Author argues Disney is undervalued versus Netflix, valuing streaming conservatively and seeing catalysts ahead.

DIS — LONG The author argues Disney is mispriced versus Netflix, noting Disney trades around 17x earnings at a ~$200B market cap while Netflix trades at 35x+ at ~$400B. Assigning Disney's streaming division a conservative $50B market cap leaves an implied $150B for parks, cruises, studios, IP licensing and ESPN, which the author views as severely discounted. Catalysts cited include the post-Iger era, international park expansions, new cruise ship revenue, or an ESPN spin-off. The author acknowledges the stock has been dead money for a decade and has weighed on their portfolio.

it’s a catalyst away from being weighted appropriately. Post Iger era, ground breaking of international expansions, realization of new cruise ship revenue, or even a spin off of ESPN.
