Disney Investor Relations

Analyst sentiment toward Disney remains generally positive. Wolfe Research's most recently verified action maintained an “Outperform” rating while lowering its price target to $131 from $134 on June 30, 2026. An Outperform rating indicates that the firm expects Disney shares to perform better than the relevant market benchmark or peer group.

Benchmark analyst Mike Hickey maintained a “Buy” rating and a $115 price target for Disney. UBS's most recently reported action maintained a “Buy” rating while lowering its target to $133 from $138 in July 2026.

A look at Disney's valuation shows a trailing Price-to-Earnings ratio of approximately 22.24. This means that investors are paying about $22.24 for every dollar of trailing earnings, although the ratio changes as Disney's share price and reported earnings change. Its Price-to-Sales ratio of approximately 1.90 similarly compares the company's market value with its trailing revenue.

Regarding its balance sheet, Disney has a Debt-to-Equity ratio of approximately 0.42, meaning it carries about $0.42 in debt for every dollar of shareholders' equity. This indicates moderate financial leverage. Its Current Ratio of 0.71 means the company has approximately $0.71 in current assets for every dollar of current liabilities. Because this figure is below 1.0, it suggests relatively limited short-term liquidity, although the ratio should be considered alongside Disney's cash flow, access to financing, and overall business stability.
