- Bob Iger, Walt Disney's chief executive, is considering delaying his departure for the third time. It's a sign that the entertainment conglomerate has failed to find a replacement for him since Tom Staggs left last year.

Total shareholder return over the same period increased 350 percent. http://nyti.ms/2jWXOvV
