Disney’s Board Lays Groundwork to Name Next CEO in Early 2026

The Walt Disney Company’s board has signaled that it plans to pick a successor to current Bob Iger as CEO in early 2026. Iger — who returned to lead Disney in late 2022 after his initial retirement — will remain at the helm until the transition, giving the company time to complete what insiders describe as a “methodical and deliberate” succession process. Inside candidates such as Josh D'Amaro and Dana Walden are being talked about as front‑runners, though the board has not ruled out external contenders. This marks a significant step for Disney as it attempts to ensure continuity and stability after years of leadership shake‑ups. #Disney #BobIger #CEOsuccession #EntertainmentIndustry #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
