Disney earnings could nearly double by 2024, Morgan Stanley says

Marvel’s universe of superheroes and heroines could hurl earnings of Walt Disney Co. and its new streaming service to stupefying heights, Morgan Stanley predicts.

Disney DIS, +0.30% will nearly double earnings per share -- from $6.50 in 2020 to between $11 and $12 in 2024 -- as Marvel plays “perhaps the most critical role” in building its forthcoming Disney+ streaming service, Morgan Stanley analyst Benjamin Swinburne said in a note Tuesday. He has an Overweight rating on Disney shares with a price target of $160, suggesting a 14% upside to its current trading price.

“An immense execution challenge awaits Disney and its streaming ambitions, but its brands and content position give it a strong chance of success,” wrote Swinburne, who predicts a customer base of more than 130 million by 2024, two-thirds of them overseas. “Marvel has broken beyond fanboy demand to mass market.”

“Avengers: Endgame,” the highest grossing film of all time, is the type of content to lead the way, Swinburne said, noting Disney’s recent announcement it plans to include Marvel spin offs on Disney+. Such a strategy, he said, will “help lock in Marvel fans between theatrical releases.”The superpowers of Marvel underscore the type of content likely to buttress Disney+, which is scheduled to debut in November at $6.99 a month without advertisements.

It’s the time of development that could lead to sleepless nights for executives at Netflix Inc.

Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.78% premieres its service this year, followed by AT&T Inc.’s T, -0.12% HBO Max and Comcast Corp.’s CMCSA, +1.07% NBCUniversal in 2020.

Disney has gone morally corrupt. You shouldn't watch their movies anymore or visit parks.

If Morgan has said that, means that was the ideal day to sell near $145 WaltDisney Nyse $DIS
