Propelled by a strong box office performance by "Deadpool & Wolverine" and profits in streaming, Walt Disney Co. reported strong fourth-quarter results.

The Walt Disney Co. ended its fiscal 2024 on a high note, thanks in large part to its theatrical film division and growth in streaming, even as its ESPN and experiences businesses dragged down net income slightly compared to a year earlier.

Disney’s fourth-quarter adjusted profit beat Wall Street’s expectations, bolstered by strong results from its streaming service and box office success with “Inside Out 2” and “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
