| 0:00.0 | Market moving insight and analysis join Jim Kramer, David Faber, and me, Carl Kintanilla, on the opening bell hour of CNBC Squawk on the Street. |
| 0:08.0 | Good Thursday morning, welcome to Squawk on the Street. I'm Carl Kintanio with Jim K Post-Nine to the New York State Exchange. David Fabers live at Liberty Media's Investor Day in New York. A lot from David all morning long. Meantime, S&P going for nine gains in a row today. Longest win streak in 19 years. To do it, Bulls will have to navigate a 30-year bond auction, more fed speak, including Powell, |
| 0:37.9 | and a wave of media consumer earnings. Our roadmap's going to begin with that extended win streak |
| 0:42.1 | for the S&P and NASDAQ. How long can that rally continue? Also ahead, Disney is one of this |
| 0:48.1 | morning's biggest gainers on better than expected earnings and bigger cost-cutting plan. |
| 0:54.1 | You're also going to hear from John Malone and what he has to say about Disney and streaming |
| 1:00.1 | and so many other topics. |
| 1:02.0 | It's our annual sit-down, an exclusive interview with a man who's been at the center of media |
| 1:07.3 | for 50 years, Liberty Media's chairman, John Malone. |
| 1:15.6 | Main time, let's begin with Disney, Rising on that profit beat, the company also said it plans to increase its cost-cutting measures by an additional $2 billion to a target of $7.5 billion. |
| 1:21.6 | Bob Eiger did join CNBC yesterday to talk about the quarter, including the company's growth and subs. |
| 1:33.3 | We do expect subscriber growth to continue, but we're mostly focused now on delivering profitability by the end of fiscal 24. We had a great quarter, as you just noted, adding 7 million |
| 1:39.2 | core Disney plus subs. That was really the result of great content. Jim, they keep that Q424 profitability target. |
| 1:47.0 | Yeah, I think there are a lot of things good here. There have been a feeling that a $5 billion |
| 1:50.6 | cost takeout wasn't enough. This is from what I regard as the, let's call them the Peltz |
| 1:55.4 | pro-mother faction, Ike being the largest shareholders sold Marvel. |
| 2:07.7 | Now, this is what's really important to me is that the cash flow is so great, I'm now looking for a buyback as soon as next year. |
| 2:09.3 | A good dividend. |
| 2:11.4 | I like what I hear. |
| 2:12.4 | These are surprising. |
| 2:18.1 | Because they have the cash flow, I no longer think they have to do the strategic alliance I talked about yesterday with a gun to their head. I actually like, rather than just presumed to be Apple, I think Amazon |
| 2:24.3 | could be in play as someone who could be a partner for them. So I saw many things that are good. |
