With its resources, Disney can certainly match any bid by Netflix.
- dimitrios1 4y agoI wouldn't be so sure. Looking at the current market capitalization of both companies, Netflix is at 84.57 billion and Disney at 203.Billion. The difference, however, is Netflix could hone squarely in content if it needed to, and can benefit from having a single focus of mind. Disney's resources are allocated into 5 primary verticals, and 2 subsidiaries, with multiple competing budgets, priorities, resource allocations, and most debilitating at a company their size, internal politics. That being said, Disney already funds so much of their own content generation, so the question isn't can Disney match a bid by Netflix (that's already a losing question for Disney), but can Disney create competing content that is more compelling.
