Walt Disney Co. (DIS)

Lots of positive things happening. PE looks fair at 18.5x earnings, but it doesn't factor in that streaming is generating losses. Sum of the parts puts it conservatively at $150 a share. Massive value for the patient investor.

Waiting for shares to fall before buying.
Fundamentals of business good, but very expensive.
Unsure of route to profitability.
Very competitive with other steamers like Netflix.
Excellent content for long term investor. 

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.
