What makes this internal friction more intriguing is Bob Iger’s recent financial behavior. Over the past year, Iger has sold roughly 80% of his Disney shares, transforming his holdings from over a million shares down to approximately 24,000. This dramatic sell-off raises eyebrows because, while he publicly asserts that Disney is on an upward trajectory, his personal financial moves suggest a different story.
This pattern of disposing of such a significant portion of his stock portfolio could imply several possibilities. It might be a move to diversify personal assets or a preemptive step ahead of potential turbulence. Alternatively, it could signal a lack of confidence in Disney’s short-term prospects—something that starkly contrasts with his public assurances.
