IN THE SPOTLIGHT: WALT DISNEY, BAIDU

WALT DISNEY: The world’s leading producers and providers of entertainment and information is expected to report its fiscal third-quarter earnings of $0.55 per share, which represents year-over-year growth of over 580% from $0.08 per share seen in the same quarter a year ago.

The family entertainment company would post over 42% to $16.82 billion. The company has beaten earnings per share (EPS) estimates all times in last four quarters, according to ZACKS Research.

“Disney is building content assets that enable it to take advantage of the significant direct-to-consumer streaming opportunity ahead. Disney’s underlying IP remains best-in-class, supporting long term content monetization opportunities,” noted Benjamin Swinburne, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.

“During this period of FCF pressure from Parks closures, ESPN’s FCF generation is key to driving down leverage. Historical cycles suggest a potential return to above prior peak US Parks revenues in FY23”

BAIDU: The leader in the Chinese search industry in terms of user market share is expected to report its second-quarter earnings of $1.93 per share, which represents a year-over-year decline of over 7% from $2.08 per share seen in the same quarter a year ago.

The Chinese tech giant will report full-year earnings of $8.60 per share for the current financial year, with EPS estimates ranging from $8.28 to $9.09, according to ZACKS Research.

“Baidu has provided better disclosure and has struck a constructive tone on its AI initiatives. We find it well-positioned in certain industrial applications. We also like its rich cash position and strategic investments,” noted Gary Yu, equity analyst at Morgan Stanley.

“Our price target reflects materialization of AI investments, but we highlight milder near-term growth vs. peers amid risks from competition. The company appears well-positioned to ride the next Internet wave, but patience is needed. Our price target implies 16x 2022e non-GAAP P/E, vs. the 10-30x trading band since 2018.”
