- Tuesday, February 7, 2012, 4:20 PM Disney (DIS): FQ1 EPS of $0.80 beats by $0.09. Revenue of $10.78B (+1% Y/Y) misses by $400M. Shares -2.5% AH. (PR) 1 Comment [Earnings, On the Move, Breaking News]
- Monday, January 9, 2012, 6:30 PM Zynga (ZNGA -9.2%) ended an ugly day trading 20% below its IPO price. Aside from Playdom's (DIS) unveiling of Marvel: Avengers Alliance for Facebook, there wasn't any noteworthy news to move shares. But bearish opinions are easy to find: Dave Thier argues Zynga's problem is that rising customer expectations force it to develop more expensive games to generate the same amount of revenue, all while competition grows. 4 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, January 6, 2012, 1:24 PM Zynga (ZNGA -2.2%) has had a rough week, and is making fresh post-IPO lows today. A possible culprit is a lack of enthusiasm for Zynga's just-launched Hidden Chronicles game. Paul Tassi notes the game bears a strong resemblance to Playdom's (DIS) wildly popular Gardens of Time, and sees it as evidence that Zynga "refuses to innovate in any way." 1 Comment [Tech, On the Move]
- Wednesday, January 4, 2012, 1:28 PM Meredith Corp. (MDP -2%) deepens its foray into the women-focused media space by acquiring FamilyFun magazine and related assets from Walt Disney Co.'s (DIS) publishing arm for an undisclosed sum. The magazine, which has an audience of about 6M, targets mothers with children ages 3 to 12 and focuses on family activities, such as cooking, crafts and travel. Comment! [On the Move, M&A]
- Friday, December 2, 2011, 10:53 AM Disney (DIS +1.9%) is outperforming today, and a positive Barron's mention could be playing a role. The paper thinks Disney's recent dividend hike could be a sign of things to come, given its strong cash flow, and believes its current share price doesn't appear to "fully reflect the good news." Comment! [Consumer, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, November 11, 2011, 3:54 PM Hold the pixie dust for a minute. Although Walt Disney (DIS +6.1%) continues to pace S&P gainers after the company beat expectations for its FQ4, Goldman Sachs analyst Drew Borst thinks theme park revenue growth may begin to tail off: “In the current quarter, room reservations are flat Y/Y, and room rates are up low single digits, now that prices have normalized." (earlier: I, II) 1 Comment [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, November 11, 2011, 3:32 PM Disney's (DIS +6.3%) FQ3 beat, headlined by the strong performance of its Media Networks business, is giving a lift to other TV network owners. CBS +4.9%. TWX +3%. DISCA +2.9%. AMCX +6.9%. SNI +3.8%. VIA.B +3.4%. LSTZA +7.4%. (DIS transcript) Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Friday, November 11, 2011, 10:36 AM Hotel stocks show strength with outperforming gains across the board. A slightly improved outlook on consumer spending and Disney's (DIS +7.1%) strong parks performance are helping tip sentiment. Advancers: HOT +3.9%, MAR +3.8%, GET +4.4%, H +2.7%. Comment! [On the Move]
- Friday, November 11, 2011, 8:45 AM Shares of Disney (DIS) gain strength in premarket trading, up 4.1%, as analysts start to weigh in on both sides of the fence on the company's FQ4 earnings beat. Though Janney's Tony Wible likes the company's prospects in parks, TV networks, cruise ships and other areas - he clips his PT on shares to $40 as he warns a sluggish economy could drag down results. Comment! [On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 5, 2011, 1:14 PM Media shares are higher today, boosted by valuation upgrades of CBS (CBS +3.5%) and Walt Disney (DIS +2.8%) by Citigroup (I, II), and Roth's adding of Imax (IMAX +8%) to its focus list: AOL (AOL +5%), Time Warner (TWX +0.6%). Comment! [On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 5, 2011, 8:10 AM Citi upgrades Disney (DIS) to a Buy rating from Hold with a $36 price target on shares. Analysts with the firm cite valuation, assigning a multiple of 13X forward earnings to derive their PT. Shares +1.1% premarket. Comment! [On the Move]
- Monday, September 26, 2011, 2:23 PM Shares of RealD (RLD) move 3.7% higher after Disney's (DIS +0.5%) reissued hit The Lion King breathes some new life into the 3-D movie market the company outfits. Count James Cameron - whose movie Avatar grossed a cool $2.8B - as bullish on the future of 3-D. "Once broadcast moves aggressively to 3-D, every movie will be in 3-D. It’s that simple." Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
- Friday, September 23, 2011, 10:06 AM A report saying Disney (DIS) was one of the companies contacted to buy all or part of Yahoo (YHOO +1.5%) isn't quite exciting investors. Shares of DIS are down 0.8% vs gains registering on major indices. Comment! [Consumer, On the Move]
- Wednesday, August 24, 2011, 2:24 PM Amusement park operators Six Flags (SIX +2.1%) and Cedar Fair (FUN +3.2%) are both higher on renewed speculation attendance numbers will be stronger-than-expected for the summer. Also positioned to benefit are Disney (DIS +0.5%) and Comcast (CMCSA +1.7%), both gainers for the day. 1 Comment [On the Move, Tech]
- Thursday, August 18, 2011, 9:56 AM Shares in TV companies follow Time Warner (TWX -4%) lower, possibly on CEO Jeff Bewkes' comments about weaker ad sales. DIS -2.6%, CMCSA -2.1%, VIA -2.4%. Comment! [On the Move, Consumer]
- Friday, August 12, 2011, 1:38 PM The WSJ's MarketBeat blog notes "economically sensitive" stocks such as Boeing (BA +4.3%), Caterpillar (CAT +3.4%), and Disney (DIS +3.3%) are outperforming today, a sign recession fears may be ebbing. Other recession-sensitive names moving higher: MGM +5.2%. WYNN +4.1%. HON +3.4%. LULU +7.5%. URBN +5.4%. Comment! [On the Move]

$DIS is allowing JJ Abrams to direct Star Wars 7. I like this move, fantastic director. - View all 8 replies

Minutemen: I am not a fan of JJ Abrams' stuff (movies or TV), but he seems to do well at the box office. I did like StarTrek and Super 8 though. -
Philip Saglimbeni: hopefully he does something similar with Star Wars as he did with Star Trek: bring it to new generations but keep it familiar as well
