Needham analyst Laura Martin is lowering her 2018 estimates for Disney (DIS), but applauds the BAMTech acquisition as a fast-pass way to escape the U.S. TV-bundle box, albeit expensive as the former said it would be modestly dilutive for 2 years. The analyst believes that every content company must follow CBS (CBS) into the direct-to-consumer channel business to maintain growth. Rather than build it, Disney bought this capability which should accelerate time to market, Martin adds. The analyst reiterates a Hold rating on Disney's shares.
