Walt Disney - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy).

Walt Disney
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in The Walt Disney Company:

The Walt Disney Company reported earnings per share (EPS) of $1.76 for the latest quarter, significantly exceeding the consensus estimate of $1.44. This strong performance indicates robust profitability and effective cost management.

Recent upgrades from analysts, including a price target increase from Loop Capital to $130.00 and from Goldman Sachs to $139.00, reflect growing confidence in the company's future prospects.
The Walt Disney Company operates through diverse segments, including Entertainment, Sports, and Experiences, which helps mitigate risks associated with reliance on a single revenue stream.

Walt Disney
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in The Walt Disney Company for these reasons:

Despite recent positive earnings, the company has a net margin of only 6.07%, which may indicate challenges in maintaining profitability compared to competitors.
Some analysts have issued "hold" ratings, suggesting that the stock may not be a strong buy at current levels, which could limit potential upside for investors.
Price targets from some analysts, such as Macquarie's $110.00, indicate that there are differing opinions on the stock's value, which could lead to volatility.
The entertainment industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid changes in consumer preferences, which could impact The Walt Disney Company's market position and revenue streams.
Recent economic uncertainties may affect consumer spending on entertainment and experiences, potentially impacting the company's financial performance in the near term.
