Disney tops earnings forecasts with streaming gains, raises guidance
Shares of Walt Disney were down about 2% in premarket trading. (AP pic) LOS ANGELES : Walt Disney posted better-than-expected results for April through June and raised its full-year earnings guidance today as the company's streaming television profit grew and US theme park visitors increased their spending. Adjusted earnings per share rose 16% from a year ago to US$1.61 for Disney's fiscal third quarter. Analysts had expected US$1.47, according to the consensus estimate from LSEG. For the full year ending in September, the company projected adjusted EPS of US$5.85, a 10-cent increase from a prior forecast. The rosy earnings report was released a day after Disney announced a major deal with the National Football League, which will take a 10% equity stake in Disney's ESPN sports network. The value of the deal was not disclosed. Disney is working to build its streaming business in both sports and entertainment as traditional TV viewing declines. It is also expanding its popular theme parks and cruise lines. ESPN's new direct-to-consumer platform, priced at US$29.99 per month, is set to launch on August 21. Earlier in the day, Disney struck a deal to become the exclusive US domestic home of all WWE Premium Live Events, including WrestleMania, starting 2026. Disney is paying US$1.6 billion for the rights, the Wall Street Journal reported today. CEO Bob Iger said the launch of the ESPN app and the NFL deal, along with a coming integration of Hulu into Disney+, would create 'a truly differentiated streaming proposition'. 'With ambitious plans ahead for all our businesses, we're not done building, and we are excited for Disney's future,' Iger said. The company projected it would add 10 million Disney+ and Hulu subscribers in the current quarter, most of them from an expanded partnership with cable operator Charter. Shares of Disney were down about 2% in premarket trading. In the just-ended quarter, operating income in the entertainment division fell 15% to US$1 billion. Disney attributed the drop to lower results from traditional television networks and the strong performance of the film 'Inside Out 2' a year earlier. Disney's parks division reported a 13% increase in operating income to US$2.5 billion. Profit at domestic parks rose 22% even with new competition in Orlando, Florida, from Universal's Epic Universe, which opened in late May, as visitors increased their spending. 'Walt Disney World in Orlando posted record revenue for the quarter,' Disney CFO Hugh Johnston said. At the sports unit, operating income rose 29% to US$1 billion. Domestic ESPN profit fell 3%, partly from higher programming and production costs, including rate increases for NBA games and college sports.

Wall Street futures edge up amid Fed rate cut optimism, earnings in focus
S&P 500 E-minis were up 0.25%, Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 0.05% and Dow E-minis were up 0.34%. (EPA Images pic) NEW YORK : US stock index futures rose today amid growing expectations of the Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rate cuts this year, while investors assessed a new wave of corporate earnings. At 5.37am, S&P 500 E-minis were up 16 points, or 0.25%, Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 11.75 points, or 0.05% and Dow E-minis were up 149 points, or 0.34%. Advanced Micro Devices dropped 5.9% in premarket trading after the chipmaker reported disappointing revenue from data centre, an artificial intelligence (AI) chip segment that investors have been betting for higher growth. AI server maker Super Micro also underwhelmed as it missed fourth-quarter revenue estimates, sending its shares plunging 16.7%. Shares of rivals Dell Technologies and HP Enterprise fell 3% and 0.9%, respectively. Attention will be on earnings reports from Disney, Uber and McDonald's due before the opening bell. Airbnb, DoorDash and Lyft will report after the market closes. The damage from US trade war on the results of Yum Brands, Caterpillar, and Marriott as well as a series of weak economic data pushed Wall Street lower yesterday. Data showed US services activity unexpectedly stalled in July, with businesses saying President Donald Trump's new tariff rates are pushing costs higher. That followed Friday's report, which showed weaker employment growth in July and sharp downward revisions for the previous two months – suggesting deteriorating labour market conditions that increased bets for a rate cut in September. According to the CME Group's FedWatch tool, odds for a September rate cut stand at 85.5%, up from 46.7% a week ago, while traders see at least two cuts by the end of 2025. Trump's tariff threats showed no signs of easing. Yesterday, the president said he would impose a 'small tariff' on pharmaceutical imports before hiking it to triple-digit percentage in a year or two. Trump also announced plans for new levies on semiconductors and chips in the 'next week or so'. Adding to the uncertainty, Trump will decide on a nominee to replace outgoing Fed governor Adriana Kugler by the end of the week, while saying he narrowed the possible replacements for Fed Chair Jerome Powell to a short list of four. Economies worldwide were still scrambling to strike favourable deals with Washington. Beijing's trade truce with the US is set to expire on Aug 12, as the world's two largest economies move toward an agreement. Among other movers, Arista Networks jumped 13% after the cloud networking firm forecast third-quarter revenue above analysts' estimates. San Francisco Fed president Mary Daly, Boston Fed chief Susan Collins and Fed board governor Lisa Cook are scheduled to speak later in the day.

