[CastAStone]

Disney reports $94 Billion Dollars in Equity (Assets minus Liabilities, eg what they can still borrow against if needed).

I would expect it to tank tomorrow after this call.

No, it will be fine.

The only way it tanks is if one of the guys on the conference call blurts out something stupid like they'll be closed the rest of the year (which of course, won't happen).

I dont think the stock will tumble after reading the actual doc - they were right on target with what they thought would happen to the losses - they are positioned to be strong out of the gate as soon as they get a green light to open.

I expect Disney stock to stay bouncing around like this until we get a firm sense on when WDW opens back up. Right now its just a holding pattern, just like other travel/leisure stocks.

 

[CastAStone]

Bottom line, the $20-30 million loss per day that was reported a couple of weeks ago is accurate.

I think that was a WDW-specific number.

13 days in the quarter * $30mil = $390Mil, so it's probably a smidge higher.

Remember the Asian parks were closed for almost then entire quarter though. With the Furloughs, that number will come down.

Yeah, Q3 is where we will see the big hit.

Plus the report shows the media networks and properties generate more revenue than the parks, helps a lot

Yes, any trader that is paying attention already knew all this info, it is pretty straightforward. Joe blow might sell on this news but not the people that move the price.

Here we go...

True, but ad revenue will be down for Q3 and the big question is going to be fall original TV with the networks not being able to shoot pilots and uncertainty surrounding when productions can go back to work to shoot their next season.

Hold music is fun this go around at least.

My kids have watched the Magic Happens parade so many times that I recognized it instantly despite not having been to Disneyland since it opened.

I was supposed to be there this coming weekend actually...

That music just made me sad. I got very very lucky to see it twice before this all stared. It was the last thing I did in a Disney park before the closures. It was a good day, got to ride ROTR and see the parade.

The upbeat music is strange for an earnings call of a company that’s losing $20M a day lol

They certainly don't want to make it worse.
