Highlights

The presenter is long shares of Walt Disney (DIS), seeing overly negative sentiment around DIS’s earnings headwinds and believes negative revisions are largely behind us. Instead, he sees better-than-expected costs from DIS’s direct-to-consumer (DTC) transition, mitigated impact from weakness in linear networks, and strong performance in Parks. He believes that as more clarity around the Fox acquisition and DTC transition costs emerges, investors should be more motivated to utilize a sum of the parts model to value DIS. On a SOTP analysis, the presenter arrives at a $190 target for DIS shares in three years.
