My selected company name was Disney. The stock ticker for this
company is NYSE: DIS and it is in the entertainment industry. Disney
is a company that has been around for about a hundred years now
starting from just one person creating cartoons and it has grown to
be one of the most well know companies around the world having
theme parks across the world. Not only does Disney have theme
parks and merchandise, but the company as a whole owns a number
of other companies, streaming services and television networks.
Some of the assets are ABC and NBC, Disney+, Pixar, Marvel and
Star Wars. Overall, over one hundred years has shown how just one
person can turn a small business into one of the largest companies in
the world.
One thing that stood out to me on the balance sheet was the total
assets. In the article that I found, you can see that the total assets
double that of 2017 to 2021. This shows just how much this
company has gained in just about four years and I think it would be
interesting to see a much longer span of time to see how fast they
have been obtaining assets or if just in the last few years is where
they are doing this.
