Disney plans to boost buybacks to $6-$8 billion

The Walt Disney Co will buy back between $6 billion and $8 billion of its shares next year, the media company’s Chief Financial Officer Jay Rasulo said.
That’s up from the $4 billion a year that Disney has been spending on repurchasing its shares.

 Disney’s shares spiked following Rasulo’s comments, and gained more than 2.4 per cent, or $1.55, to close at $65.49 on 12 September.
Disney’s upcoming projects will provide growth for the company, said Rasulo. After buying Lucasfilm last year for $4 billion, Disney is set to release its first Star Wars film in 2015. It also expects to open a new theme park resort in Shanghai during the same year.
