Disney: Opportunity Knocks - Upgrade To Buy
Summary The investment case for Disney had been substantially de-risked thanks to excellent progress in Direct-to-Consumer. I remain concerned about the level of Experiences capital expenditure, but this downside risk is now acceptable when balanced against multiple medium-term earnings growth prospects. Opportunities to buy a high-quality business at a cheap multiple do not come along often, and I therefore upgrade Disney to Buy. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Mar 30
Disney Stock: Growth Or Just Retreading IP?
Summary Disney stock has fluctuated between high $80s and low $100s post-COVID, far from its March 2021 peak of $196.76. Disney has made progress in simplifying its corporate structure and focusing on streaming and Experiences, but faces challenges with linear TV and ESPN. Management, particularly Iger, has yet to clarify the future of linear TV and ESPN, raising concerns about leadership stability. Speculation surrounds Iger's potential departure, with no clear signals or industry gossip suggesting a definitive exit plan. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Mar 21
Disney Charts Mission To Correct Course, But Must Navigate New Obstacles In The Short Term
Summary Disney is navigating leadership succession and strategic direction amid a rapidly changing entertainment landscape, with Bob Iger set to step down next year. The company's DEI-focused initiatives have faced backlash, impacting its brand and financial performance, exemplified by the underwhelming box office of The Little Mermaid. The upcoming live-action Snow White faces controversy and uncertainty, reflecting broader challenges Disney must address to stabilize its future direction. Disney's 2026 slate looks more promising with proven franchises, but it needs a hit with Snow White to bridge the gap until then. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Mar 12
Disney: Surging DTC Profitability
Summary Disney's strong Q1'25 results highlight significant growth in its streaming segment, with operating income surging 31% year-over-year due to subscriber monetization. Despite a 1% subscriber decline in Disney+, the streaming company saw net subscription growth of 0.9M due to Hulu. Disney is seeing improving subscriber monetization and long term trends in revenue, operating income and EBITDA point upwards. Disney trades at a compelling valuation, with a forward P/E ratio of 16.8X, making it ~20% cheaper than its 3-year average and more attractive than competitors. Risks include potential slowdown in Disney+ subscriber growth, but overall, Disney remains a buy due to its strong fundamentals and undervaluation.

Happy Ending In H2 - Upgrading Disney To Buy
Summary Disney reported Q1 2025 results and got a pretty mixed market reaction, with lower-than-expected Experiences revenue and a modest decline in Disney+ subscribers. I think the Disney+ subscriber decline will be an issue in the first half of the year but not the second, and the Experience headwinds will be temporary, too. The paid sharing program should drive gains in the second half of the year, and I'm eyeing a recovery in Disney+ numbers for FY25. I think Disney is set up for much more upside because it's delivering where it matters: profitable growth. I hereon share my sentiment on Disney and why I think it's positioned to outperform in the second half of FY25. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Feb 15
Disney: 2025 Deep-Dive Reveals A Wonderful Business And A Real Undervaluation
Summary Disney's has a wide economic moat that is reinforced by its powerful IPs, popular theme parks, and strategic DTC streaming initiatives. Disney's Q1 2025 earnings showed solid revenue growth and an excellent increase in operating profits. Improved financials highlight Disney's robust operational performance, despite lingering challenges from the Fox acquisition and DTC transition. Risks include market cyclicality, competitive pressures, and execution risks, but the long-term outlook appears positive at present. Shares appear 26% undervalued: rating upgrade to Buy.

Disney Q1 Earnings: What To Make Of These Double Beat Results
Summary Disney reported a double beat with better-than-expected Q1 results, despite a decline in Disney+ subscriptions. The entertainment unit showed the strongest revenue growth at 9%, while the experiences and sports units grew by 3% and 0%, respectively. Walt Disney's focus on profitability and price increases for Disney+ led to a 95% surge in operating profit for the entertainment unit. Trading at 21x earnings, DIS stock is fairly valued; it's a "Hold" with solid but not outstanding growth prospects. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Jan 28
Disney Still Has Upside Potential Ahead Of Earnings
Summary Disney shares have gained 20% since my last call, but there's still upside potential with Q1 earnings and profitability improvements on the horizon. Key drivers include strong operating income, cost efficiency, and a move to profitability in combined streaming, with Disney+ Core subscriber trends being crucial. The Fubo and Hulu + Live TV combination adds 1.6 million paid subscribers but removes litigation issues for a game-changing sports streaming service. Valuation metrics indicate Disney remains undervalued compared to its five-year average, suggesting further share price improvement is warranted.

Mickey's Moment Is Here: Upgrading Disney To Buy For 2 Reasons
Summary Disney is back on our list of favorite streaming names; we think this is the new growth stock in entertainment for 2025. The price hikes should boost the company's average revenue per user, while the Fubo deal should help expand Disney's streaming visibility and reel in a wider audience. Disney's valuation is attractive compared to rivals, with a forward PE of 20.04x versus Netflix's 36.89x. We think the stock is undervalued at current levels. We expect profitable growth to stick for Disney in 1HFY25. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Jan 06
Disney And FuboTV Tie The Knot: This Changes Everything
Summary fuboTV Inc. shares surged 225% after announcing a merger with Hulu + Live TV, settling litigation and receiving a significant cash injection from The Walt Disney Company. The merger boosts fuboTV's scale, increasing subscribers to 6.2 million and annual revenue to $6 billion, reducing competition risks. Despite the positive outlook, fuboTV shares are not cheap, trading at a forward EV to EBITDA multiple of 14.6, comparable to Netflix. Disney's valuation of Hulu + Live TV seems low, but the deal benefits its Venu sports venture and offloads a non-core business segment. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Dec 06
Disney Stock: Moana 2 Sells Out Theaters And A Nice Dividend Boost For Christmas
Summary Disney's recent film successes and Disney+ streaming growth have improved its financial outlook, making it a fair buy at current valuations. The company's valuation metrics, including price-to-book and price-to-sales ratios, remain reasonable compared to the market, supporting its intrinsic value. DIS's balance sheet shows improvement with reduced debt and increased dividends, positioning it as a dividend-growth stock. Despite a 29% price rise since my last article, Disney's growth in EBITDA and book value suggests potential for future outperformance, making it a worthwhile investment.
