The Walt Disney Company reported third-quarter financial results that surpassed analyst estimates, primarily fueled by growth in its streaming and theme park divisions. Parks profit rose by 20%, double the consensus expectation of 10.5%, which the company credited to high per capita spending and robust attendance trends.

The streaming segment also outperformed projections, achieving a 13% operating margin. To strengthen its position in the short-form vertical video market, the company announced a new partnership with TikTok. This strategic move is intended to help the conglomerate compete more effectively against rivals including Netflix and YouTube.
