Wells Fargo Sees More Upside For WWE Thanks To 'Raw' And 'Smackdown'
Katz says early reports from credible sources suggest WWE’s upcoming TV deals for “Raw” and SmackDown” are more bullish than he had hoped for. Katz expected the new contracts could be twice the size of the previous ones, but reports suggest rates could triple over the next five years. Reports suggest WWE will be getting $265 million per year from NBC parent Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA) for “Raw” and $205 million per year from Twenty-First Century Fox Inc (NASDAQ: FOXA) for ‘SmackDown.” If the numbers are accurate, the combined deals would add $315 million in incremental revenue per year for WWE.

WWE stock gains after Wells Fargo boosts price target on optimism for new deals
Shares of World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. are up 1.7% in Friday morning trading after Wells Fargo analyst Eric Katz increased his price target on the stock to $76 from $48 on optimism about the company's new TV rights arrangements for Raw and SmackDown. "Taking these deals along with our expectation for another big increase in the UK and India around the same time (announcements coming H2'18 & H1'19, resp.), we still really like the stock here," Katz wrote. As for whether there's the possibility of disappointment this time around upon an official announcement, Katz wrote that there is some risk, but "we think less risk this time as WWE is much better positioned due to demand from more players for its [programming] & less uncertainty on subs." WWE shares are up 106% so far this year, while the S&P 500 has gained 14%.

About Those Foolish Complaints That WWE 'Doesn't Care Anymore' Following Huge TV Deals With Fox, USA
It may almost be summer, but it's been very a rainy season for WWE, which is closing in on a pair of television deals for Raw and SmackDown Live that will reportedly haul in over $2 billion in television rights fees. The B-Team barbecue served as a lowlight on Raw that elicited familiar complaints that WWE no longer cares now that it's filthy rich. The figure is staggering, to say the least, as WWE's stock continues to rise to record highs. Still, the news has brought out a tiresome complaint among a core fanbase prone to a persecution complex. WWE's latest episode of Raw, with no Roman Reigns and facing stiff competition from Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals and Game 7 of the NBA Western Conference Finals, garnered its second-lowest viewership in history with an average of 2.494 million viewers.
