Walt Disney Co. is navigating a transitional period with a new CEO taking charge amid mixed sentiments from analysts and investors. Many believe that while the company has a strong brand and diverse offerings in theme parks and streaming, concerns remain about growth sustainability post-COVID and rising operational costs. Analysts express optimism regarding the streaming service turning profitable and the potential of theme parks as profit centers. However, the competitive landscape in media and consumer behavior during economic downturns pose challenges to its previously steady growth trajectory. Overall, Disney is recognized for its iconic properties and potential for future growth, but a cautious attitude prevails as it seeks to stabilize following management changes.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 8/09. Up 59.09%.)

TOP PICK

Well managed. Films are doing well. Own ESPN, which has done extremely well on the cable side. Trading at about 16-17 times earnings.

BUY

Reasonably well run. Not only own films but also broadcast networks such as ABC and ESPN plus theme parks in California and Florida. Consumer discretionary stocks so it does exhibit cyclicality with the economy. Not expensive with a dividend yield of about 3%.

BUY

Well managed. ESPN and ABC are the business drivers. 43-45% of business comes out of these businesses. Well priced here.

TOP PICK

Great management. Most people think of their parks but only 30% of revenue comes from this. More of a media company with ESPN and ABC making up about 45%. Also have Pixar for making animated movies. Will probably earn $1.75 this year and $1.95 next year. A weaker US$ will benefit them.

TOP PICK

Consumer's product so is a bet on reflation (stimulation of economy by increasing money supply) trade as well as international trade. Has a great international presence. Also derive a tremendous amount of the revenue from advertising. On the rebound in ads, they will participate.

DON'T BUY

Has 3 parts. Studio/automation/film, theme parks and television assets. 2 of them are not doing great and the other one is muddling along. Not a big fan of this one because demographics are going to hurt them in the long run.

COMMENT

The ultimate consumer exposed company. Parks are going to be challenged. Have reduced prices, which will have an impact on margins. Long-term great stock and dividend is safe. There will be volatility in the near term. $16 would probably be a real steal.

TOP PICK

Going back 5 or 10 years, the stock has been trading with an average PE of about 17 or 18 and is now 9. Very high quality brands. Own EFPN, probably the strongest cable network. Trades at less than 10X earnings. Most concerns were about the DVD sales that were down in the 4th quarter. Long-term this will be fine.

COMMENT

His company doesn't like the movie business. He owns this one because of ESP and theme parks. Movie business is a classic “no barrier to entry” business. Historically it hasn't been a very good business.

TOP PICK

Stock price has fallen 25%. This is a very well run company. Fundamentals are very good and valuation is very sound.

HOLD

Cyclical company because on the programming side, people are watching less TV and more computer programs. Theme parks are starting to decline because younger population is waning. Movie sector can be very volatile.

WEAK BUY

In effect, you are buying a library. A huge legacy, company with a lot of terrific products. Trading at 22 X earnings and has a bit of a dividend. You won't hit a home run with this.

SELL

The film/exhibition business is under a lot of pressure. One of the reasons to warm the stock is their enormous library which they can sell to DVDs. Doesn't think it's going to be a huge performer and would consider selling it as a tax loss.

DON'T BUY

Opening a theme park in Hong Kong in the fall which will be a good asset. Disney is a big conglomerate and some parts are good while others are difficult. Has more volatility than it had 1 years ago. Also had some trouble in management.
