Who cares if the stock market doesn't like Disney or thinks they can't 'grow the company'? The company earns a $1 billion profit every year.Disney cares. If they want to issue a seasonal offering, they want people to have faith in their company. Also, they want to keep current stockholders happy because they essentially own the company. And I guarantee Roy Disney cares since he owns a crapload of shares. The problem with Disney is that they got themselves into a lot of different businesses that frankly they aren't very good in. Just look at the sports teams they owned. The one thing that Disney is supposed to do the best (family entertainment) seems to be suffering due to all of this diversification. They aren't focusing their efforts to their feature films and theme parks.
Eisner will leave when he wants to. From what I've read, people have been upset with him for many years so I don't expect him to leave anytime soon. I can only imagine what Walt would think if he were still alive. I'm glad Roy finally had the balls to say something.
