BMO Capital Markets analyst Daniel Salmon became the latest to upgrade shares of Walt Disney Co. raising his rating on the stock to outperform from market perform on Wednesday. He sees positive catalysts in the company's forthcoming launch of its Disney+ streaming service, the opening of two new Star Wars lands in theme parks, and the possibility for buybacks in the next year.

Disney +
The only topic that we know Disney will certainly discuss is its upcoming streaming service. The brief description for Disney's Investor Day specifically states that it will focus on its "direct-to-consumer streaming services including the upcoming Disney+."
Fox
Disney finally closed on its acquisition of key Fox assets last month, and this is the first time that it can brag about its haul without nervously eyeing antitrust regulators in the shadows. Since Disney+ will be the featured star of the evening, it's more than reasonable for details to emerge on how some of the Fox puzzle pieces will fit into the new service.
Disneyland/DisneyWorld
We already know that the first phase of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge will open next month at its original Disneyland park in California, followed three months later in Florida with Disney World's version. Crowds are expected to be massive at both resorts in the days, weeks, and likely even months after the highly anticipated attractions debut.
There are still plenty of other things going on -- particularly in Florida -- that Disney might be open to addressing on Thursday (because there's no way that it can spend 210 minutes talking about streaming video)
