The entertainment giant is currently going through a bad stage in its operations. THE Disney it did not achieve the desired success with the latest animated films released worldwide, among other vicissitudes that ultimately led to the dismissal of the former CEO, Bob Chapek. But could Disney be bought by apple🇧🇷
The new CEO, Bob Iger, the well-known name of the company, was quick to deny these rumors. Although Apple has the capital to carry out such an acquisition, especially with the market receiving its products well, Tim Cook’s company has never had more momentum (and capital at its disposal) to execute a plan of this scale.
Bob Iger, Disney’s new CEO, refutes Apple purchase rumors
Apple’s “working capital” would be enough to invest in a company the size of Disney. By the way, we have seen several rumors about it, as well as some more cartoons like the possible acquisition of the Manchester United football club. However, it seems that both the purchase of Apple and the Cristiano Ronaldo exclub are two big lies.
It should be noted, however, that it would not be the first time that Apple would be involved in peculiar acquisitions. By the way, the same can be said of Disney, which, in recent years, has acquired several major studios to strengthen its entertainment empire on several fronts. At the same time, they also successfully challenge the hegemony of Netflix with its Disney Plus.
Former CEO fired over Disney financial failures
Chapek held the position of CEO of The Walt Disney Company between 2020 and 2022, years of pandemic that brought bitterness to the most varied sectors. However, it was also the period of frank launch and growth of the Disney+ platform.
The return of Bob Iger was accompanied by the rumor “Apple is buying Disney.” Something that was quickly denied by the entertainment giant, without going into explanations.
It should be noted that the answer comes from the CEO of Disney himself, questioned directly about the possibility, his answer was concise, a resounding “No”.
Bob Iger, CEO, guarantees that Disney will not be bought by Apple
Calling these rumors “pure speculation”, Iger dismissed them. By the way, the executive stated that these types of hypotheses are not reasonable, so he cannot imagine how such rumors began.
However, this thesis has been circulating on the Internet for some years, without ever having advanced evidence in this regard. Even so, Iger had affirmed in 2019 that, if Steve Jobs were alive, the hypothesis of uniting both companies was plausible.
In short, part of the genesis of these rumors is due to the CEO of the company himself, since both Jobs and Iger were close friends, as the publication advances. winfuture🇧🇷
