Trian is a massive fund, and its most aggressive campaigns usually start with stakes worth several billion dollars. That suggests Trian may stay quiet, at least for now, while the stake is relatively small.The WSJ says that Peltz is seeking a seat on Disney’s board "as it pushes the entertainment giant to make operational improvements and cut costs," the article says. The WSJ also noted that Trian does not support Iger.
Other media industry stakes that Trian has owned include Comcast and the Madison Square Garden Company.
