WBD Analyst Ratings
Bulls say
Warner Bros. Discovery is poised for growth, driven by significant cash flow generation that supports a reduction in leverage and an ambitious target of reaching 150 million subscribers by the end of 2026, bolstered by upcoming major market launches. In the direct-to-consumer (DTC) segment, a 15% year-over-year increase in subscribers, particularly in international markets, underpins expectations for at least $1.3 billion in EBITDA by 2025 as the company aims for profitable scale. Furthermore, strong performance in the studio segment, highlighted by successful summer film releases that have enhanced profitability, complements the overall positive outlook for the company’s financial trajectory.
Bears say
Warner Bros. Discovery is experiencing significant financial challenges, with total revenues reported at $9,045 million, reflecting a 6% year-over-year decline largely due to the absence of the Olympics and a weaker domestic advertising market. Additionally, the company faces ongoing pressures from lower average revenue per user (ARPU) stemming from distribution adjustments, as well as substantial headwinds from cord-cutting trends and the loss of key sports programming such as the NBA. Looking ahead, the potential for a recession, coupled with competition for viewership and difficulties in executing cost-cutting measures and attracting new subscribers, poses considerable downside risks to Warner Bros. Discovery's financial outlook.
