Comcast stock falls after analysts downgrade on view that Sky could be an 'albatross'
Shares of Comcast Corp. are down 3.4% in premarket trading Monday after MoffettNathanson analyst Craig Moffett downgraded the stock to neutral from buy in the wake of Comcast's winning bid for British television company Sky over Walt Disney Co. . "The concept of the 'winner's curse' is central to auction theory," he wrote. "By the very nature of an auction, the so-called 'winner' of an auction is the party willing to pay more for an asset than any other party believes it is worth." Moffett worries that Sky "will be an albatross" for Comcast, and he worries about Sky's core business. "Comcast would like to have investors view Sky as a platform-agnostic collection of proprietary programming agreements that can serve as a springboard to create a global [over-the-top] provider, and, to be fair, the company does indeed have many proprietary programming agreements," he wrote. "But it seems as though they would like investors to forget that it is also a satellite TV provider, and satellite video distribution is increasingly becoming obsolete." Oppenheimer analyst Timothy Horan downgraded the stock to perform from outperform, writing of the company's "relatively high new pro forma valuation and expected increased competitive pressures from new technologies-fixed/mobile wireless and OTT video/compression" Comcast shares are down 0.5% over the past 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 17%.

Disney stock gains after company loses Sky bid, 'dodges a bullet'
Shares of Walt Disney Co. are up 1% in premarket trading Monday after the company lost out to Comcast Corp. in a bidding war for British television company Sky. Bernstein analyst Todd Juenger wrote that Disney "dodge[d] a bullet" and achieved "the best possible result" by missing out on a Sky acquisition. "We never understood why Disney would want to operate a European [direct broadcast satellite] business, and we never understood how Sky would contribute to Disney's DTC strategy," wrote Juenger, who has a market perform rating on the stock and a $113 price target. B. Riley analyst Barton Crockett also found the result "helpful" for Disney. "We had worried that if Disney/Fox ended up running Sky, Disney would enter a competitive European pay TV business that was removed from its core content/theme park wheelhouse," he wrote. Crockett rates the stock at neutral and has a $121 price target. Disney shares are up 12% over the past 12 months, while the S&P 500 has gained 17%.
