The clearest engine behind the upside was Disney's Entertainment segment, where streaming profitability took a meaningful step forward; Entertainment SVOD operating income surged 88% to $582 million, pushing the segment to a double-digit operating margin of 10.6% for the quarter. Experiences also contributed, generating record fiscal Q2 revenues of $9.49 billion, up 7%, even as pre-opening costs for new cruise and park projects trimmed margin gains. On the outlook, management raised its fiscal 2026 share repurchase target to at least $8 billion and guided third-quarter total segment operating income to approximately $5.30 billion, with full-year adjusted EPS growth now expected at roughly 16% including the benefit of a 53rd fiscal week, and double-digit growth targeted again in fiscal 2027.
