Disney typically confirms the exact date via Disney Investor Relations 2–4 weeks before the report.

The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) releases its quarterly earnings report four times per year, and the next scheduled earnings release covers fiscal Q3 2025 results (the April through June 2025 period). An earnings date is the scheduled day a publicly traded company releases its quarterly financial results simultaneously to the public, the SEC, and market participants. The upcoming report is separate from the earnings call that follows it. The press release is the written document containing the financial data; the call is the live audio event where management discusses the results.

Disney files a 10-Q (quarterly report) with the SEC following each earnings release, typically within two to three business days. For the full quarter-by-quarter breakdown of how Disney's fiscal calendar maps to calendar months, see the fiscal year section below.

Investors tracking the DIS earnings report date can verify and monitor it through several sources: Disney Investor Relations is the primary and official source for confirmed dates, while third-party trackers including Yahoo Finance DIS analyst estimates, the Nasdaq DIS earnings page, and EarningsWhispers DIS page provide secondary verification. Investors who track earnings schedules for other large-cap companies may also find these guides useful: Apple (AAPL) 2026 earnings reporting schedule and Amazon earnings date 2026 Q1–Q4 schedule.

What Time Does Disney Report Earnings?

Disney reports earnings after market close (AMC), meaning the earnings press release is published after 4:00 PM ET on earnings day.

Before Market Open (BMO) vs. After Market Close (AMC)

Companies that report earnings before market open (BMO) publish their results before 9:30 AM ET, and the market's initial reaction plays out during regular trading hours. Companies that report after market close (AMC) publish after 4:00 PM ET, and the first market reaction occurs in after-hours trading (the extended session that runs until 8:00 PM ET).

Disney consistently reports after market close. For investors, this means the initial buying or selling reaction to the earnings release happens before the next regular trading session opens. For options traders, it means any weekly contracts expiring on the day of the report will have settled before the market reacts, a timing detail that matters when selecting option expiration dates around the event.

Disney's earnings press release typically appears between 4:00 PM and 4:15 PM ET on earnings day. The exact time is published by Disney's Investor Relations team, usually one to two weeks before the report date.

One clarification on terminology: AMC in this context means After Market Close, not AMC Networks or the AMC theater chain.

The Disney earnings call begins approximately 30 to 60 minutes after the press release is published. If the release appears at 4:05 PM ET, the call typically begins around 4:30 PM ET. Disney confirms the exact call start time alongside the earnings date announcement.

How to Watch the Disney Earnings Call

The Disney earnings call is a live audio conference held on the same day as the earnings release, typically beginning 30 to 60 minutes after Disney publishes its quarterly results. CEO Bob Iger and the company's chief financial officer lead the call, presenting segment results and then taking questions from Wall Street analysts. Iger's forward guidance on streaming profitability, ESPN's strategic direction, and parks investment plans typically carries as much weight with investors as the headline EPS figures.

The earnings call is a separate event from the earnings release. The release is the written press release containing the financial tables; the call is the live audio discussion that follows. Both occur on the same day.

To access the Disney earnings call webcast:

1. Navigate to the Disney quarterly earnings webcast page on Disney's official Investor Relations website.
2. Locate the listing for the upcoming earnings event and click the webcast link.
3. Select "Live Webcast" to join at the scheduled start time, or return after the call to access the replay.
4. To read the written earnings press release, click the press release link on the same earnings page. It becomes available when Disney publishes results after market close.
5. For the formal SEC filings that follow (the 10-Q quarterly report or the 10-K annual report), access Disney's 10-Q filings on SEC EDGAR. These are typically filed two to three business days after the earnings release and represent the audited, authoritative financial record.

Replay webcasts and call transcripts are generally available on the Disney Investor Relations quarterly earnings page within 24 to 48 hours of the call's conclusion.

Disney Earnings Estimates: What Wall Street Expects

According to Wall Street consensus estimates as of [DATE], analysts expect Disney (DIS) to report adjusted EPS (earnings per share, excluding one-time charges) of $[X.XX] on total revenue of approximately $[XX.X] billion for fiscal Q3 2025 (Source: Yahoo Finance DIS analyst estimates).

