Investor Ross Gerber renewed his call for a major shake-up at The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS) on Tuesday, saying shareholders have “suffered too long” as the stock significantly lagged the S&P 500 over the past 11 years.
Gerber Says Disney Should Be Broken Up
Responding to a post on X by Creative Planning‘s Charlie Bilello showing Disney lost 10.93% over the past 11 years while the State Street SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) gained 320.1%, Gerber said “It’s time for real change at Disney.”
Gerber, who is also the CEO of Gerber Kawasaki, added that Disney’s individual businesses are worth more separately than together, saying shareholders have suffered too long.
