Highlights

The presenter believes shares of Disney could be positioned to trade into the low $80s and $70s over the coming year, and potentially into the mid $60s thereafter. About half of Disney’s EBIT and roughly two-thirds of its cash flow comes from the company’s media networks business, the vast majority of which derives from cable networks ESPN and Disney Channel (with the balance attributable to broadcast network ABC). For his part, the presenter believes the media networks business could be in secular decline. Further, another 25% or so of total EBIT derives from Disney’s theme parks - a business the presenter believes is close to peak. The remaining 25% of company EBIT is roughly evenly derived from Disney’s theatrical/ studios and consumer products businesses - both of which could be near peak as well.