Wall Street consensus estimates represent the average of professional analyst forecasts for Disney's EPS and revenue. When Disney's actual results land above the consensus, the report is described as a "beat." Results below the consensus are a "miss." Financial media headlines almost always refer to adjusted EPS for the beat or miss determination, not GAAP EPS (calculated under standard accounting rules, including all one-time charges). Disney reports both figures, but the headline comparison is invariably adjusted EPS vs. the Wall Street consensus.

EPS, or earnings per share, measures how much profit a company generates for each share of stock outstanding. Revenue is the total amount Disney collects from all its businesses before expenses are deducted. This is distinct from earnings or net income, which is what remains after costs are subtracted.

Analyst sentiment for Disney's fiscal Q3 2025 earnings centers on the continuation of streaming profitability progress and the trajectory of parks demand. Estimates have been shaped by management's guidance from prior calls and by broader signals around consumer discretionary spending. Any revision to the consensus in the two weeks ahead of the report typically reflects analyst model updates following industry data or management commentary at investor events.

Traders active around earnings events also track the earnings whisper number, an unofficial market expectation that incorporates recent analyst revisions and near-term sentiment. The whisper number sometimes diverges from the formal consensus and can indicate where the market's true bar sits. The current DIS whisper number is available at EarningsWhispers DIS page.

What to Watch in Disney's Next Earnings Report

Disney reports across three business segments: Entertainment, Sports (ESPN), and Experiences (Parks). Each segment contributes distinct metrics that drive investor and analyst reaction on earnings day. Below are the specific data points receiving the most attention this reporting cycle.

Disney+ Subscriber Count and ARPU

Disney+ paid subscriber count is the most closely tracked streaming metric in every Disney earnings report. Analysts and investors focus on sequential growth or decline in paid subscribers, and on ARPU (average revenue per user, which measures how much Disney earns per subscriber each month). A quarter showing subscriber growth alongside ARPU expansion signals that the streaming business is scaling profitably; subscriber losses paired with ARPU declines would raise concerns about the business model's trajectory.

Disney completed its acquisition of Comcast's stake in Hulu in late 2023. Hulu subscriber and revenue data are now consolidated into Disney's streaming segment reporting alongside Disney+ and ESPN+. The combined streaming subscriber count (across Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+) represents the full picture analysts assess when evaluating the Entertainment segment. Analysts and investors often benchmark Disney's streaming subscriber trajectory against Netflix, the streaming market leader, particularly when comparing paid subscriber growth rates and the path to profitability.

Streaming Segment Profitability

Disney's Entertainment segment covers the company's film studios, streaming services (Disney+, Hulu), and linear TV networks (ABC, FX, National Geographic). Since Disney's 2023 reorganization into three reporting segments, the Entertainment segment has been the primary lens through which analysts evaluate streaming progress. The key question each quarter is whether the streaming business is narrowing losses or expanding profitability toward the targets management has set. Progress on this front has been a significant driver of overall investor sentiment on DIS over the past two years.

ESPN and the Sports Segment

ESPN represents Disney's Sports segment, a distinct reporting unit from Entertainment. The segment includes both the linear ESPN cable network and the ESPN+ streaming service. Linear ESPN affiliate fee revenue has been under pressure as cable bundle subscribers decline, while ESPN+ has been growing its paid subscriber base. The strategic question around ESPN's future (including discussions about a potential direct-to-consumer pivot and whether Disney might sell a partial stake to a sports league or distribution partner) has appeared on multiple recent earnings calls. Investors are watching whether Bob Iger provides updated guidance on ESPN's long-term positioning.

Disney Parks, Experiences and Products

Disney Parks, Experiences and Products is the official name for Disney's third reporting segment, a scope that extends well beyond theme parks to include Disney Cruise Line, Disney Vacation Club, and merchandise licensing. The segment has historically been Disney's highest-margin business and a key driver of overall profitability. The metrics analysts focus on include per-capita spending (the average amount each park guest spends during a visit), park attendance, hotel occupancy rates, and operating income margin. Any signals about consumer spending softness or strength at the parks tend to move the stock meaningfully on earnings day.

Bob Iger's Forward Guidance

CEO Bob Iger's commentary during the earnings call typically drives as much post-earnings stock movement as the headline numbers themselves. Investors listen closely for guidance on the streaming profitability timeline, ESPN strategic decisions, parks capital investment plans, and capital allocation priorities. The forward-looking statements Iger makes on each call set the market's expectations for the following quarter.

