Borst is identifying Disney as a top stock for Goldman, encouraged by growth catalysts across most of its businesses.

DIS Stock Price & News - Walt Disney Co. - Wall Street Journal

Goldman's Borst is feeling good about Disney's prospects at the corner multiplex, something that may not seem like much of a stretch, given how the House of Mouse has dominated at the box office in recent years. Disney was the studio behind all three of last year's highest-grossing films and three of four the top draws in Beauty and the Beast currently stands as this calendar year's top dog, and it has now generated more than double the domestic receipts of the current silver medalist.

Borst believes that its near-term dominance at the movie house isn't going away anytime soon. He thinks Disney's fiscal , ending in September, will turn in another strong showing.

It's hard to argue against that conviction, with Guardians of the Galaxy and Pirates of the Caribbean sequels coming next month.

However, the real prize in Borst's eyes will be fiscal Goldman's love doesn't end at a film's rolling credits, as Borst is also eyeing record results at Disney's iconic theme parks.

This isn't a risky suggestion, of course.

Disney's been able to grow that segment's revenue and operating profit even as attendance has slipped in three of the past four quarters.

Borst even has some kind things to say about ESPN, the business that's often the sticking point for bulls and bears alike. Disney's sports network may not be able to escape the cord-cutting phenomenon, but Borst thinks normalizing costs with its prohibitive NBA contract and other factors could result in accelerating profit growth at ESPN. Borst won't have to be right about most of these potential catalysts for the stock to get there, and we'll be celebrating new highs even before we get halfway there.
