Disney Takes Full Control of Hulu for Billions Less Than Comcast Wanted
The tug of war over Hulu is over. Disney said in a securities filing on Monday that it had agreed to pay Comcast an additional $439 million for full control of the streaming service, ending a year and a half dispute over the amount. Disney had argued that it owed Comcast nothing beyond the $8.6 billion it already paid for Comcast's 33 percent stake — and Comcast countered that Disney owed another $5 billion. Eventually, a third-party appraiser was brought in. The relatively small new payment will not affect Disney's previous guidance for overall company growth in the current fiscal year, Disney said in the filing. The deal is expected to close by July 24. Robert A. Iger, Disney's chief executive, said in a statement that full ownership of Hulu would allow for 'a deeper and more seamless integration of Hulu's general entertainment content with Disney+' and for bundled sales with a new ESPN streaming service that is planned for introduction later this year. In a separate statement, Comcast called Hulu 'a great start for us in streaming,' adding 'we wish Disney well.' Comcast's primary streaming service is now Peacock, which it has been loading with sports content as it seeks to expand advertising sales and subscriber counts. Peacock, which has been unprofitable, has about 41 million subscribers. Hulu, one of the first streaming services, started as a joint venture between Disney, Comcast and Time Warner. It now offers programming from Disney's traditional television networks, including ABC and FX, in addition to original series, including 'Only Murders in the Building.' Hulu, which is profitable, has about 55 million subscriptions. To increase engagement on Disney+ and slow subscriber churn, Disney last year began allowing people who pay for both Disney+ and Hulu to watch both services through the Disney+ interface. That strategy has been a success for Disney, analysts have said. Some analysts expect Disney to eventually discontinue Hulu as a stand-alone app and make it a tile within Disney+.

Disney Closes Hulu Deal With Comcast, Paying Billions Less Than NBCU Was Seeking
After more than two years of haggling, Disney has finally closed its deal with Comcast to buy out NBCUniversal's one-third stake in Hulu — and Disney is paying much less than it would have if NBCU had its druthers. In December 2023, in an initial payment toward the Hulu buyout, Disney agreed to pay $8.61 billion to Comcast, which represented one-third of the $27.5 billion guaranteed floor value for Hulu that was set when the companies entered into their agreement in 2019.

Now, that number has been calculated: Pursuant to the contractual appraisal process that was completed on June 9, 2025, an additional $438.7 million is payable by Disney to NBCU to purchase NBCU's interest in Hulu, according to a Disney SEC filing Monday. The acquisition of NBCU's interest in Hulu will close on or before July 24, 2025, per the filing. The total price Disney will have paid for Hulu is approximately $9 billion, implying a value of $27 billion overall for the streaming company. If the price had been determined by the bank hired by Comcast to assess the value the Hulu stake, it would have resulted in an additional $5 billion payable by Disney. 'We are pleased this is finally resolved. We have had a productive partnership with NBCUniversal, and we wish them the best of luck,' Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a statement. 'Completing the Hulu acquisition paves the way for a deeper and more seamless integration of Hulu's general entertainment content with Disney+ and, soon, with ESPN's direct-to-consumer product, providing an unrivaled value proposition for consumers.' A Comcast spokesperson said in a statement, 'Hulu was a great start for us in streaming that generated nearly $10 billion in proceeds for Comcast and created an important audience for NBCUniversal's world-class content. We wish Disney well with Hulu and appreciate the cooperative way our teams managed the partnership.' In May 2024, Disney and NBCU entered into a 'confidential arbitration' to resolve the dispute over the appraisal process to determine the fair value of Hulu 'in which the parties seek declaratory relief, equitable relief and unspecified damages,' according to an earlier Disney disclosure. Per the companies' agreement, if the two sides' valuations were not within 10% of each other, the banks they enlisted for the transaction would pick a third firm to make another estimate, and Hulu's final valuation will be the average of the two figures that are closest to each other. The valuations arrived at by the Disney and Comcast camps were very different. During the initial phase of the appraisal process, Disney's appraiser arrived at a valuation below the guaranteed floor value, while NBCU's appraiser arrived at a valuation 'substantially in excess of the guaranteed floor value,' according to Disney's filing. The 'final equity fair value' takes into account the valuation of that third appraiser.
