BUY

It's the perfect reopening stock and the CDC announced last night that vaccinated Americans can go maskless. Mask-free theme parks will be a big tailwind for Disney. Some analysts are at fault for getting ahead of themselves; Disney made their numbers when they released their quarter yesterday.

HOLD

Management handled pandemic issues wisely. Disney+ is a real competitor to NFLX. The parks are doing better and this should continue. Cost-cutting. Owns a lot of fantastic content for streaming. Not sure about timeline of the cruise business. Dividend may be reinstated down the road.

HOLD

Last week, he though maybe he should take profits until advice told him to hang on. This has a chance of spurting up as the theme parks reopen.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 20/20, Up 79%) At the moment, there is a lot of growth with the streaming. The reopening in the US will allow the business to be relaunched. A great value creator. A core holding longer term. It is running a little fast so trimmed a little. De-risk form time to time.

PAST TOP PICK

TOP PICK

Hit by the pandemic, but Disney Plus did well through the crisis. Huge content library that they can stream. A reopening play on the parks, plus the new growth path of streaming. Positive future growth prospects. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $204.86)

BUY

Accelerated vaccinations means that Disney's timetable to reopen theme parks and movie businesses can open sooner.

BUY

Has been buying this name throughout last year. Even now, it makes sense based on price to growth. Trades at 20x forward earnings but there is growth around 60%. Subscribers have passed 100,000 for Disney+. Also a reopening play with the theme parks. Use the trend lines points to buy around $190.

BUY

Areas that haven't priced in all these US consumer savings and the expected spending boom. Yes, some travel names like airlines are already pricing in this boom, but how many people have never taken a vacation before and will now? People will focus on what they couldn't do after months of sitting at home. Probably Disney theme parks will rally huge. You can still be a buyer of airlines and hotels.

PARTIAL SELL

Take profits now at $200, trading at a 40x forward PE. That's big for Disney. Disney+ isn't as profitability as the Netflix model. Given all the good news recently (making 100 million subscriber mark earlier than expected), you need to take some money off the table as today. That said, the line-ups when the theme parks reopen will be ridiculous.

BUY

They've been rewarded for going after growth and not being profitable. The reopening trade for them will thrive in three or four of their businesses, and the stock will be rewarded as a result. It's a relative value trade. He likes their growth on the streaming and prefers it to Netflix.

WEAK BUY

Given their momentum, their future looks very promising. Share are up 25% in the last 3 months, so people took profits today. Disney+ is successful, but makes up only 7% of Disney revenue, while ARPU has been declining. Disney is expanding into content, though. This March price rise will reverse and won't be profitable till 2024. Disney+ is posting great numbers though, and the theme parks will reopen. He's cautious because we're in a toppy market. Cautious short-term, but likes DIS long-term.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 06/20, Up 34%) He continues to buy it here. Strong management makes tough decisions like suspending the dividend. Closing parks was a big hit. Streaming did well. Covid will end and people will go back to the parks. Asset sales will help. Backlog of movie blockbusters.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 05/20, Up 71%) The market initially didn't pick up on the value of the streaming. If you own it, you may want to trim or look for a better entry point. A long-term hold for him. The franchise is not impaired.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Feb 14/20, Up 41%) Price target of $204. A bit left in the tank. He's taken a bit of profit and would buy again at a lower level.
