Revenue increased by 2% to $8.4 billion, but operating profit declined by 3% to $2.2 billion. The company is managing costs aggressively as demand softens, which could affect future quarters. Theme parks have become crucial for Disney's financial health, contributing significantly to operating profit and funding expansions in streaming and cruise lines.
