The financial data reveals significant fluctuations and overall positive trends in key income metrics over the examined periods.

Net Income (Loss)

The company experienced a substantial net loss in the earliest period, which reversed into consistent net profits in subsequent years. Net income showed a notable increase from approximately 2.5 billion US dollars in 2021 to over 13 billion US dollars by 2025, indicating strong profitability growth.

Market Value Adjustments, Primarily for Hedges

This item exhibited volatility, with periods of both positive and negative adjustments. Early losses were followed by gains around 2022, but negative adjustments recurred in later years, although with decreasing magnitude by 2025.

Pension and Postretirement Medical Plan Adjustments

There was a marked improvement in pension and related medical plan adjustments from a significant negative amount in 2020 to positive values in 2021 and 2022, followed by a decline into slightly negative territory in 2024, and recovering modestly by 2025. This pattern reflects variability in actuarial gains and losses or changes in plan assumptions.

Foreign Currency Transaction and Other

Foreign currency transaction impacts were inconsistent, with minor positive amounts initially, a sharp negative impact in 2022, and a recovery to moderate positive values by 2025, suggesting fluctuating effects of currency exchange rates on financial results.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), Net of Tax

This category mirrored the pension and market value adjustments' trend, moving from a large negative figure in 2020 to positive values through 2022, followed by a decline again in 2024, and partial recovery by 2025. The fluctuations indicate mixed results from items excluded from net income but affecting overall equity.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income showed a turnaround from a major loss in 2020 to sustained positive income in following years. Although there was some volatility, the general trajectory is upward, culminating in a peak exceeding 14 billion US dollars in 2025, reflecting overall improvement in net income combined with other comprehensive income components.

Comprehensive Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

The amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests remained negative and relatively stable, with fluctuations between approximately -200 million and -1 billion US dollars, suggesting consistent minority interests negatively impacting comprehensive income.

Comprehensive Income (Loss) Attributable to Disney

This component closely follows the overall comprehensive income trend but net of noncontrolling interests. After a significant loss in 2020, it consistently increased over the years, reaching nearly 13.2 billion US dollars by 2025. This steady improvement underscores the company's growing retained earnings and equity attributable to shareholders.
