Author is bullish on Webtoon Entertainment (WBTN), citing its dominant webcomics platform, strong IP moat, and recent Disney and Warner Bros partnerships as growth catalysts.
WBTN — LONG The author argues Webtoon is the leader in webcomics with 170 million monthly active users and a monopoly on future IP, as evidenced by Disney finalizing a deal to upload all its comics on the platform and Warner Bros partnering for 10 originals. These partnerships are expected to drive royalties, merchandise, and visibility, with the industry growing 30% per year. The author holds 22 calls at a $15 strike expiring 2/20 and 100 shares, and cites $600M cash and $0 debt as supporting the growth spending. The main risk is not explicitly stated beyond the author's concentrated bet.
Point is, Webtoon has a monopoly on IPs for the future. Earlier this month, Disney finalized a deal for them to upload all of their comics on Webtoon's platform.
