Company Of The Day: Disney
What?
Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) has ousted CEO Bob Chapek, with former chairman and CEO Robert Iger returning as CEO.
Why?
Although Disney didn’t cite a reason for the change, it comes at a time when the Disney+ streaming operations continue to bleed cash while its theme parks face pressure from a weakening economy and high inflation. Disney’s Q4 FY’22 results were also weaker than anticipated.
So What?
However, we remain positive on Disney stock despite the recent headwinds with a $150 price estimate, which is well ahead of the market price.
