They were recently bought out by AT&T, combining Time Warner’s productions with AT&T’s direct to consumer technology.
Disney owns a plethora of other companies.
After looking at the information on the document and just taking into account the proliferation of Disney almost everywhere now, I would suggest to invest in Disney. Disney’s income statement has proven more reliable than Time Warner’s. Disney has also shown to just be a better business, as a company they create a higher percentage of profits out of their assets compared to Time Warner and manage long term debt more efficiently. Lastly, they're more diversified in their income stream than Time Warner.
