And even with the stock's solid run this year, Cahall sees more upside ahead, lifting his price target to $20 from $13 a share. That implies 41% upside from Thursday's close. "We threw everything and the kitchen sink at a Downside Case scenario for WBD, and it still delevers to 3x by '25E," he wrote. "We now have conviction in FCF to limit downside, while the stock has asymmetric upside." WBD YTD mountain Warner Bros.
