Are holding an investor meeting Monday at a Disney theme park

The theme parks are doing great, especially in China, but nobody is talking about them. He expects them to be more resilient than the rest of travel and leisure. Does Netflix have a theme park? Disney can afford and has the cash to pay Comcast to buy the rest of Hulu, unlike some investors, and in fact it's one reason he owns Disney. He just added more shares recently. Doesn't believe they will sell ABC; they aren't as desperate as the bears say. Disney is about to play offence.

DON'T BUY

Monday is an investor summit, and the rising cost of gas will be discussed. The company expected to be de-cyclical after Covid, but that didn't happen. He fears they may lower guidance again.

COMMENT

They raised their IPO price (happening next Monday) after the success of Arm's IPO this week.

PARTIAL BUY
They report Tuesday

Few know that AZO is doing so well, like buying a ton of shares back. AZO is doing much better than AAP. Buy partially before earnings, then more if the stock goes down.

COMMENT

They report Wednesday; can they turn things around after sales faltered last quarter? Their high-end pet food business has stalled and Zoetis revealed that pet spending is slowing.

COMMENT

They report Wednesday. He worries that even the best quarter won't send shares higher, and even decline, given high expectations. He expects a great quarter with beats. They took market share from UPS after fears of a UPS strike, but this seems like a one-time occurrence.

COMMENT

They report Thursday and will reveal if people will still spend a lot of money to dine out. He likes DRI but not enough to buy it.

DON'T BUY

Does well when (sadly) diabetes is booming. The fear is that drugs develop from Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly will cut down on diabetes. He tends to agree. Be careful here.

COMMENT

Reported two weeks ago: great numbers with a clean beat and raised their quarter. Shares popped and can continue to rise, but a recent major hack involved cracking a company network by breaking into an employee's Okta logging credentials.

BUY
NFL on YouTube will begin this season, no longer DirectTV, as a standalone or in a YT package

He's bullish the NFL on YouTube. Big tech like Amazon are getting into live sports because advertisers love it. This NFL/YT deal will be bigger and better than those other sports deals and will be a game-changer for GOOG and yet few notice. GOOG shares are up 56% this year, because digital ads are holding up and Google is basically an ad platform. A revenues grew 3.3% in the last quarter over the previous quarter and beat estimates. Search and YouTube ads both did well. The market is slowly waking up to YouTube's ad revenue power but also subscriptions which give stability to the boom and bust ad revenue stream.

BUY

No one will build a better mousetrap than FICO.
