Needham analyst Laura Martin has reiterated a Hold rating on Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) due to concerns over high consensus estimates, DTC losses, and weak earnings from linear TV and box office. Martin also highlighted the potential downside risk to Disney's valuation due to $60 billion of capital spending at Parks & Resorts. Despite these concerns, Martin believes Disney's asset mix and benefits from generative AI make it a potential takeover target. Disney recently disclosed ESPN's revenue and operating income, with the latter representing a significant portion of DMED's revenue and operating income. Martin projected FY23 and FY24 revenues and EPS slightly above consensus.
