Walt Disney (DIS) Stock Pops on Higher Nelson Peltz Stake
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | October 9, 2023
• Trian Fund Management is now Walt Disney's biggest investor
• The equity is bouncing off nine-year lows
The shares of Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) are up 1% at $83.79 at last check, following news that Trian Fund Management, which is owned by activist investor Nelson Peltz, increased its stake in the entertainment name to $2.5 billion. The fund manager is now Walt Disney's largest investor, and may seek several board seats. Plus, Trian said DIS is undervalued at the moment.
The equity is rebounding off an Oct. 4, nine-year low of $78.74, but continues to struggle with overhead pressure from its 60-day moving average. The $86 level is also acting as resistance, and over the past 12 months Walt Disney stock has shed more than 13%.
While calls still outpace puts in the options pits, the latter have been growing in popularity. At the International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX), DIS carries a 50-day put/call volume ratio that ranks in the 81st percentile of annual readings.
For those looking to make a bet on the equity, options are affordable right now. The shares' Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 26% sits higher than just 13% of all other readings from the past year, suggesting near-term option contracts are attractively priced at the moment, from a historical volatility standpoint.

$DIS(Walt Disney): The Stock is Trading Within Buying Area
By: Elliott Wave Forecast | September 26, 2023
Disney has been in a tremendous decline since it peaked at $203.02 back 03.08.2021. The Peak ended a Grand Super Cycle and since then it has corrected in larger pullback. The Elliott Wave Theory provides us with cycle degrees determined by the time each cycle lasts. So the Grand Super Cycle is the highest cycle degree and can sometimes last even centuries. Here is the page that explains all the details within the Theory and provides new traders with enough guidelines to navigate the market. Let’s take a look at the Elliott Wave outlook for Disney.
Disney ($DIS) Monthly Elliott Wave Chart
The chart above is the representation of the Grand Super Cycle and clearly shows a five-wave advance in the Blue degree which ended wave ((I)) Grand Super Cycle. The idea of the five waves means overall that three waves of pullback are next to happen based on the Elliott Wave Theory. Sure enough $DIS have then seen a tremendous decline in wave ((II)) in Grand Super Cycle degree. The symbol has reached the minimum distance within the decline and has reached the buying area. The Elliott Wave Theory primary pattern states that the market moves in five waves in each cycle, then three waves pullback. Afterwards, a continuation higher in the direction of the previous five waves. This is a straightforward behavior that repeats itself time after time.
Impulse Elliott Wave Structure
The graph above shows the five waves advance and the three waves pullback. It looks similar compared to the $DIS Monthly chart. Analyzing the charts of Disney within the Grand Super Cycle makes it easy to understand this decline. It is a great and unique opportunity to buy the stock and hold it for a long time.
$DIS Weekly Elliott Wave Chart
Zooming in on the Weekly chart above, we see how the decline unfolds in a WXY. It is a seven-swing structure which consists of 2 ABC combination. Hence, the market follows a sequence of 5-3-5-3-5-3-5. It should end around 1.00-1.618% of W related to X. At this moment, we are trading within the area, which is represented with the blue box. As seen from the char above, down from wave ((1)), the stock did three waves lower or an ABC, which ended around 01.01.2022. The stock then bounced in wave X and then entered another leg lower. Right now it is trading within the Blue Box area or the 1.00-1.618% Fibonacci extension.
WXY Double Three Structure
The graph above shows how a WXY looks in the Theory. Comparing this to the Weekly chart of Disney, it is fair to say they look alike. Soon Disney will start a new cycle higher and provide investors with an excellent opportunity to ride a very good long position. The Market follows patterns, and the Elliott Wave Theory helps us to identify them and take chances in favor of the trend.

Walt Disney (DIS) Stock Flashing Bear Signal Amid Streaming Buzz
By: Schaeffer's Investment Research | September 18, 2023
• The company's potential sale of ABC has been all over the news
• The stock hit a three-year low earlier this month
Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) has attracted plenty of investor attention lately, amid the entertainment giant's potential sale of ABC. The company also recently settled its cable dispute, returning ESPN and other channels to Spectrum. Television streaming -- and the future of it -- is a hot topic amongst analysts right now, and Raymond James joined the discourse today. The firm initiated coverage on DIS with an "outperform" rating, saying the company's "strong asset portfolio will help support a steady push toward streaming."
On the charts, DIS has been underperforming with a 21% year-over-year deficit, and just hit a Sept. 7 three-year low of $79.75. Though the Dow member has been rising from those lows, the bounce may be short-lived, as it's just come into contact with its 50- and 60-day moving averages, two historically bearish trendlines.
According to Schaeffer's Senior Quantitative Analyst Rocky White, DIS come within one standard deviation of its 60-day moving average seven times in the past three years, after which the stock was lower one month later 86% of time, averaging a 7% loss. Walt Disney stock's 50-day trendline has seen eight similar signals, and was lower after the ensuing month 75% of the time to average a 3.9% drop.
When speculating on DIS, now looks like a good time to weigh in with puts. The security's Schaeffer's Volatility Index (SVI) of 23% ranks in the low 7th percentile of its annual range, meaning options traders are pricing in low volatility expectations at the moment.

$DIS > Disney Comes To The Rescue, Ensuring US Open Broadcast Amid Cable Blackout
8:25 am ET September 6, 2023 (Benzinga) Print
In a surprising move, The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) has intervened to resolve a cable blackout crisis during a dispute with Charter Communications, ensuring the uninterrupted broadcast of the U.S. Open tennis matches.
What Happened: Approximately 15 million U.S. pay-TV customers have been unable to access Disney networks, including ESPN, since Thursday due to a fee dispute with Charter, as per a report by Financial Times.
This standoff pits Charter, a traditional cable carrier striving to retain subscribers amidst cord-cutting trends, against Disney, which has been promoting direct-to-consumer streaming in recent years and relies on ESPN for U.S. sports programming.
Tennis players at the U.S. Open found themselves caught in the middle, unable to watch opponents’ matches in New York.
To address this, Disney provided secure logins to its app for some U.S. Open players and media members, including ESPN tennis analyst John McEnroe, who contracted COVID-19 and was reportedly “going nuts” that he couldn’t attend matches in person.
LMFAOOOOOOO………pps on July 31, 2023 $88.89, right now it’s $81.14. If $88.89 was an attractive level, what’s it now? Anybody who listened to you at $88.89 is down, imagine that. Are you ever right?
Heck this is almost as bad as a mining ticker with no mine……..SMFH
Hope it drops to 65, 10 year low.
