Disney's Stock Price Target Slashed by Wells Fargo Analyst, Signals Strategic Shift

Wells Fargo analyst Steven Cahall has cut his stock price target on the Walt Disney Co. by over $30, but maintains an "overweight" rating, citing the company's long-term upside potential. Cahall highlighted concerns over Disney's lack of recent content successes and potential challenges in the transition to streaming. However, he also emphasized Disney's strong IP library, the potential for price hikes on Disney+, and the positive impact of the planned sale of linear TV assets. Cahall believes that the recent carriage dispute with Charter Communications is not as significant as some believe and expects Disney to launch an ESPN streaming service in early fiscal year 2025. Overall, he sees the longer-term direct-to-consumer earnings and margins story as the key reason to own Disney stock.
