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). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Walt Disney
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

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

  • The company has a relatively high P/E ratio of 36.29, which may indicate that the stock is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially leading to a price correction.
  • With a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.36, while manageable, it suggests that the company is using some leverage, which could pose risks if interest rates rise or if cash flow decreases.
  • Insider ownership is low at 0.16%, which may indicate a lack of confidence from executives in the company's future performance.
  • The beta of 1.49 suggests that the stock is more volatile than the market, which could lead to larger price swings and increased risk for investors.
  • Recent insider selling, such as the EVP selling shares at an average price of $110.84, could signal potential concerns about the company's future performance from those within the organization.
