The Walt Disney Company (DIS) Looks to Cash In on Its Success

Page 2 of 2

Disney is also picking and choosing its battles. Rather than continuing to make Star Wars-related games, the company decided to close the LucasArts game-development business, laying off 200 employees. The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) will clearly have its pick of premium outside game-developers to promote Star Wars content, and farming out the development to another company could end up bringing in more profit from licensing fees than Disney could make on its own.

In The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS)’s quarterly report, realize that short-term financials are only a small part of Disney’s future prospects. With the company firing on all cylinders recently, only a somewhat rich valuation mars an otherwise promising investment opportunity.
