Context and risks
Disney's pay-TV networks business (ESPN, linear channels) is exposed to cord-cutting and advertising revenue pressure, a structural risk not captured by financial metrics. The ECB's rate hike and potential Fed hike make Disney's debt financing more expensive (ND/EBITDA 1.95), though not at a critical level.
