Nomura Securities Maintains a 'Buy' on Walt Disney (DIS); Addressing Concerns

Nomura Securities maintains a 'Buy' on Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS), PT lowered from $47 to $45.

Nomura analyst, Michael Nathanson, says, "Yes, we believe F3Q will be a messy quarter, but well telegraphed from the company, in our view. Despite that, we still think the “sell-side” is overestimating Disney’s earnings for the quarter, with current consensus at $0.74 vs. our unchanged $0.72 estimate. The biggest driver in F3Q, in our view, is the timing of the $228mn ESPN revenue deferral into F4Q, which pushes our next-quarter estimates above consensus."
