| Adjusted EPS | $1.57 | $1.49 |
Highlights from the Report
Weinand noted that "all three aspects of their business did extraordinary" – streaming, theme parks, and merchandise. He highlighted that consumers are spending despite high theme park ticket prices ($300 entry, ~$1,000 per person) and rising streaming subscription costs. While most consumers are in middle- to upper-income brackets, lower-middle-class consumers are also spending at entry-level goods stores like Ross Stores and TJ Maxx.
