DreamWorks Animation Skg Inc (DWA) Wants to Be The Walt Disney Company (DIS)

But not just yet
Despite the push into merchandising, theme parks, and television revenue, Dreamworks Animation Skg Inc (NASDAQ:DWA) won’t be able to call itself a truly diversified entertainment company anytime soon. Remember that it was just last year that a single box office flop torpedoed its business results. And as for next quarter, DreamWorks expects results to be driven by the TV performance of just two older feature films, Rise of the Guardians and Kung Fu Panda 2.

However, as its new income streams start to add up — and with major non-theatrical content deals coming online starting next year — Dreamworks Animation Skg Inc (NASDAQ:DWA) should look like a very different business in 2018. It might even remind some investors of another company that got its start making popular animated films.
