Disney Gets Moderate Buy Rating from Brokers Amid Strong Earnings
The Walt Disney Company has received an average rating of 'Moderate Buy' from twenty-one ratings firms covering the firm, according to Marketbeat Ratings. This rating is based on sixteen analysts who have assigned a buy recommendation, one analyst with a strong buy recommendation, and three who have given a hold recommendation. In contrast, only one analyst has rated the stock as sell.
The average 12-month price objective among these brokerages is $127.61. Barclays increased its price target for Walt Disney to $115.00 and gave the company an 'overweight' rating on August 6th. Phillip Securities raised its rating from 'moderate buy' to 'strong-buy' on May 11th.
Disney's Experiences segment generated approximately $3 billion in quarterly operating profit, with theme parks and cruise lines offsetting mixed performance elsewhere. The results support the view that these areas are key earnings drivers for Disney. Additionally, a new Lakeshore Lodge near the Magic Kingdom is scheduled to open in July 2027.
Disney Cruise Line announced fall 2027 and spring 2028 sailings, including a new Disney Adventure port of call. The company also launched a merchandise collaboration with the NFL, creating another licensing and consumer-products opportunity. On the other hand, CFO Hugh Johnston will participate in Goldman Sachs' Communacopia + Technology Conference on September 9.
