Disney plans to layoff as many as 1,000 employees

Disney plans to cut up to 1,000 jobs, largely from its marketing department, according to CNBC. The move is likely aimed at cost savings and could indicate reduced marketing spend, potentially weighing on near-term user acquisition and revenue momentum. Expect modest negative investor reaction and some pressure on DIS shares, though the scale is limited relative to Disney's overall workforce.
