Disney Posts Mixed Fiscal Second Quarter; Strong Affiliate Fee Growth Despite Ongoing Sub Losses
Disney reported a mixed second quarter of fiscal 2017, as the top line came in below our expectations but EBITDA was above our projection. While media networks continue to suffer due to weaker-than-expected advertising revenue and subscriber losses, the parks business expanded with Shanghai driving growth. The increase in expenses was lower than we projected despite the expected large jump in NBA rights costs. We are maintaining our wide moat rating and our $134 fair value estimate.
