Walt Disney (DIS) ended its latest trading session at $121.82, down 1.09%, underperforming the S&P 500’s slight dip of 0.07%. While the Dow fell 0.37%, the tech-heavy Nasdaq edged up 0.03%.
Despite the daily drop, Disney’s stock has risen 6.48% over the past month, beating both the Consumer Discretionary sector (+5.29%) and the S&P 500 (+3.94%). Investor attention now turns to Disney’s upcoming earnings report, scheduled for August 6, 2025.
Analysts expect Disney to report earnings per share (EPS) of $1.47, a 5.76% year-over-year increase, and revenue of $23.7 billion, up 2.35%. For the full fiscal year, Zacks Consensus Estimates forecast $5.78 EPS and $95.15 billion in revenue — gains of 16.3% and 4.14%, respectively.
Recent upward revisions in analyst estimates suggest improving sentiment, a key factor in Zacks’ proprietary stock rating system. Disney currently holds a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), supported by a 0.21% increase in EPS forecasts over the past month. Historically, Zacks Rank #1 stocks have averaged annual returns of 25% since 1988.
Valuation-wise, Disney trades at a forward P/E ratio of 21.32, in line with the industry average. Its PEG ratio stands at 1.8, more favorable than the industry average of 2.21, indicating reasonable growth expectations.
While the Media Conglomerates industry currently ranks in the bottom 40% among sectors, Disney’s performance and estimate momentum continue to attract investor interest.
