The Trian Group, which beneficially owns over $3.5 billion of common stock in The Walt Disney Company, announced that Egan-Jones is the second independent proxy advisory firm, along with Institutional Shareholder Services, to recommend that shareholders vote for change in the composition of the Disney board. Specifically, Egan-Jones recommends that Disney shareholders vote "FOR" both of Trian's nominees, Nelson Peltz and Jay Rasulo, and "WITHHOLD" on Maria Elena Lagomasino and Michael B.G. Froman in connection with Disney's annual meeting on April 3, 2024. Last week, ISS recommended that shareholders vote "FOR" Mr. Peltz and "WITHHOLD" on Ms. Lagomasino. Egan-Jones concluded: "We see very little downside and a lot of upsides in putting the Trian Nominees on the Board." Among the reasons Egan-Jones cited for the need for change at Disney were: "The apparent lack of a ... long-term succession plan." "A Board that appears cutoff and unwilling to engage with investors and the broader market." "A business model, we believe to be built for the last decade, but not forward looking and flexible enough to ensure success in the next." "A desire to protect the status quo for as long as possible and at all costs." "Mediocre financial performance and the resultant lower valuation." Similarly, ISS concluded that "incremental change is needed at the company due to multi-year underperformance the company's peers and chosen benchmark, operational challenges, and most critically, a repeated failure on the part of the board to oversee the cultivation of a successor..." In supporting the election of Mr. Peltz and the withholding of support for Ms. Lagomasino, ISS wrote that: Nelson Peltz is "well positioned to provide the catalyst that this board apparently needs to improve its effectiveness."

Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter raised the firm's price target on Netflix to $725 from $615 and keeps an Outperform rating on the shares. The firm also removed Netflix from Wedbush's Best Ideas List after a year of significant growth. The firm's quarterly survey indicates a seasonal deceleration in subscribers and an expansion of subscribers on Netflix's ad tier. As long as global trends remain consistent and the ad market continues to improve this year, Wedbush expects Netflix to continue to report strong results. With that said, some of the major catalysts that drove its Best Ideas List placement have been priced in. The firm thinks the ad tier will continue to limit churn, and it has a significant opportunity to expand its advertising revenue in 2024 and beyond. Furthermore, Wedbush believes Netflix has reached the right formula with global content creation, balancing costs, and increasing profitability.
