Disney Acquires Streaming Website Hulu: Securing the Remaining Stake for $86 Billion

Disney announced this week that it has agreed to purchase the remaining one-third stake of the streaming website Hulu, a long-anticipated move.

Disney is expected to pay approximately $86.1 billion to NBCUniversal for their one-third stake before December 1, following Disney's previous acquisition of two-thirds of Hulu when it purchased 21st Century Fox.

Disney may pay additional fees based on the real-time equity value of Hulu, with various asset evaluation processes expected to conclude sometime next year.

Originally, Disney and Comcast, the parent company of Hulu, set a deadline to resolve Hulu ownership issues before January next year. However, in September this year, these two competitive media giants accelerated the deadline, essentially confirming the previously announced outcome.
