What has Disney done with it's Fox Portfolio and is Hulu worth it's estimated price tag? 2 2

[Xenosmilus]

I truly don't know if Hulu is worth the 27 billion value I heard floating around and for the life of me I don't know what Disney has done with its Fox purchase. They seem to be sitting on it. Just wondering what others think...

$27 billion is the low end estimate for Hulu.  Rumors are Comcast is pushing for a valuation closer to $75B. When Disney must meet it's contractual obligation to buy them out, they could be on the hook in the $9B to $25B range.  I have no idea how it is worth that much money.

It is no longer really worth that much. This transaction will hurt DIS some more. Maybe the rumours of a sale of DIS to AAPL will finally come true.

As was touched on before, seeing as how they have to buy the 1/3rd stake from Comcast I am sure they are sitting on it so that the value is as cheap as possible.  Better to pay $9 Billion than $25 Billion.

Good point, I hadn’t thought of that angle.

Some have said that Disney is withholding content snd support to depress the value of Hulu. Now maybe putting Secret Invasion on the service is to depress the value also.

I saw an article that said there were rumors that Disney wanted to sell Fox. If they do, no more X-Men or FF.
