He is no longer portrayed as an untouchable ruler.

Over the past few weeks, Bob Iger has experienced a decline in his position as CEO of Disney. However, the earthquake might have only just started.

Yesterday, we were discussing how the shareholder meeting that Disney, which was planned to take place on April 3, was expected to be quite busy. A genuine battle between forces that are attempting to seize authority or, at the very least, make the stance of the authorities that are at odds with one another more transparent. On the one hand, Disney itself, with its CEO Bob Iger in the lead as a contender to extend his position; on the other hand, Trian Fund Management, led by activist investor Nelson Peltz; and on the other hand, a third signature—all of these individuals are candidates for the job. The capital of Blackwells.

When the numbers are revealed. The option of Nelson Petlz, a controversial investor whose manners, resume, and fear of woke politics that, according to him, is damaging Disney’s name, bring him closer to Donald Trump (of whom he is, in addition, a good friend), was the one who had the chance to stand up to Iger. Petlz was the one who had the opportunity to challenge Iger. In the past, he had employed this tactic in businesses that had boards of directors that were ultimately subject to his plans. Some examples of these businesses were Procter & Gamble and Heinz.

Plans devised by Peltz. Peltz believed that he had the ability to intervene in Disney politics due to his ownership of 900 million shares, which is equivalent to 0.5% of the company. However, some of his words were an attempt to calm people down.

As an illustration, he asserted that he was in agreement with the recent removal of 7,000 employees from the company’s workforce. Furthermore, he stated that he backed Iger, but that he was contemplating not supporting the CEO’s campaign. In other words, his objective was to undermine the leadership of Iger, a goal that was unquestionably supported by an old adversary of the CEO, the former president of Marvel Entertainment, Ike Perlmutter, who was sacked by Iger the previous year and is the owner of 79% of Disney shares that Trian owns.

Iger becomes victorious. According to the initial reports that have surfaced regarding the resolution of the fight, it appears that Iger has emerged victorious. According to Reuters, which was the first news organization to report on the matter, internal sources have stated that Iger’s campaign has been successful. He would have been exposed to the possibility of Trian appointing two individuals to the board of directors: Peltz himself and Jay Rasulo, who had previously served as the Chief Financial Officer of Disney. In the same way, Blackwells Capital would not have been able to emerge victorious.

There are no suggestions. It’s possible that Peltz’s failure was due to the fact that he didn’t have any proposals to provide. He was critical of Iger’s lack of bold and detailed objectives, but he didn’t have much to offer himself. CNN’s analyst Barton Crockett stated, “I don’t think Peltz has offered a change plan that will make people say: yes, we have to bring in Peltz and change things.” Crockett was referring to the fact that Peltz has not proposed a change plan. The fact that Iger has received backing from notable individuals such as George Lucas and Walt Disney’s grandkids has also worked against him.

Iger has suffered a loss. It is important to remember that Peltz’s intention was not to replace Iger but rather to destabilize him. Let us not forget what we indicated earlier. Due to the bittersweet financial results (previous year concluded with a gain in the share price but a dip in the number of Disney+ subscribers) and attacks on his untouchable position like this, the image of the CEO who has guided the firm to success is progressively evaporating.

This perception is a result of the fact that the CEO has led the company to success. The question of whether or not this is all a part of Peltz’s strategy for the medium term remains unanswered; but, it is abundantly evident that Iger’s leadership is more questionable than it has ever been.

I have a lot of work to do. “Iger has lost the aura of invincibility and infallibility,” a Disney investor said to CNN when discussing the company’s CEO. At this point in his career, the word “humble” is not one that comes to mind when thinking about Eddie Iger.

Both he and the board have found this to be an experience that has taught them humility. And one wonders, after they have triumphed over Peltz, whether they will take any lessons from his failures or whether they will simply disregard all of this as a nuisance and a diversion, just as they have done in the past. Whoever emerges victorious will, without a doubt, face a future loaded with uncertainties before Disney.

Over the course of a dramatic shareholder vote that took place on Wednesday, Disney’s kingpin Bob Iger defeated activist investors who wanted to take control of the firm away from him. The struggle was far more evocative of Succession than Fantasia.

Iger was able to further secure his grip over Disney and its future as a result of the vote, which was preceded by nasty campaigning in which both sides spent tens of millions of dollars to sway shareholders. In the course of the meeting that was broadcast live, a spokesperson from Disney stated that Iger’s group had emerged victorious by a “sufficient margin.” Nelson Peltz, a billionaire corporate raider, was his primary adversary. He had contended that Disney was becoming too “woke” and was thereby failing its stockholders.

