Disney’s Q4 profit down 7%

The Orlando Sentinel reports that corporate profits dropped 7% for Disney (an unexpected result) in the fourth quarter, the end of their fiscal year. More specifically for Q4: Company Revenue – $9.7 billion Company Profits – $835 million Parks and Resorts only: sales – $10.8 billion Parks and Resorts only: revenue – $2.8 billion Parks and Resorts only: operating income – $1.3 billion Parks and Resorts only: operating profit – $316 million Labor costs and sluggish DVC sales were cited as reasons for the performance of Parks & Resorts, which was disappointing from the perspective of the analysts. I’m sure the rest of us would love to have problems like this, where the division is generating $105 million per month in operating profit, or about $3.5 million per day.
