Disney (DIS) stock hitting new 52 week lows today.

The parks are all opened up no Covid restrictions.
Movie theaters are open and showing the big blockbusters no restrictions.
Cruises are open for biz.

But Wall Street and investors are not showing any love… :thinking:

Next earnings May 11th scheduled should be interesting to see who they blame for lackluster stock price :rofl:

DIS with the ~76 PE ratio and ~187 Enterprise Value / Free Cash Flow. I don’t see them reaching 2018 net margins for a long time with the consumer spending slowdown.

Disney isn’t what it used to be.I don’t think Disney can capture the magic that it once used to have.Many of their stuff is too political.They don’t have the universal innocence appeal like they once did.

I havent watched any comic-related shows on Netflix for years… they all amount to crap.

I want to watch new movies. But all they have are foreign limited series nowadays.

Sorry, I have the time for a 2hr or less movie…not an 8-12 hour foreign show, that might waste my time.

I don’t like how they charge more and are doing 2 parters to try to keep people subscribed longer.

There’s probably a recession right around the corner will hit this summer. With all the inflation will be hard for any company to exceed earnings of pre Covid.