After becoming CEO of Disney in 2005, Bob Iger has guided the company through a number of different eras. He was the driving force behind Disney’s expansion into the theme park industry, the acquisition of Pixar, Marvel, and Lucasfilm, and the introduction of Disney+, which brought the corporation into the era of streaming services. He has demonstrated a reluctance to lose his ironclad grasp on the corporation, as seen by the fact that he returned to the position two years after stepping down in 2020 in favor of Bob Chapek, whom he had personally selected to succeed him. Since then, he has made a commitment to end his tenure in the year 2026.

His adversary Peltz, a corporate raider who has conducted campaigns in the past to shake up PepsiCo, Procter & Gamble, and Wendy’s, has been advocating for Disney to change its strategy for a number of years. In the event that Peltz had been successful, he might have been able to significantly alter the course of the organization as well as the goals it prioritizes.

Over three billion dollars’ worth of Disney common stock is owned by Trian Fund Management, which is owned by Peltz’s hedge fund. As part of his campaign to secure a board seat for this year, he has been quite critical of the box office success of Disney’s recent tentpole films, such as The Marvels and Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, which have been met with lackluster reviews and superhero weariness.

The past three years have been a roller coaster ride for Disney in terms of the stock market. The current price of the company’s stock is $118, which is a substantial decrease from its peak price of $197 in 2021; nevertheless, it is an increase from $79 in October. Last year, Iger made an effort to reduce expenses by eliminating approximately 7,000 positions.

The financial report that Disney released in February was greater than what was anticipated, and Iger promised that the company will see significant returns on upcoming releases such as Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) in the Disney+ streaming service. Additionally, he has outlined intentions to overhaul ESPN for the streaming region and to spend sixty billion dollars on new theme park attractions and cruise ships.

But Peltz did not consider this to be sufficient. “We want the stock to go up fundamentally and crudely,” Peltz stated in a video. “We want the stock to go up.” During the shareholder meeting that took place on Wednesday, he stated that it was “undeniable that the shareholders have suffered over the last two years.” He went on to say that “while the last few months have been great for the stock, the long term track record still remains disappointing.”

It was his goal, along with that of Jay Rasulo, a former Chief Financial Officer of Disney, to get two highly sought-after board seats. According to their argument, Disney ought to be achieving “Netflix-like margins” of fifteen to twenty percent. During the final three months of 2023, Netflix added thirteen million new subscribers. The Disney+ streaming service, on the other hand, has lost 1.3 million core users during the same time period and is still not profitable. However, the business stated that it anticipated the streaming service to generate a profit this year. This was, in part, due to the introduction of a new tier that is financed by advertisements, as well as price rises and crackdowns on password-sharing.

The current board of directors at Disney, which is overseen by Iger, has gotten backing from George Lucas as well as institutional heavyweights such as BlackRock and T. Rowe Price. A number of organizations, including the California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS), have expressed their support for Peltz.

Peltz’s efforts were also a reflection of the greater cultural conflicts that were taking place in the United States, particularly those that centered on Disney’s status as a cultural powerhouse on a national scale. Right-wing figures have voiced their disapproval of Disney’s purported shift toward “wokeness,” which they asserted includes the choice of a Latina actress, Rachel Zegler, in the role of Snow White and a Black actress, Halle Bailey, in the role of Ariel in The Little Mermaid. Egan-Jones, who is considered to be one of Peltz’s allies in the shareholder dispute, has made the accusation that Disney is currently engaged in “the killing fields of the culture wars.” Additionally, prior to the settlement that took place a month ago, Disney and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had been engaged in a fierce legal battle about the matter.

A recent interview that Peltz gave to the Financial Times was where he voiced his dissatisfaction with Disney’s “woke” efforts. He asked, “Why do I have to have a Marvel movie that is entirely comprised of female characters?” “What is the point of having an all-black cast?” During the same interview, he made it clear that he is likely to back Donald Trump in the election that will take place in 2024. In the shareholder dispute that took place this week, Elon Musk gave his support to Peltz, despite the fact that he does not own any Disney shares.

Bob Iger is currently faced with a number of challenging choices, some of which include determining the future of ESPN, determining who would succeed him, and determining how the firm might navigate a media market that is rife with prospective acquisitions. Furthermore, it is possible that this is not the final conflict that Peltz will have with the corporation. Even before the results of today’s vote were known, Peltz stated, “Trian will be watching.” This statement was made shortly before the results were announced.
