Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS): Fundamental Research Analysis | 44 Pages Strong Stock PDF

Disney is a diversified media company and makes money through several businesses including cable networks, broadcasting network, theme parks & hotels, filmed entertainment and consumer products.

Its cable networks include channels such as ESPN, the Disney Channel, ABC Family & others. Disney's broadcasting arm, ABC Network, is one of the biggest broadcasting networks in the U.S. with a wide viewership. 

Apart from TV networks, Disney boasts of several theme parks and resorts that attract millions of visitors every year. Furthermore, the company leverages its famous characters and brands to sell a variety of merchandise. Its filmed entertainment unit produces and distributes movies under Disney Studios brand.

Disney's media networks and parks and resorts showed healthy growth in earnings. ESPN is the biggest contributor to Disney's value overall, and we believe the outlook is secure for the sports network giant. Affiliate and licensing fees are growing contributors to earnings, and this is something to watch. Also Disney acquired the Star Wars franchise and we expect this to help its studio entertainment and consumer businesses. 

Hurricane Sandy Destroys - These 22 Stocks Benefit Most From The Monster Storm Of The Millenium

The hurricane Sandy is forecasted as one of the worst storms ever. Whatever will happen, the stock market will survive and business goes on. I researched some interesting companies that could earn some extra money due to the after-effects of the storm Sandy. We have classified our results in industries and introduced some of the major leaders. These are the results:

1. Home Improvement

People who lost their homes and mobiles need to repurchase these products. Companies within the home improvement industry should benefit from the hurricane. The major leaders are Home Depot (HD) and Lowe’s (LOW).

2. Dining Restaurants

Humans who have left their homes need to stay away from home at friends or near family members. For a few days, diner restaurants could make some extra profits from this. Starbucks (SBUX), Dunkin Brands (DNKN) and McDonalds (MCD) are basic investments but a bit too big and well diversified that the super storm should have a significant influence.

3. Travel Companies

If people leave their homes, they need to choose a provider if they don’t have an own car. Lodging stocks, auto rents, Airlines, railroads are main benefiters.

4. Insurer

Insurer should make a loss. If the damages are higher than expected, reinsurance companies should be the biggest losers. If the damages are lower than estimated, insurer could benefit, especially some players from the property and casualty insurance industry. Market leader are Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, BRK.B), American International (AIG), Travelers (TRV) or even Allstate (ALL). 

5. Consumer Goods

People need to buy extra storage of food, water and batteries. Companies like Procter&Gamble (PG) have a big relationship to the consumer battery industry (Duracell). Otherwise, the company should benefit from replacement buys of flooded goods.

6. Diversified Machinery

Some companies from the diversified machinery industry have products against flooding. Companies like Xylem (XYL) and PentAir (PNR) produce pumps used in dewatering, drainage and other applications.

7. Stores

Grocery and discount stores should benefit from hamster purchases. Wal-Mart (WMT), Family Dollar Stores (FDO), Target (TGT) or Costco Wholesale (COST) are basic investments.

8. Media Companies

People are sitting in front of their media devices like smart phones, radio, television etc. Facebook (FB), News Corp (NWSA), NY Times (NYT) or even CBS Corporation (CBS) should generate a higher attention.

9. General Building

Cement companies like Eagle Materials (EXP), homebuilder, raw material companies should have a special bull market. Companies like Beacon Roofing Supply (BECN) have a great market position.

Whatever will happen, nothing is so bad to make too fast decisions. But an overreaction could give investors a great opportunity for long-term investors. These are my personal favorites to watch:
