Meet Disney's newly elected board
Disney shares have jumped 31% this year, outpacing the S&P 500's 9%
Are Disney CEO Bob Iger's troubles now behind him?
'The Claman Countdown' panelists Robbie Whelan and Kenneth Leon break down Disney's battle against Trian Partners.
It's been a bruising few months for Disney CEO Bob Iger as he worked to fend off activist investor Nelson Peltz, whose Trian Fund Management lost a bid for two seats on the media giant's board of directors at Wednesday's annual meeting.
"Now that this distracting proxy contest is behind us, we’re eager to focus 100% of our attention on our most important priorities: growth and value creation for our shareholders and creative excellence for our consumers," Iger said in a statement following the vote.
