PEP, 123

TOP PICK

November is when they will launch their new direct to consumer product at a very attractive monthly price. The purchase of 21st Century Fox adds a lot of new content to integrate into their operations. The stock is reasonably priced. Yield 1.28% (Analysts’ price target is $154.71)

HOLD

They spend a lot of money on the Star Wars theme park, which is taking time to catch on. Remember though, they are a monetizing machine. In the past they have heavily invested in themes, but have been able to grow into it. They are good at it. They have studio, tv, and products to sell. They are doing fine and the cash flow is great. Don't get hung up on one quarter. He didn't see anything in their recent earnings to be overly concerned over.

TOP PICK

He likes the consumer space and their thirst for digital content. They have had a nice bump up already. Earnings are reported tonight. For the next year they will do a good job on the execution for the direct to consumer space. They will leverage their content and sell to a global consumer. A great add to their products. They have grown the dividend by 15% annually for years. Yield 1.26% (Analysts’ price target is $155.19)

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Aug 29/18, Up 31%) They are dominating the box office like no other company before. Loves the new Lion King movie. They have the cruise line, ESPN and the theme parks, hitting on all cylinders.

TOP PICK

Nobody has better content than Disney: Star Wars, Pixar, Marvel. They cross-sell across movies, theme parks, TV, games and now streaming better than anyone else. A great growth stock. (Analysts’ price target is $153.13)

BUY

A 3-year hold They've done well launching Disney+ and condolidating Hulu to move quickly into streaming. Movies still generate revenue but are less important now. The theme parks are also doing well. The issue is that Disney must pay licensees to stream their content and this will eat into profits. This will limit EPS growth in this transition period. Disney's entry will actually be positive for Netflix, but will cut more cable subscriptions. This will be a multi-player industry.

TOP PICK

45% of their business comes from the amusement parks, and 35% from the media, and the rest from consumers. The Fox deal was big. they own Hulu. They are one of the few who can compete with Netflix with a huge content library. Has lots of fresh cash flow with little debt. They will continue to grow (Analysts’ price target is $152.91)

TOP PICK

They are much cheaper than Netflix -- only 16 times earnings. Price is pausing, but longer term it has a great future following the 21st Century acquisition. They own Hulu as well. Yield 1.26% (Analysts’ price target is $149.28)

COMMENT

Not a fan of the theme parks or the Fox acquisition. There's a lot of competition out there. If you buy it today, only buy half. May not pop again for a couple of years. (Analysts’ price target is $149.00)

WEAK BUY

He owns both, but Netflix will see more grwoth as it penetrates internationally and doubling worldwide subscribers. They could expand into music and games. Disney pays a dividend, but Netflix will give you a higher total return. With Disney, be patient as they get into streaming, especially internationally.

WATCH

In 5 years They're taking on Netflix with some fine programming, but he wonders how much room there will be in the streaming market as more players enter? More competition may pressure Netflix stock down the road. Disney has had a long-term peak of 4x adjusted book value historically. It's now above that ($131). As long as the stock stays above that, then the market will believe in Disney. But watch this very carefully. Right now is a real line in the sand.

WEAK BUY

He likes it long term. A perpetual model. You will do OK over 5 - 10 years. He missed it before the announcement.

TOP PICK

He acquired it around $110. He likes the streaming play. The Hulu announcement is also good. Trades at 20 times earnings. Yield 1.32% (Analysts’ price target is $147.24)

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A past pick recently. Long-term they will likely do well in streaming shows. They have lots of platforms to create new content and have a big library of movies. They will be priced lower than Netflix. Disney has had a nice pop in the past month.

HOLD

Disney vs. Amazon. A core holding for him. Both in streaming. Both have long-term growth potential. Revenues are growing above average. Seasonally, high-growth technical names can do well in the summer. So this tells you that, as a tie-breaker, Amazon is better for the summer.
