In brief:<\/strong> Disney missed the mark with slowing subscriber growth late last year but anticipated a strong finish in the holiday quarter. That\u2019s exactly what investors got this week as entertainment and media company wrapped up 2021 with 129.8 million Disney+ subscribers. <\/p>\n

The figure is up from 118.1 million subscribers three months earlier, and is 37 percent higher than the 94.9 million the company finished with a year ago.<\/p>\n

ESPN+, another of Disney\u2019s properties, reached 21.3 million subscribers, an increase of 76 percent year over year, while Hulu\u2019s total subscriber count inched up to 45.3 million users.<\/p>\n

Revenue<\/a> for the quarter ending January 1, 2022, was $21.82 billion with diluted earnings per share of $1.06, compared to Wall Street estimates of $18.36 billion and $0.61.<\/p>\n

Investors have responded favorably to Disney\u2019s latest report. Share value in the Mouse House closed at $147.29 just before the report was published and opened at $156 the following morning. Things have since cooled a bit to $154.20 but shares look to be trending up again.<\/p>\n

Disney\u2019s report was unique in that it detailed regional Disney+ numbers for the first time. In the US and Canada, Disney+ has 42.9 million subscribers. Disney+ Hotstar, which is the company\u2019s streaming brand for the Indian market, enjoys 45.9 million subscribers while the remaining 41 million are international users excluding Disney+ Hotstar.<\/p>\n