Disney Earnings History: Past Dates and Results

In its most recent earnings report, Disney beat analyst estimates, reporting adjusted EPS of $1.45 against the Wall Street consensus estimate of $1.44 for fiscal Q2 2025, released May 7, 2025 (Source: Disney Investor Relations press release, May 7, 2025). Revenue of $23.6 billion came in above the $23.1 billion consensus estimate. The report reflected continued improvement in streaming profitability and steady performance from the parks segment.

The table below covers eight quarters of Disney earnings history, showing actual results against analyst consensus estimates and the DIS stock price reaction in the trading session following each release.

Disney Financial Snapshot (as of most recent report):

• Most recent EPS: Beat consensus in 7 of last 8 quarters
• Streaming profitability: Improvement trend ongoing; segment reached profitability in fiscal 2024
• Parks revenue direction: Positive; per-capita spending has grown year-over-year
• Dividend status: Reinstated January 2024 after 2020 suspension; modest payout
• Stock YTD performance: Verify at publication via Yahoo Finance DIS

Sources: Disney Investor Relations, Yahoo Finance. Beat = actual above consensus estimate; Miss = actual below consensus estimate. DIS Next-Day Move = closing price change in the regular trading session following the earnings release. Populate next-day move data from EarningsWhispers at publication. Past earnings reactions are not indicative of future results.

Over the eight quarters shown above, Disney beat the adjusted EPS consensus estimate in seven of eight reports, demonstrating a consistent pattern of reporting above Wall Street expectations on the headline profit metric. The next-day stock price move has varied depending on the report's composition and management guidance. A beat on the headline numbers can still produce a negative price reaction if forward guidance disappoints. For the current DIS implied move ahead of the upcoming report, refer to EarningsWhispers DIS page.

Disney suspended its dividend in 2020 due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and reinstated a modest cash dividend in January 2024. Dividend status and any changes to the payout are typically addressed during quarterly earnings calls.

Understanding Disney's Fiscal Year and Quarterly Calendar

Disney's fiscal year runs from early October through the last Saturday of September, not from January to December. This non-standard calendar means Disney's fiscal quarters do not align with calendar quarters, a distinction that creates confusion when investors and financial media refer to "Disney Q1" or "Disney Q2."

Disney's fiscal year 2025 (FY2025) covers October 2024 through September 2025. So when financial media reports "Disney Q1 2025 earnings," the story is describing results for the October through December 2024 period, not January through March. The fiscal year number corresponds to the calendar year in which September falls.

Disney's fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of September, not September 30. The exact end date shifts slightly from year to year depending on the calendar, which matters for financial modeling and SEC filing deadlines.

Disney reports earnings four times per year, once for each fiscal quarter. The Q4 report, released in November, also includes full fiscal year results.

Disney confirms exact earnings dates via Disney Investor Relations typically 2–4 weeks before each report. Other major companies also operate on non-calendar fiscal years; see the Nvidia earnings report Q1 FY2026: date and what to expect for a parallel example.

Frequently Asked Questions About Disney Earnings

When is the next Disney earnings report?

Disney's next report covers fiscal Q3 2025 (April through June 2025) and is expected in August 2025. The exact date will be confirmed by Disney's Investor Relations team, typically two to four weeks in advance. The earnings release publishes after market close, with the live earnings call beginning approximately 30 to 60 minutes later. Confirmed dates appear on Disney Investor Relations.

What time does Disney release earnings?

Quarterly earnings from Disney arrive after market close (AMC), meaning the earnings press release is published after 4:00 PM ET on earnings day. Press releases typically appear between 4:00 PM and 4:15 PM ET. The earnings call begins approximately 30 to 60 minutes after the release. Disney confirms the exact release and call times on its Investor Relations website one to two weeks before the report date.

What fiscal quarter does Disney report next earnings?

Fiscal Q3 2025 is the quarter Disney reports next, covering April through June 2025. Disney's fiscal year runs October through September, so fiscal Q3 does not align with the standard calendar third quarter. Based on Disney's historical reporting pattern, the fiscal Q3 2025 report is expected in August 2025.

Does Disney report earnings before or after market close?

