Walt Disney: Q4 2022 Earnings Preview
The Walt Disney Co., a diversified international family entertainment and media enterprise founded in 1923, shall release its earnings result for fiscal full year and Q4 2022 on 8th November (Tuesday), after market close. The company operates via two main segments: Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution (DMED) and Disney Parks, Experiences and Products (DPEP). The former covers the company’s global film, television content production and distribution activities, while the latter encompasses parks and experiences and consumer products.

Despite reported sales that slightly missed consensus estimates in 2021, Walt Disney has delivered satisfactory results throughout 2022 (Q1: $21.8B versus $20.3B; Q2: $20.3B versus $20.1B; Q3: $21.5B versus $21.0B). Analyst forecasts for the sales of Walt Disney in the coming quarter remain flat at $21.3B. In full year 2022, consensus estimates stood at $84.4B, up over 25% from the prior year.

On the contrary, EPS of the company missed analyst expectations last year by nearly -7%, at $2.29. This year, its EPS remained flat around $1 for three consecutive quarters, below consensus estimates. In the coming quarter, the market participants expect the EPS to hit $0.55, or $3.79 for the full year of 2022.
In general, the company continued to see significant improvements in attendance, occupied room nights and cruise ship sailings since the reopening of the global economy after the Covid pandemic. The management expected the demand to remain robust going into Q4 2022. Until today, China is the only country that perseveres with the zero-Covid policy. It is still unclear when the policy shall end, however one thing that is certain is that once the Chinese government allows reopening of the economy, this shall further benefit Disney especially in the tourism sector.
In the previous quarter, the company’s Disney+ subscriptions rose to 152.1 million, better than consensus estimates. Nevertheless, operating losses were still the main problem, which led the company to unveil a new ad-supported pricing structure beginning in December this year. The management expected to see Disney+ to become profitable by the end of its fiscal 2024 year.
Technical Analysis:
#Disney (DIS.s) share price closed below the low estimates of analysts ($105) and $105.60 (FR 78.6%) resistance. The psychological level $90 marks the nearest support to watch. Breaking below this level shall indicate the asset price will continue extending losses towards the next support at $79.05 (March 2020 low). On the other hand, a close above the said resistance shall indicate a short-term technical rebound. Resistance includes $126.40 (FR 61.8%) and $141 (FR 50.0%).

The Rising Wedge has been broken. Is this an early indication for GBPJPY?
GBPJPY, H4
The Bank of England appeared to rule out the idea of giving in to previous derivatives market pricing, which implied that the Bank Rate could reach 5% in the months ahead, crippling the Pound’s exchange rate against most other currencies and putting it at further risk.
Thursday’s decision to increase the Bank Rate by ¾ of a percentage point to 3% met market expectations, despite disappointment over the BoE’s latest economic predictions and warnings about indications for the interest rate outlook going forward.
Meanwhile, Japanese Finance Minister Suzuki warned, that Japan could intervene in the currency market “at any time” to support the Yen. Trading activity in the Yen was weak on Thursday, with Japanese markets closed for the Culture Day holiday.
Technical Analysis
GBPJPY fell more than -1.7% in Thursday’s trading, the 4th day of the decline that started at the beginning of this week. Price was seen breaking the lower line of the Rising Wedge pattern, to equate to a weekly low around 165.00. The divergence bias on the H4 period is clearly visible. On the downside, further declines could test the 159.72 support, while on the upside the 168.41 price level might be a re-test area, to bring another decline in the short term. Currently, the price is below Kumo with Tenken-sen and Kinjun-sen crosses on the upside.

BoE Announcement – November 3 2022 – A Dovish Hike
GBPUSD, H1
BoE hiked key rate by 75 bp to 3.00% – as expected¹. At the same time the BoE said the peak interest rate is “likely to be lower” than implied by markets, which should keep a lid on future tightening expectations. The exact opposite of what the FOMC said last night. It is the largest increase in UK interest rates since 1992 when the Major/Lamont government were forced to respond to the debacle of Black Wednesday and the now famous dumping of the Pound from the ERM and the Soros “£1 billion” profit trade.
The MPC vote was 7-2, with one member opting for 50 bp and another for just 25 bp, which likely also reflects the prospects of an austerity budget from the new government, which will keep a lid on demand and inflation pressures further out. A dovish hike then, as the new projections predict a -1.5% contraction in activity next year, followed by -1% in 2024. A 2-year recession. Under the assumption that the Bank Rate will remain at 3%, inflation would slip below target in the fourth quarter of 2025, while under the assumption that the Bank Rate follows market expectations, inflation would slip to just 1.4% in 2024 and to zero by the end of 2025. That implies that in order not to undershoot the inflation target, the BoE will have to peak earlier and at a lower level than markets expect and will likely have to cut rates again over the course of the forecast horizon. Not surprising then that Sterling extended losses in the wake of the initial announcement, with Cable breaching 1.1200 to 1.1175, EURGBP spiked to 0.8700 and GBPJPY trades at 166.50, when Monday the pair was as high as 172.00.
PM Sunak and Chancellor Hunt are working on a plan to fill a sizeable hole in the government’s finances and Truss’ and Kwarteng’s plans of unfunded tax cuts are a thing of the past. Hunt has pushed back the presentation of the full fiscal plan to November 17, but there is little doubt that austerity measures and spending cuts are high on the agenda.
