Just How Important Could Hulu Be for Disney?

Just How Important Could Hulu Be for Disney?

As Walt Disney’s (DIS) stake in Hulu is set to double if Disney’s deal with Twenty-First Century Fox (FOX)(FOXA) goes through, it’s important to examine Hulu closely to see what kind of business Disney is seeking to double its exposure to. Disney’s $52.4 billion acquisition of most of Fox’s assets is expected to take its stake in Hulu from 30% to 60%. What’s interesting in all this is that Disney is looking to double its stake in Hulu while it’s planning to roll out its own Hulu challengers as soon as next year.