Disney reports after market close (AMC), not before market open (BMO). The earnings press release is published after 4:00 PM ET. The initial market reaction (buying or selling in response to the results) occurs in after-hours trading before the next regular session opens. Note: AMC here refers to After Market Close, not AMC Networks or the AMC theater chain.

What are analysts expecting from Disney earnings this quarter?

According to Wall Street consensus estimates as of [DATE], analysts expect Disney to report adjusted EPS of $[X.XX] on total revenue of approximately $[XX.X] billion for fiscal Q3 2025. Estimates are compiled from professional analyst forecasts and are subject to revision. For the most current figures, refer to Yahoo Finance DIS analyst estimates. This content is informational only and does not constitute investment advice.

What is Disney's fiscal year?

Disney's fiscal year runs from early October through the last Saturday of September and does not follow the standard January-to-December calendar year. Disney fiscal year 2025 (FY2025) covers October 2024 through September 2025. This structure means Disney's fiscal Q1 covers October through December, which is frequently confused with the calendar first quarter of January through March.

When did Disney last report earnings?

The fiscal Q2 2025 earnings report was released on May 7, 2025. Disney reported adjusted EPS of $1.45, beating the Wall Street consensus estimate of $1.44. Total revenue of $23.6 billion exceeded the $23.1 billion consensus estimate. The result represented a beat on both headline metrics (Source: Disney Investor Relations press release, May 7, 2025).

Did Disney beat earnings last quarter?

Yes. In its fiscal Q2 2025 earnings report (released May 7, 2025), Disney reported adjusted EPS of $1.45 vs. the $1.44 consensus, and revenue of $23.6 billion vs. the $23.1 billion estimate (Source: Disney Investor Relations press release, May 7, 2025). Disney has beaten the adjusted EPS consensus estimate in seven of the last eight quarters.

How do I watch the Disney earnings call?

Navigate to the Disney quarterly earnings webcast page on Disney's official Investor Relations website. Click the webcast link listed for the upcoming earnings date and select "Live" to join at the scheduled time. If you miss the live broadcast, return to the same page within 24 to 48 hours to access the replay. Transcripts are also typically posted within 48 hours.

What is Disney's earnings per share estimate?

Analysts expect Disney to report adjusted EPS (earnings per share, excluding one-time charges) of $[X.XX] for fiscal Q3 2025, according to Wall Street consensus estimates as of [DATE] (Source: Yahoo Finance DIS analyst estimates). Adjusted EPS is the metric financial media uses to determine whether Disney beat or missed expectations. GAAP EPS, which includes all charges under standard accounting rules, will also be reported and is typically lower than adjusted EPS. The price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, calculated by dividing the stock price by EPS, is a valuation metric that updates with each new earnings release.

How many times a year does Disney report earnings?

Disney reports four times per year, once for each fiscal quarter (fiscal Q1 through Q4). The four report windows typically fall in February (Q1), May (Q2), August (Q3), and November (Q4). The Q4 report also includes full fiscal year results. Disney's fiscal year runs October through September, so these windows do not align with standard calendar-year quarters.

Where can I find the Disney earnings calendar?

Four sources cover the DIS earnings calendar: Disney Investor Relations (official source, confirms dates first), Yahoo Finance DIS earnings calendar (estimates and history), the Nasdaq DIS earnings page (secondary data tracker), and EarningsWhispers DIS page (whisper numbers and timing data). Disney IR should be the primary reference for any confirmed date.

Should I buy Disney stock before earnings?

Whether to hold, reduce, or add to a DIS position ahead of the earnings release is a personal investment decision that depends on individual factors: risk tolerance, investment horizon, position size, and analysis of Disney's fundamentals. Relevant data points to review include the current analyst consensus, Disney's historical post-earnings price moves, and, for options traders, the implied move priced into contracts expiring after the report. This content is informational only and does not constitute investment advice. Consult a qualified financial advisor before making investment decisions.

Does Disney pay a dividend?

Disney suspended its dividend in 2020 due to pandemic-related business disruptions and reinstated a modest cash dividend in January 2024. The reinstated dividend is smaller than Disney's pre-2020 payout, and DIS is primarily a growth and business-recovery story rather than an income-focused holding. Dividend guidance and any payout changes are typically addressed on quarterly earnings calls. Current dividend information is available at Disney Investor Relations.
