Disney stock today: DIS slips as $10M FTC kids-privacy order, “Zootopia 2” record hit grab focus

NEW YORK, January 1, 2026, 15:25 ET — Market closed Walt Disney shares ended 0.9% lower in the final U.S. trading session of 2025 on Wednesday, before markets shut for New Year’s Day. The move came as investors weighed a fresh regulatory headline around how the company labels children’s content on YouTube. Why it matters now is less the size of the penalty than the reminder that privacy compliance can quickly become a market issue for ad-driven media businesses. Streaming platforms have leaned harder into advertising, and any suggestion of weak controls around kid-focused content can raise questions about oversight

Disney stock falls on $10 million YouTube kids-privacy settlement as ‘Zootopia 2’ record fails to lift shares

NEW YORK, December 31, 2025, 15:30 ET — Regular session The Walt Disney Company’s shares fell on Wednesday after U.S. authorities said the entertainment group agreed to pay a $10 million civil penalty to resolve allegations tied to children’s privacy rules on YouTube.
