Disney Vs. Comcast: Is A Battle Brewing Over The Value And Who Should Own Hulu? A leading streaming platform is owned by two competing media companies. With a deal in place to transfer ownership, leading to a future transaction, things could become heated as a battle now takes place over the value of the platform and what’s next. What Happened: Streaming platform Hulu is 67% owned by The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS ) and 33% owned by Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA ), two competing media companies. Hulu was launched in 2007 as a partnership between several media companies as a platform to air past episodes of television series. While several media companies and private equity investors formerly owned a piece of the company, it was Disney’s buyout of 21st Century Fox in 2019 that gave the company majority control and ownership of the platform. Comcast has a deal in place to sell its Hulu stake to Disney as early as 2024 based on a fair market value. Under the terms of the deal, Hulu will be valued at a minimum valuation of $27.5 billion, which would make Comcast’s stake worth $9.08 billion.
