Chapek took control of prior to the Covid pandemic seriously confined Disney’s company, shutting its amusement park and keeping its motion pictures out of theaters for months. As Chapek assisted the business weather condition that storm, with Iger still working as chairman through December of in 2015, the business’s stock reached simply above $200 at one point in 2021.
Since then, Disney’s shares have actually toppled. They closed lower than $100 on Friday.
