertainment unit covering film, television, and streaming; an ESPN unit focused on sports; and Disney parks, experiences, and products. This change aims to reduce operational costs and return creative power to executives.
