Disney | Fundamental Analysis | MUST READ ⚡️In determining whether a company is suitable as a great dividend asset, you first need to ask yourself a few basic questions. First, has the company paid dividends over time? Second, has it been able to increase its payouts on a regular basis? And finally, does it have the means to continue to do so? Disney suspended its dividend payments in the early days of the pandemic in May 2020 and has yet to pay them back. While the decision was understandable at the time in light of the uncertainty created for its theme parks and other ventures, now is a good time to see if Disney can achieve dividend greatness again. The Disney empire encompasses valuable properties, including networks such as ABC, Disney Channel, and ESPN, streaming services such as Disney+, movie studios, and theme parks. A testament to the combined strength of the business is that Disney's revenues for the first half of its fiscal year (ended April 2) rose 29 percent to $41.1 billion. In a sign of how quickly the company has recovered from last year, when results suffered after COVID-19 began, adjusted diluted earnings per share nearly doubled to $2.14 in the same time period. Disney's outlook also looks good. The company is preparing to release a sequel to its popular movie, and other trends, such as park spending, are improving. Its streaming business also continues to do well. In the second quarter, the number of paid subscribers to Disney+ increased 33 percent year over year to 137.7 million. This comes amid stiffer competition. For example, Netflix lost nearly 1 million subscribers in the last quarter, in addition to 200,000 subscribers in the previous quarter. When looking at Disney's free cash flow (FCF), it is best to look at the full year as it eliminates seasonality. Last year, despite orders and blackouts negatively affecting business, the company generated about $2 billion in FCF, down from $3.6 billion. Before the board suspended the 2020 dividend, Disney was making semiannual payments. In addition, the company has regularly increased its dividend. In 2012, it paid $0.75 a year, increasing the amount to $1.76 before the suspension. Disney previously said, "Over the long term, we expect dividends to remain part of our capital allocation strategy." However, the company does not plan to resume payments until "we return to a more normal environment." The company has good characteristics that investors will undoubtedly find attractive. These include terrific properties that have contributed to sales and profits. But without a fixed date or the promise of an imminent renewal of payments, income-seeking investors should look to other companies to find great dividend stocks. Investors looking for the best dividend stocks can start with dividend aristocrats - members of the S&P 500 who have raised dividends for at least 25 consecutive years. If you want to cut the list even further, you can look at Dividend Kings, an even more elite group. These are S&P 500 companies that have been raising dividends for at least half a century.

