At an employee event on Tuesday, however, TV chief Dana Walden said that networks like ABC and the <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/company\/hulu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"sc-1a1a52d0-0 iWRdns styledLinkColor \">Hulu<\/a> streaming service can work together to create a wider audience.<\/p>\n<p>Back at the DealBook Summit, Iger said Disney regularly evaluates its holdings to see whether they still fit with the company\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike all of our assets, we are constantly evaluating what is their value to the company today?\u201d he said. \u201cWhat could their value be tomorrow? Is it a growth business?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shares of Disney were little changed at $92.53 at the close in New York. They are up 6.5% this year.<\/p>\n<p>Disney\u2019s board will consider potential director nominations from activist investor Nelson Peltz\u2019s Trian Fund Management LP, in line with its regular nomination and appointment process, Iger said. Late Wednesday, the company said it was appointing <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/company\/morgan-stanley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"sc-1a1a52d0-0 iWRdns styledLinkColor \">Morgan Stanley<\/a> CEO James Gorman and veteran media executive Jeremy Darroch to its board.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Disney hasn\u2019t resumed advertising on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, after halting ads following owner Elon Musk\u2019s endorsement of an antisemitic conspiracy theory.<\/p>\n<p>Iger, whose opening the Shanghai Disneyland park was one of the most important achievements of his career, also said he\u2019s not as optimistic as he once was about Disney\u2019s business in China, given the tensions between the country and the US, which impacts American companies operating there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He also said at the summit that he offered to speak with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis but was refused.
