DIS - Where from Here
Disney has been on my watch-list for a while. During the pandemic because of the Disney+ services and as a re-opening trade with regards to the Theme parks.
The headlines around the Delta variant clearly has muted the price action of DIS quite a bit and the stock has been trending sideways since topping out in March this year.
Fundamental Highlights:
Conclusion: The fundamentals seem solid which is confirmed by current analyst ratings and a price target of $210 according to IBKR analyst consensus.
Technicals
* Since the highs in March 21 the stock has retracted and bottomed out around $170 with multiple confirmations at that level
* Formation of a descending Wedge formation, indicating a positive outbreak potential
* Narrow regression band indicates indecisive trading
* Failed wedge breakout in the Aug 15/16 trading session, however lower leg has confirmed support
* RSI neither overbought nor oversold confirming doll-drum territory
* MACD show no clear indication either and has not done so since May
* Resistance band around 190-195
Conclusion: DIS seems bound to make an outbreak of the current pattern in a not too distant future. There seems to be strong buying interest in the $170 area. A breakout above the wedge into the resistance level of 190-195 seems likely. Further upside possible but it will require momentum which could be helped by a positive earnings Q2/Q3 earnings report.
My Strategy
* Seeking exposure around current levels, might be early but I am confident with the current support levels
* A combination of Long Stock and a Risk Reversal
* Stock @ Market, SL 170 / TP 209
* Risk Reversal Long C Jan 22 210 / Short P Jan 22 150

The headlines around the Delta variant clearly has muted the price action of DIS quite a bit and the stock has been trending sideways since topping out in March this year.
Fundamental Highlights:
- P/E at 82.5 seems very high but then the theme park closures has impacted earnings and thus driven the PE up
- Rev. per Share has been strong thanks to Disney+ service demand during the pandemic
- Capital Spending per share remains at the 5y average which in my eyes is solid given the pandemic
- Positive FCF shows that the company is able to generate cash even if the parks are closed
- Dept / Equity seems solid and not overly leveraged
- Disney has not payed dividends since 2019 which is understandable and acceptable
Conclusion: The fundamentals seem solid which is confirmed by current analyst ratings and a price target of $210 according to IBKR analyst consensus.

Trade ativo
Opened trade at 178Nota
Channel breakout on Aug-27, let's see if it can hold. Currently market sentiment seems overly bullish on everything. Wanting to see the stock holding the breakout in the coming days.Nota
Price action remains below the resistance box consolidating at the $180 level. Compared to the broader market DIS has done ok over the past two weeks which provides confidence. MACD shows little to no momentum and RSI is at fair levels
Remaining cautiously bullish alongside analyst consensus
Trade fechado: stop atingido
Trade closed out during yesterdays session. A comment from DIS on potentially slowing Disney+ subscriber numbers sent the stock dipping below $170.
(Note: I probably should have used a lower SL limit to avoid getting stopped on an outlier event like this.)
