in the opening weekend and J.P. Morgan sees the strength of the company's core studio business as indicative of a strong year ahead.
The firm increased its price target on Disney to $150 a share from $137 in a note titled "No Endgame in Sight for Disney's Success." The new target represents a 7% increase in the shares from Disney's Friday close. The stock is already up more than 27% this year. "The underlying business continues to perform very well with several notable catalysts ahead that we believe may continue to drive outperformance," J.P. Morgan analyst Alexia Quadrani said in a note to investors on Monday.
Quadrani said J.P. Morgan was also raising its estimates for Disney's third quarter earnings to $1.80 a share from $1.73 a shares, specifically citing "a better than anticipated performance of Avengers: Endgame." "We continue to see upside to shares even after an impressive ~20% increase since the Investor Day on April 8 given notable catalysts ahead," Quadrani said.
