Book - The Next Civil War

Sorry Little Guy. Vous avez tort. The evidence is overwhelming.

What you consider to be “evidence” that Disney’s faltering stock prices is somehow related to it being a Marxist/Maoist front is no more than a bunch of unattributed quotes. You seem to first be believing your own rhetoric, then falling into the post hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy.

People who know more about content production than you or me rate Disney highly.

Box Office Studio Report Card: Disney’s Billion-Dollar Rebound

Disney
Grade: A
Highs: “Inside Out 2” ($1.69 billion), “Deadpool & Wolverine” ($1.33 billion), “Moana 2” ($717 million to date)
Lows: “The First Omen” ($53 million), “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” ($397 million)
Takeaways: The bigger they are, the harder they fall… the faster they rise again? After a rare, terrible year in 2023, Disney enjoyed a considerable box office rebound with not just one but three expected billion-dollar blockbusters. (“Moana 2” is projected to cross the billion-dollar mark in January.) No other studios fielded a single $1 billion release in 2024.

Stock analysts attribute a variety of factors for the Disney stock performance, none of which is Marxism, Maoism, or DEI.

Why Is Disney Stock Dropping?

While Disney’s streaming business has turned around remarkably well and is now generating operating profits, versus a peak quarterly loss of nearly $1.5 billion, its Parks segment is the latest worry.

Disney blamed everything from the Olympics and China’s sluggish economy for the slowdown, and said that while high-income customers have of late preferred to travel internationally, those falling into the lower-income bracket are financially strained due to high inflation.

Its “Inside Out 2” is not only the most successful movie at the box office this year, it's also the fourth most successful animated movie ever.

Wall Street analysts are quite bullish on Disney stock, despite its dismal price action. The stock has a consensus rating of “Strong Buy,” while its mean target price of $119.43 is almost 39% higher than yesterday’s closing prices. The stock even trades below its Street-low target price of $100, while the Street-high target price of $140 represents an upside potential of about 63%.

Not only is there no Marxism or Maoism, there isn’t even any Trotsky in there.
