Q3 misses, largely on Fox acquisition spending

Disney reported 7% Q3 revenue growth (cons. +8%), EBIT growth of 2% (cons. +8%) and EPS of $1.87 (AE $1.89, cons. $1.95). Around $0.05 of the miss was due to ~$100m of spending around the Fox acquisition while another $0.05 was due to the write down of two film titles (maybe related to John Lasseter's departure?). The call focused mainly on the Fox deal and specifically on the company's DTC plans. We remain Neutral given potential costs and disruption around the DTC launch which we have now included in 2020 estimates. We retain our PT of $121 which requires a 15x FY20 multiple and implies a 12% discount to the market.
