Walt Disney Co. (DIS)

Streaming continues to lose money. Very good content that can be applied to movies, travel, and products. Covid has created a lag, but momentum will come back. Spinout of ESPN should bode well. He'd add if it dropped lower.

A disappointment. When he bought it, DIS was already 50% below its peak with theme parks and movies doing well. Always an innovative company with many ways to monetize their assets. But streaming became everything. All streamers have been hit, including Prime. It's a mistake to view Disney as only a streaming company; Disney has so many assets. 

It was a play on the return to theme parks. However the soft ad market and drama in Florida has not helped. Also Disney Plus is not unfolding that well in terms of subscribers. Analysts expect a 20% earnings growth. It should be coming together in 2024 so if you own it, hold it.

Isn't willing to wait for this stock to recover. Is bearish all streaming stocks. China--who knows how Covid will effect it--but that is not benefitting Disney theme parks there. Also, are higher marketing costs. There isn't much downside from here on, but it's dead money. Yes, they're cutting costs, but also will cut content.

Their cost cuts by $3 billion will drive earnings will 30%. By 2025, this will be a $140 stock, 20x PE, she projects. DIS is worth waiting for.

The last quarter was terrible, but DIS is in the middle of a turnaround and will yield better results later this year. Last quarter, subs were down marginally, but they also raised rates a lot, so consider that flat. Remember Netflix had bad subs last year, too, and NFLX bounced back. It's probably dead money till the next quarter, but the brand is too established.

Encouraged by CEO's return, with his mandate to get cost structure in place. This will take a while. Operating profits better than anticipated, but market didn't like loss of subscribers in NA. Loss from streaming was less than expected. Parks have done very well. Need patience. Focus is on streaming to grow at a profit, not at any cost.

Excellent for consumers but not keen on company for investors. 
Regulatory issues with Florida a major concern.
Will not be investing in the company soon.
Strong assets & content.
Good for long term investors (10 years).
Wait to buy once regulatory issues solved.

Great brand. 41% of revenue is from parks, and the headwind from Covid is getting better. Media business is tougher. Streaming will take time to figure out. New CEO is a positive. Buy here, you won't regret it in a few years.

Shares down 52% from highs. He's been adding. Value. New leadership will help. Continuing to get new subscribers, though Disney+ still not profitable, but they're working on it. ESPN has performed well. Movies are coming in strong. Theme parks are doing very well. Travel is back to pre-pandemic levels.

What will be the impact? Legal bills will go up, but may not have a serious impact on earnings. Disney has no choice but to sue the Florida governor.

A firm believer in CEO Bob Iger.

A disappointment. Activist pressure. Previous CEO is back, significant cost cuts. Have to be patient. Hasn't participated in the market rebound, but there's massive underlying value. The most hidden value of all the names he covers. Don't give up, he'd be willing to buy today.

Has owned this for years. She's glad that Bob Iger is back, focussing on costs and streaming. Benefit from a huge content library (Disney, Marvel, etc.). Now have an ad-supported level. Their theme parks are doing very strong with per-capita spending rising. China's parks will return to full capacity. Lots of hidden value here. She's willing to wait to see how things unfolds.
