-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:
DIS reported Q2 FY 26 (Sep.) adjusted EPS of $1.57 vs. $1.45 prior year (+8%) and beat consensus estimates, with total segment operating income rising to $4.6B from $4.41B (+4%). Entertainment SVOD delivered $582M operating income (+88%) with 10.6% margin, while Experiences achieved record revenue of $9.5B (+7%) and operating income of $2.6B (+5%), though Sports segment faced headwinds with operating income declining 5% due to higher programming costs. A new CEO brings greater focus on technology investments and better integration across business segments, in our opinion. Management provided positive FY 26 guidance targeting 12% adjusted EPS growth, Disney+ operating margin of 10%, and at least $8B in share repurchases. We think the Experiences segment will drive future growth with the $60B 10-year capital investment plan for cruise fleet expansion and theme park attractions, while we expect content investment cycle to create FY 26 margin pressure as Entertainment commits to billion-dollar theatrical releases.
