Despite The Walt Disney Company's place in the entertainment history and the recent success of its Disney+ streaming service, streaming giant Netflix is actually more than Disney at the moment, according to investors. The reason why boils down to the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and the ongoing self-quarantine mandates around the world.

According to NME, Netflix is currently worth $187.3 billion on the stock market, giving it a "slight" (in terms of billions) lead over Disney, which is currently worth $186.6 billion. Investors speculate that viewers staying at home as a result of the social distancing measures in place benefits Netflix even more than Disney. In fact, the number of people streaming in general has grown tremendously. In the United States alone, videos streamed on TV shot up by 109 percent in March.

Disney+, which launched in November 2019, has recently benefited from new launches in eight European countries and India last month. Also it attracted more than 50 million subscribers worldwide by April after only a few months of being available. That said, a mass migration of Netflix subscribers to Disney+ has not happened, despite some industry observers anticipating it would. On the contrary, Netflix's subscriber base grew 37 percent by the end of 2019 and Cord Cutters News found that, among viewers who subscribe to both services, almost 75 percent still use Netflix more.

As the struggle between the two streaming services continues, Netflix and Disney+ are gearing up to release new programs during the quarantine and beyond. Disney+ is currently in the midst of the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, with several documentaries under the Disneynature banner coming out as well. At the same time, Netflix is offering a new season of the animated post-apocalyptic action series The Last Kids of Earth and a third and final season to the historical drama Medici.
