Across Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu, the company reported nearly 174 million subscriptions at the end of Q3. Revenue for its direct-to-consumer segments jumped 57% to $4.3 billion.
Parks, Experiences, and Products segment returned to profitability for the first time since the pandemic began. Still, parks alone are not yet profitable.
