Walt Disney Company (DIS) Price Prediction and Forecast 2025-2030 (March 2025)
By: 24/7 Wall St. | March 14, 2025
Shares of Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) largely mirrored the broad market over the past month, posting a loss of -10.29% alongside sell-offs that drove both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite into correction territory. The sizable loss comes despite the company announcing Q1 2025 earnings on Feb. 4 that blew estimates out of the water. Disney reported EPS of $1.75 versus analysts’ expectations of $1.45. That marked the seventh consecutive quarterly beat.
For the past century, the Disney has been an entertainment pioneer in international branding, animation, films, television, merchandising, and theme parks. Although the media empire holds some of the most cherished brands, and its film studios were responsible for producing the top three movies at the box office in 2024, the stock is hasn’t been kind to investors lately. Over the past five years, shares are down -3.64%, and over the past year, the loss is more significant at -11.89%.
But Disney announced in January that it will be merging its Hulu + Live TV service with its competitor, Kubo. Disney will own 70% of the new company, which will continue to operate under the Fubo brand. Fubo CEO David Grandler and his management team will continue to lead the company. If Disney and its CEO Bob Iger can continue to grow new and existing business lines, shareholders should take comfort with the company’s future stock performance over the next 1, 5, to 10 years.
While most Wall Street analysts will calculate 12-month forward projections, it’s clear that nobody has a consistent crystal ball, and plenty of unforeseen circumstances can render even near-term projections irrelevant. 24/7 Wall Street aims to present some farther-looking insights based on Disney’s own numbers, along with business and market development information that may be of help to our readers’ own research.

Disney (DIS) Options Surge as Investors React to Earnings
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | February 5, 2025
• Disney reported fiscal first-quarter results that beat top- and bottom-line estimates
• DIS' options pits are exploding with activity after the event
Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS) stock is trading at $113.79 at last check, after the company’s fiscal first-quarter earnings and revenue beat expectations, but was overshadowed by concerns over its streaming business. Disney reported adjusted earnings of $1.76 per share on revenue of $24.69 billion in the quarter just ended, but saw a 1% drop in Disney+ subscribers and warned of a “modest decline” subscribers for the second quarter.
The equity's options pits are exploding after the event. Walt Disney stock has already seen more than 57,000 calls and 19,000 puts exchange hands -- 6 times the average intraday volume. New positions are opening at the most popular contract, the weekly 2/7 120-strike call.
Heading into today, DIS was already struggling year-to-date and now sits just above breakeven for 2025. Long-term, shares remain up approximately 14% year-over-year, with support from the 20-day moving average helping to limit today's decline.
It's worth noting the Walt Disney stock has a history of exceeding volatility expectations, as evidenced by its Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) rating of 93 out of 100. In simpler terms, now may be a good time to weigh in on DIS' next move with options.

Surprised still chart pattern remained in Ascending Triple Top Breakout since 25-Nov-2024,
following CEO Bob Iger selling of $42.7 worth of Dis shares several days ago.
That is good news.
DIS is DISgusting! The only explanation for this rise is the ESG dark money pedos that are double downing on this trash! Which is criminal because ultimately it's our tax dollars going to these idiots and inturn they prop it up to give it the allusion that every is hunky dory... when in reality DIS is Enron 2.0.
They over-report revenues and the SEC turns a blind eye, even after the whistleblower came forward. The bubble will pop eventually!

At this time Disney share price is in Long Tail Up mode on 14-Nov-2024.
After a rapid price rise this means some corrective action could likely take place.
Should that happen, it presents in my opinion, an opportunity to add on more shares as it is in my case. Or to begin investing in Disney co. shares. I think it could be a rewarding investment, imo.
I have a balanced Port and today it's value again appears to continue in its ATH rise mode by closing time of the Market.
I have a positive feeling that Disney will continue in this path.

Walt Disney Stock Upgraded on Macroeconomic Outlook
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | September 30, 2024
• Seaport Research upgraded Walt Disney stock to "buy" from "neutral"
• The stock is on track to snap a five-month losing streak
Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) is down 0.2% to trade at $95.85 at last glance, even after Seaport Research upgraded the blue chip stock to "buy" from "neutral," citing its improved macroeconomic outlook. The brokerage also lifted its price target to $108, which is close to analysts' consensus price target of $110.86.
Walt Disney stock is on track to snap a five-month losing streak today, and is fresh off its fourth-straight daily gain. Since the start of the year, the equity is up 6.2%. A short-term dip could soon be on the way, however, as DIS' 14-day relative strength index (RSI) of 90.6 sits firmly in "overbought" territory.
Calls have been much more popular than usual over the last two weeks. This is per DIS' 10-day call/put volume ratio of 4.86 at the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), which ranks higher than 96% of readings from the past year.
Options are reasonably priced at the moment, too. The stock's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 23% ranks in the low 13th percentile of its annual range, meaning options traders are pricing in low volatility expectations at the moment.