Disney is a realm of escapism - Recession Proof & Cash Flow RichThe Walt Disney Company recorded negative operating cash flow for the first quarter of the year. Even in the second quarter, cash from operating activities was still outpaced by investments in diverse activities. This was mostly caused by a lack of action during the coronavirus demand destruction in fiscal year 2020. But now that the parks are reopened, there are less ramp-up requirements. The majority of Disney's movie ticket sales will result in revenue generation because the majority of the backlog of films has already been paid for. The free cash flow should significantly increase during the following quarters. Despite the most severe criticism, "Thor: Love & Thunder" is on track to surpass $500 million worldwide. The success of the movie was another evidence that the conventional approach is still effective. 10 Year TSR Value Disney's track record of making more money than it needs is quite extensive. As a result, advancements into further growth areas can still be made in the future. Disney may be a sizable business, but it has plenty of room to expand as long as there are measures in place to produce adequate cash flow. They have a strong economic moat. The brand is extremely well-known, and the market is now discounting the Disney+ streaming component of the company's operations as the excitement surrounding it fades due to Netflix's (NFLX) sluggish member growth. We have to consider that Netflix have peaked their user base. However, Disney+ have enough tier to grow their client base. Due to the parks being open again and new movies being released, cash flow is expected to increase significantly soon. In the long run, this corporation has a significantly more profitable method of producing films than many of its rivals. However, One of the biggest disadvantage of holding this stock is due to their high operating costs, Disney's value will increase to about twice what it is currently trading for if operating margins return to the mean of around 17%. As operating costs increased and park and cruise revenues decreased during the pandemic, Disney had to cut dividend payout. Undoubtedly, the dividend's reinstatement will be a bullish event that many are anticipating. Although market players despise dividend cutbacks, Disney's management at the time made a wise decision in doing this. Disney was able to leverage money from eliminating the dividend to make a splash in the streaming industry. However, it is in their best interests to compensate shareholders by resuming dividend payments in situations where the value of their firm is dwindling. The market seemed to be concentrating too much on downside risks, that continue to drive Disney's share price lower, despite the fact that revenue growth continued to rise. In the future, Disney's earning power might increase significantly, just like it did a decade ago. The stock might surge once more with an operating margin returning to regular levels of 17-21%. As the company's free cash flows and direct-to-consumer operations may grow, Disney has a lot of potential in the long run. Disney produced record EPS and nearly $10 billion in free cash flows in 2019. Now that the theatrical industry is recovering from COVID the company is expected to generate record breaking free cashflow. Total Revenue vs Total Operating Expenses They have already begun to report positive financial outcomes for its fiscal year 2022. Revenue increased from $31.86 billion last year to $41.07 billion this year, a 28.9 percent increase over the same period previous year. From $918 million to $1.57 billion, net income has grown by 71.5 percent. Operating cash flow increased from $1.47 billion to $1.56 billion, an increase of just 6%. However, if working capital adjustments were taken into account, it would have increased from $1.84 billion to $4.67 billion. That is a 153.7 percent increase from the previous year. Excellent Management & Strategic Growth over the years. People seek escapism during recessions, and Disney's content offers them hope. Every week, 80 million Americans went to the movies, even during the Great Depression and since then movie businesses have won the label of "Recession Proof", The movie business has generally been one of the few industries that has been able to retain its place in the market or even grow admissions, even in some of the worst economic downturns ever. This is a result of people's continued consumption behavior. Even if they were impacted by economic downturns, The release of "Avatar: The Way of Water" this year and Disney's 100th anniversary celebration in 2023 will boost the company's marketing efforts and help them generate more sales revenue.

looks like Bitcoin chart perhaps they take $BTC in the futurePerhaps Disney will take Bitcoin in the future, imagine paying for rides in bitcoin? The chart shows a potential bounce from A leg, to a sell off to the B leg. Wave analysis is subjective, I like to focus on the wave analysis inside the triangle, then plot my fibs. With Inflation, rising gas prices, and folks still cautious from Covid. I expect more selling pressure, after a brief bounce. Long Term Short, w/ selling the rips

DIS-Disneys Bear case for a PO of $43-52 by years endDisney is ending Q2 in a very precarious way...Anyone believe another 50% price reduction from here is possible? Although Q2 just closed above 2016 Q3 low close of $92.86 the quarterly chart is signaling another bearish quarter or two could be on the horizon. The key bearish points are notated on the chart...I'll be watching the blue trend lines closely. (Of note: I'm not taking any position or stance here but instead presenting the bear case)

$DIS Analysis, Key Levels, and Targets$DIS Analysis, Key Levels, and Targets Here’s a fun look at DIS…. we are about 53% off of the highs… The light blue dotted line is the 200MA imported from the monthly chart. It sits at around $77 at the moment…. I’d say that right here is a descent place to start a position, but if it gets nearer to the monthly 200MA I’d go in heavier…. All of my targets have been hit except for 1 which would fill the covid gap, and I could see a nice swing happening from there…. Stupid Willy (The bottom indicator) is starting to read extreme oversold and a green cross above the red line would be my long confirmation… And just for historical reference, in 07-09, DIS came down 57% off of the highs (which we are getting close to) and it also went 38% below the 200 monthly MA once it crossed below…. In 2000-2002, DIS came down 68% off of the highs... So keep all of that in mind when building your DIS position…. Just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean it can’t get cheaper… However I do believe that the around the 200MA level will hold, and that between here and there is a great buying opportunity…