Intrepid Metals Acquires Key Patented Mining Claims Near Ivanhoe Electric at Corral Copper Project in Arizona
Intrepid shall pay the vendor US$100,000 upon closing and the remaining balance of US$375,000 on or before January 31 st , 2026. , 2026. No common shares or other securities are issuable pursuant to the Agreement. The vendor is arm's length to the Company. No finder's fees are payable in connection with this transaction. [email protected] Vancouver, British Columbia - Newsfile Corp. - August 6, 2025 -or the) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") with private owners for highly sought after patented mining claims (the "Viewsite Claims") immediately south/southwest of the Ringo Copper-Gold Zone at the Corral Copper Property ("Corral" or the "Property") in Cochise County, Arizona. The Viewsite Claims are located within 2km of the Ivanhoe Electric ("Ivanhoe") claims, which Ivanhoe acquired following Intrepid's successful 2024 drill program. Please refer to Intrepid News Release dated January 15, 2025 for further details. The Viewsite Claims cover several prospective targets that are geologically consistent with mineralization previously encountered at the Ringo Zone, where drilling intersected 112.95m of 1.50% copper and 216.50m of 0.71% copper*."The Viewsite Claims are strategically located between our high-grade Ringo Zone and the claims acquired by Ivanhoe following our highly successful 2024 drill program at Corral and securing these patented mining claims is a strategic step that strengthens our position in the district," said Ken Engquist, Chief Executive Officer of Intrepid. "Located immediately adjacent to our Ringo mineral rights, the Viewsite Claims host several compelling targets that we are eager to evaluate through upcoming exploration. An added advantage is that the Viewsite Claims are patented mining claims, which provide full ownership of both surface and mineral rights. This advantage streamlines permitting, increases operational flexibility, and adds long-term value to our portfolio."The Viewsite Claims add 348 acres of patented mining claims and increases the Company's land position to roughly 10,346 acres (4,187 hectares). They have excellent exploration potential, supported by geological, geophysical, and historical data. The Viewsite Claims share key characteristics with the adjoining Ringo Zone, including intensely altered multi-phase porphyry intrusions, porphyry style alteration (quartz-sericite-pyrite), and skarn and carbonate replacement style mineralization. Geophysical surveys reveal magnetic and resistivity features consistent with subsurface mineralization, together representing several priority targets. Historical drilling intersected anomalous copper, gold, and silver in several locations. The presence of reactive Paleozoic limestones, jasperoids, and supportive trace element geochemistry further demonstrate the potential for CRD-style mineralization. Complex structural fabrics, including stacked thrust faults and abrupt geological transitions, enhance the likelihood of mineralization. Zones of high-grade mineralization are present, underscoring the need for additional mapping and drilling. Overall, the Viewsite Claims are highly prospective for porphyry, CRD, and skarn-type systems and warrant continued terms of the Agreement are as follows:*For additional technical information on the drill results disclosed in this news release, including data verification and QA/QC procedures, please refer to the Company's news releases entitled "Intrepid Metals Intersects 216.50m of 0.71% Copper Starting 29m from Surface at Corral Copper in Arizona" dated July 10, 2025 and "Intrepid Metals Drills 20.20% Cu, 8.51 gpt Au and 250.00 gpt Ag (23.85% CuEq) at its Corral Copper Property in Arizona" dated July 9, 2024 available on SEDAR+ at and Mr. Daniel MacNeil, P. Geo, a consultant of the Company, is a Qualified Person ("QP") as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. MacNeil has reviewed and approved the technical information disclosed in this news Corral Copper Property, located near historical mining areas, is an advanced exploration and development opportunity in Cochise County, Arizona. Corral is located 15 miles east of the famous mining town of Tombstone and 22 miles north of the historic Bisbee mining camp which has produced more than 8 billion pounds of copper. Production from the Bisbee mining camp, or within the district as disclosed in the next paragraph, is not necessarily indicative of the mineral potential at district has a mining history dating back to the late 1800s, with several small mines extracting copper from the area in the early 1900s, producing several thousand tons. Between 1950 and 2008, various companies explored parts of the district, but the effort was uncoordinated, non-synergistic and focused on discrete land positions and commodities due to the fragmented ownership. There is over 50,000m of historical drilling at Corral mainly centered on the Ringo, Earp and Holliday Zones and although this core has been destroyed, Intrepid has a historical digital drill hole archive database which the Company uses for the purposes of exploration targeting and drill hole planning. Intrepid, through ongoing exploration drilling and surface geological mapping, sampling and prospecting is increasing confidence in the validity of these Corral Copper Property is currently comprised of the Excelsior Property, the CCCI Properties, the Sara Claim Group and the MAN Property. The Company has completed the acquisition of the Excelsior Property and Sara Claim Group through purchase and sale agreements. The Company has the right to acquire the corporate group that holds the CCCI Properties through an option agreement. The Company has the right to acquire the MAN Property through an option agreement.
