A girl who fell overboard on a Disney cruise ship has been rescued from the water - along with her father who jumped in after.
Initiate Disney with Strong Buy and $193 PT, citing aggressive EPS recovery, streaming profitability, and undervalued shares versus peers. The streaming business is at a pivotal inflection, with Hulu-ESPN bundling driving subscriber growth, margin expansion, and sustainable operating leverage.

DIS delivers a robust well-diversified entertainment thesis across D2C/content licensing/theme park/cruises, with these high-growth segments already triggering renewed opportunities. With numerous travel leaders still reporting robust consumer spending trends, we believe that DIS' differentiated offerings are likely to remain in high demand despite the challenging macro environment. Thanks to the drastically cheaper Hulu deal at $439M instead of our prior conjecture of $15B, the company's balance sheet is unlikely to be drastically impacted as well.
Disney is a buy: the next decade will be much stronger than the last, with parks and streaming businesses rebounding impressively. Recent earnings beat expectations across revenue, EPS, cash flow, and Disney+ subscribers, with double-digit EPS growth guided for the coming years. The new Abu Dhabi theme park is a major growth catalyst, expanding Disney's reach to hundreds of millions of potential new customers.
