Disney Stock Forecast

Summary:

  • Disney’s movie ticket sales and merchandise licensing business has a strong tailwind from its Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise. Licensing its intellectual property is a $3.2 billion/year business for Disney.
  • After the massive $1.33 billion success of Black Panther, Disney’s Avengers: Infinity War is another giant blockbuster movie.
  • Avengers: Infinity War posted a new record in U.S. domestic opening weekend box office revenue with $250 million in estimated ticket sales.
  • Avengers: Infinity War is also a big hit in foreign markets. Its 3-day opening weekend gross is $380 million. This international gross is without China’s contribution.
  • Disney’s stock has a neutral signal from I Know First. However, I rate DIS as a buy because I know hit Marvel movies also leads to increased merchandise licensing.

Netflix Stock Predictions

Summary:
  • Comcast ignited a bidding war for Sky Broadcasting, adding spice to Disney’s $52 billion buyout of Twenty-First Century Fox Film/TV assets.
  • Comcast’s offer of $31 billion for Sky is 12.50 pounds per share, or $31 billion.
  • Comcast’s bid is notably higher than the 10.75 pounds per share offer of the Murdoch group for the 61% of Sky that Twenty-First Century Fox doesn’t own.
  • To avoid a bidding war, Disney can just exclude Sky from its deal with Twenty-First Century Fox. Disney can focus on growing Hulu and its own SVOD services.
  • The film/TV library of Twenty-First Century fox is more important than that company’s 39% stake in Sky.

Netflix Stock Predictions: Netflix Can Survive and Flourish Even Without Disney’s Content

Netflix Stock Predictions

Summary:
  • Disney has announced that it will stop licensing its movies to Netflix and will start its own streaming service in 2019.
  • This revelation caused NFLX to drop more than 4% yesterday. A rival streaming service from Disney two years from is certainly a cause for concern.
  • However, that’s two years from now. By that time, Netflix will have created its own library of original content so it can survive future competition from Disney.
  • I therefore conclude that the bearish cloud over NFLX is not going to last long. The long-term growth story of NFLX is still intact.
  • Netflix has already invested billions of dollars in original contents. It can also spend billions of dollars more to buy IP owners like comics publisher Millarworld.

DIS Stock Forecast

Summary:

  • The obvious trend favoring cord-cutters is a dark cloud over cable channels like ESPN.
  • However, Disney has other assets with growing business to offset the emerging troubles of ESPN.
  • ESPN is still the second-most valuable sports brand. It will lose subscribers but it will remain a long-term accretive business for Disney.
  • I expect Disney to beat street estimates when it reports its Q3 2017 ER this coming August 8.
  • I Know First still has positive, near, intermediate and long-term algorithmic forecasts for Disney.

DIS Stock Prediction

Summary:

NFLX Stock Predictions

Summary:
  • The judicious decision of Netflix to bet big on original content is paying off. Content is king when it comes to who will dominate paid streaming.
  • Original programming is likely behind the fast growth in subscribers since 2013. Hit original content is partly why Netflix doubled its subscribers from 2013 to 2017.
  • Netflix has set aside $6 billion for original content this year. Original, exclusive content is a great way to keep customers happy and loyal.
  • Instead of spending too much money licensing other firms’ video/TV content, Netflix is better off creating its own library of exclusive content.
