Disney ended the first quarter with 149.6 million Disney+ subscribers. The company offers several pricing tiers for its plans and could see a brief boost in subscribers during the current quarter thanks to Swift fans wanting to watch the film over and over again.

DIS Price Action: Disney shares trade at $112.55 versus a 52-week trading range of $78.73 to $115.19.
