Disney+ Is Gaining on Netflix

When Disney (NYSE: DIS) reported first-quarter earnings last week, strength in streaming video helped the company deliver a surprise profit. Subscribers to Disney+, the company's flagship streaming service, came in at nearly 95 million; 21 million were added over the preceding three months alone. This means that in just over a year, Disney+ has added nearly half as many subscribers as Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) added in a decade.
