Barclays maintains an 'Overweight' on Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS) price target lowered to $44.
Barclays analyst says, "While Disney's quarter appeared to beat headline EPS estimates by $0.05, the "beat" was due to ESPN revenue recognition (~$0.06/share) that management had said would be deferred, meaning Disney's quarter was a modest miss. While Parks room rate growth was up strongly in the quarter, given an uncertain consumer, we are taking a more conservative stance going forward. We are also modestly lowering our ESPN ad revenue assumptions. Our new FY12 EPS is now $2.85; we are lowering our target to $44. Despite these revisions, given an aggressive buyback plan and unduly compressed P/E multiple, we do not believe it makes sense to rotate out of DIS at this time."
