Target's Quarterly Earnings Fall by 5.4%The not-so-secret hidden costs of a not-so-secret groomer agenda. Retail outlet Target missed the mark over the past quarter when its sales fell by 5.4%, a first for the store in the past six years. Steven Miller's legal organization is suing Target for tanking shareholder value and then lying about their "monitoring efforts" to prevent this from happening. Target, they claim, reassured investors that they would "monitor" the public reaction to their gay- and trans-heavy promotions, and this would be enough to protect shareholder value. It was not. A conservative legal organization sued Target (TGT.N) on Tuesday on behalf of an investor, saying the retailer misrepresented the adequacy of its risk monitoring when customer backlash over LGBTQ-themed merchandise caught it by surprise. Speaking of a company I never, ever mention, Disney is also being sued. TSG, a major financier of movies, claims that Disney essentially defrauded them by "selling" Disney movies' streaming rights to the Disney+ service at a low price. Since Disney would be on both sides of that transaction -- Disney Entertainment sells the streaming rights to Disney+ streaming -- it would be very easy to set too low a price, to avoid paying out profits to the financiers, such as TSG. Which is exactly what TSG alleges Disney did. Now you might say: But where would the profits even be? Disney produces nothing but bombs. Well yes, but 20th Century Fox financed a movie that made a huge pile of money: Avatar 2. Disney then bought 20th Century Fox for (checks notes) $70 billion. And that's the movie TSG is claiming that Disney lowballed the streaming rights value for, to deny Avatar 2's investors their due profit. And they say they did this so that Disney+ could acquire content on the cheap, and thereby attract subscribers. Among other things. They're also making some claims that are confusing to me, something about Disney (well, 20th Century Fox at the time) denying them some profits to The Shape of Water (not Avatar 2: The Way of Water) and that resulted in them not being able to invest in more profitable movies, like Avatar 2: The Way of Water.
Disney is being accused of hindering a deal between 20th Century Studios and TSG Entertainment Finance in an effort to boost Disney+ and Hulu subscriptions, stock prices and executive compensation. In a new lawsuit, TSG Entertainment Finance says an independent audit of three films including best picture winner The Shape of Water revealed it's owed more than $40 million -- after all is said and done, the company suspects the total will be in the hundreds of millions -- and the cash shortfall has caused it to take a worse position in its investment in Avatar: The Way of Water. He points out that Iger essentially admitted sacrificing everything to make Disney Minus grow "really fast." | Recent Comments
