On July 3, Disney rose 3.09% in regular trading, trading at $98.7/share, with turnover of $563 million. The gain was driven by a combination of streaming sector strength and a new content licensing deal for Disney+.
On the news front, Disney+ and Anime Ltd. announced a streaming licensing agreement covering the UK and France markets, granting Disney+ access to Anime Ltd.'s award-winning animation library. The partnership aims to enrich localized content offerings in key European markets, particularly targeting audiences with strong interest in Japanese animation, thereby enhancing platform diversity and subscriber appeal.
The broader streaming and entertainment sector posted notable gains, with Netflix surging 5.19% and Spotify rising 3.12%, creating a clear sector linkage effect. Meanwhile, JPMorgan recently raised its price target on Disney to $140, and Goldman Sachs maintains a $163 target with a buy rating. Raymond James adjusted its target to $111 from $119 while maintaining an Outperform rating. The analyst consensus average target stands at approximately $130, suggesting meaningful upside from current levels.
