Wall Street speculation over Hulu’s fate has ramped up in recent weeks after Disney CEO Bob Iger said in February that all options are on the table, including a potential sale of the company’s majority stake to the highest bidder. But who has the finances and the need to buy a domestic streamer?

TheWrap spoke to a range of experts about who might potentially buy Disney’s two-third stake in Hulu. The options range from Comcast — which owns the remaining third — to tech giants Apple, Amazon, Alphabet and Microsoft. Or, some said, Disney could keep it in some form, either buying out Comcast or restructuring its deal.
