The Deets
Despite lower-than-expected earnings results, the company increased its Disney+ subs by 12.1 million to bring the total up to 164.2 million, more than the expected 160.45 million.
The company justified the weaker earnings due to inflation and increased operations costs.
So What

In addition, the company warned that streaming growth may begin to falter going forward.
