In a recent report from CNBC, anonymous executives confessed their prediction that Bob Iger will return as CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2022. One executive told CNBC there are “already internal wagers at Disney about Iger returning.”
Public outcry against current CEO Bob Chapek grows as Disney stock suffers a nearly 20% year-to-date decline. Disney has recently kicked up a PR campaign, seemingly in hopes of improving opinions of Chapek.
Iger’s hesitancy to step down is well documented. Iger delayed his retirement four times before selecting Chapek as his replacement in early 2020.
There has been no official indication that Chapek is on the way out or that Iger will return.
