Filed under: Other issues, Products and services, Management, Rants and raves, General Electric (GE), Walt Disney (DIS), Media World, Chasing Value, Stocks to Buy, Marvel Entertainment (MVL)  Some of the venom spewed at General Electric Company (NYSE: GE) every time I write about it, is getting kind of old. I understand the criticism of Jeffrey Immelt, the CEO who takes the blame for everything that is wrong with the company and the economy.
I too have felt that he might have done more. In particular, while I argued Monday that most of the companies divisions were well integrated, or at least ...

Learning the lessons of early failures from the 1970s, MVL has learned to capitalize on its IP. Aside from the Spiderman (Sony) and X-Men(Fox), MVL now secures financing and develops films based on its properties and, as a result, will retain the lion's share of the profits. Iron Man was the first big hit and, coupled with the Incredible Hulk, sets the table for the Avengers franchise, which is full of potential spin-offs if done well. Iron Man 2, Captain America, Thor and Avengers are all in the pipeline. The future is bright.

Raising Estimates on Marvel Due to Optimism on Hulk; Reiterate Outperform

6/11 - "Despite the massive success of ’Iron Man’, concerns about ’The Incredible Hulk’ have remained a negative for Marvel shares. However, buzz for the movie has improved markedly over the past few weeks, and we now believe that concerns about the box office prospects for ’The Incredible Hulk’ are largely unwarranted. We are raising our domestic box office estimate for the film from $125MM to $150MM, as well as our EPS estimates for FY08E and FY09E. We believe MVL shares can outperform the market by at least 10% over the next 12 months and we rate the shares Outperform."

6/6 - "Marvel Entertainment (MVL) makes toys, licenses and publishes, and produces films with a portfolio of over 5000 characters. It is responsible for such cultural icons as Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk. Most people on Earth are familiar with at least a few of these characters."
"The fundamentals are outstanding for the company...Even with the stock price run-up, the shares are changing hands at a little over 19x current-year earnings. This is not expensive for a company that has so much going for it."
"In more good news, it was recently announced that James Breyer, a director at ...

A Covered-Call Trade on Marvel's "Hulk"
MVL
+45.34%
in

6/13 - "I remain a long-term bull on Marvel, but I believe the stock is more likely to sell off than pop on Monday, when the box office numbers for Hulk are released.
I also believe there is a good shot that the stock will be stuck in neutral next week. My thesis this time around is that analyst expectations are too bullish for a film that may very well just meet expectations."
"A covered-call strategy could work perfectly here. This is where you own the stock, and sell, or write, calls to collect immediate income. The bet being made is that the stock in the short term will either move lo...

<> This is a momentum pick. The movie opened really well at the box office over the weekend(I saw it on Friday, good movie). Marvel has already announced a sequel and a new slate of superhero movies being released in the next few years. I have NO idea how Thor or Captain America will do. I think that momentum money will carry this stock up 7 points in the next couple of months.
A few years ago, Marvel significantly changed their business model. Previously, Marvel was principally a toymaker and licensor. This conservative strategy didn't help them cash in onthe b<><>...

The Spiderman effect is predictable and you should buy before and sell on release. But this upcoming year there will be a new trick that gets added... not predictable at all because it has never happened with this stock (yet.)
What happens when a hotly anticipated movie comes out that Marvel owns *all* the income from? Even if the movie "tanks" and only brings in the cost of production, such a movie would prove that Marvel has the chops to increase it's income exponentially.
If the movie succeeds... Even modestly, they will be adding as much to the bottom line from the movie ...

<> On Marvel's (mvl) earnings call today, the company hinted at what I wrote back in June and has since become apparent: That sales of Hasbro's (has) Spider-Man toys have been a disappointment. According to Marvel CFO Ken West, "While Hasbro has not been disappointed with licensed Marvel toy sales to date, we have reduced our forecast for the second half of 2007 to the low end of their forecasts to reflect a possibility of lower reorders..." Hasbro, you may recall, paid Marvel a minimum guarantee over of $215 over five years, with $100 million paid up front. Marvel for...
