Over the last 5 years, Walt Disney Co's financial position has shown a mixed trend. Total assets have steadily increased from $84.2 billion in 2014 to $98.6 billion in 2018, indicating the company's growth and expansion during this period. However, the company's liabilities also increased from $39.2 billion in 2014 to $54.5 billion in 2017 before slightly decreasing to $49.8 billion in 2018. This increase in liabilities could be due to strategic investments or acquisitions made by the company to drive growth. Stockholders' equity has fluctuated over the period, starting at $44.9 billion in 2014, reaching a low of $41.3 billion in 2017, and then rebounding to $48.8 billion in 2018. The decrease in equity in 2017 could be a result of higher liabilities or operational challenges faced by the company. It's important to note that despite these fluctuations, Walt Disney Co remains a strong player in the entertainment industry, with a diversified business portfolio that includes theme parks, media networks, and studio entertainment. The company's ability to continue growing its assets while managing its liabilities will be crucial for its long-term financial health and sustainability.
