Market Sentiment Analysis
Equity futures are drifting lower this morning after NVIDIA’s earnings and upbeat outlook failed to impress investors. SpaceX filed its S-1 registration statement with the SEC, bringing it one step closer to its IPO, expected to be the largest ever.

The Walt Disney Company Fundamental Analysis
The Walt Disney Company is a mass media and entertainment conglomerate, a leader in the animation industry, and operates the largest television and film studio in Hollywood.
So, why am I bearish on DIS despite its earnings beat?
The Walt Disney Company reported revenues of $25.17 billion and earnings per share of $1.57, beating expectations of $24.87 billion and $1.49, respectively. Still, I turned bearish amid streaming profitability challenges as they limit pricing power and subscriber growth, which will weigh on margins. Streaming is a bright spot but contracting linear TV viewership and affiliate fees add to medium-term concerns. I am also bearish on the abandoned plans to spin off ESPN.
