On CNBC’s "Trading Nation," Mark Tepper of Strategic Wealth Partners said he preferred Netflix, Inc. NFLX to Walt Disney Company DIS back in April 2019 when Disney+ was announced, and continues to prefer the former.
Disney quickly went from $116 to $130 at that time, but since then Netflix has “done very well" relative to Disney.
Due to the concerns surrounding the omicron variant, Disney is expected to face several challenges which will impact its cruises and parks businesses. There has been a decline in the company’s Disney+ subscriber projections also. Tepper recommended buying Disney’s stock under $120 per share.
