DreamWorks Animation Struggles to Meet Financial Goals Despite Netflix Deal and China Expansion

DreamWorks Animation (DWA) faces challenges in meeting key financial criteria, with its stock dropping 15% in the past year. Despite a successful film like Madagascar 3, the company needs to make strategic moves to bolster sales and improve growth, margins, return on equity, valuation, and dividends.

DWA has signed a streaming video deal with Netflix, but the latter's performance has been mixed. The animation studio has also opened a new facility in China, part of a larger entertainment complex including the world's biggest IMAX theater. However, DWA's stock has lost three full points since last year's analysis. The Motley Fool owns shares in DWA, Netflix, Disney Plus, and IMAX, and has recommended buying shares of Netflix, DWA, IMAX, and Disney Plus. While no stock is guaranteed, investors seek growth, strong margins, a healthy balance sheet, good return on equity, reasonable valuation, and solid dividends in an ideal stock.

DreamWorks Animation's future depends on its ability to meet financial criteria and make strategic moves. Its recent deals with Netflix and the opening of a Chinese studio show promise, but the company must improve its performance to regain investor confidence.
