Imperial Raises Discovery, Inc (DISCA) PT To $37 On Model Change

Discovery, Inc (NASDAQ: DISCA)
Imperial Capital analyst, David Miller, reiterated his Outperform rating on shares of Discovery Communications (NASDAQ: DISCA) and raised his price target to $37 from $32 after switching his method of valuation to a dividend discount model despite estimates for both FY18 and FY19 remaining "essentially unchanged".

The analyst stated "our models suggest that in FY19, because of the lower interest expense profile as a result of debt pare-downs in FY18, and barring any kind of geopolitical incident or “black swan” event, DISCA could generate $2.63bn of FCF. If DISCA management merely took 10% of that FCF, or $263.0mn, and carved it out for the payment of a common dividend, that would equate to a $0.37/share dividend, or a 1.2% dividend yield based on DISCA closing price on 9/21/18 of $31.80, a yield more or less consistent with Walt Disney (DIS) and CBS Corporation (CBS)".
