Nelson Peltz Lost the Battle for Disney

Trian Fund Management, an activist investing hedge fund co-founded by billionaire Nelson Peltz, has launched a shareholder campaign titled Restore the Magic, arguing that Disney CEO Bob Iger and Disney management must make a number of radical changes to reverse course on poor business decisions leading to downward-trending earnings per share, publishing a 133-page white paper airing out their grievances and demands.
