Despite the recent addition of new series like “Loki” and Marvel’s “What If…?”, Disney+ subscription rates are slowing. The slowing demand has caused Disney stock (NYSE:DIS) to drop. The stock closed at $171.41, down 3.01% today.
According to a release from Schaeffer’s Investment Research, Inc., Barclays downgraded Disney stock, cutting its target price to $175 from $210. The firm added that Disney is now behind its goal of reaching 150 million Disney+ subscribers by 2024.
The Barclays downgrade is a break from normally bullish attitudes towards Disney stock.

Well we won’t be helping those numbers. Our subscription is up next month, and we will not be renewing.
Fire Chapek! Fire Chapek! Fire Chapek!
I don’t get Disney+, never have. I stick with Disney Channel and watch tons of Disney show reruns. I see no reason to get Disney+. My son never watches Disney shows, but he gets Disney+ at times when there’s something he wants to see, like the Mandalorian. When that’s done he cancels it. I have zero interest in the Mandalorian.
I don’t understand why people get Disney+, being that I’m the only adult I know who watches Disney shows every day. Most people don’t do that, so why do they need Disney+?
Disney+ has some 100 million subscribers, but some of them are from India where the cost is like 50 cents a month or something like that, which isn’t profitable at all.
Even then, I don’t understand why there are so many subscribers. I would think that long term, the number of subscribers should decrease. Not that I want that, some day I might want to get it. Just not now.
I cancelled my sub after Disney fired Gina Carano.
