Walt Disney Company (DIS) Price Prediction and Forecast 2025-2030
- For the past century, the Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) has been an entertainment pioneer in international branding, animation, films, television, merchandising, and theme parks. Although the media empire holds some of the most cherished brands, the stock is currently 39.93% off its 2021 high of $191. The return of CEO Bob Iger has helped to steady the ship but investors are much more concerned with future stock performance over the next 1, 5, to 10 years. While most Wall Street analysts will calculate 12-month forward projections, it’s clear that nobody has a consistent crystal ball, and plenty of unforeseen circumstances can render even near-term projections irrelevant. 24/7 Wall Street aims to present some farther-looking insights based on Disney’s own numbers, along with business and market development information that may be of help to our readers’ own research.

Overall, Wall Street expects Disney to report a revenue of $22.49 billion (up from $21.24 billion in the same period last year) and a net income of $1.73 billion (up from $264 million in the previous year). 11/8/2024 Adeia, a technology company, has filed a lawsuit against Disney, accusing the entertainment giant of infringing on its video streaming technology patents. The patents cover improvements to streaming functionality, which Adeia claims are used in Disney’s streaming services, including Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+. 11/7/2024 Disney is poised to report its quarterly earnings on November 14th, with expectations of year-over-year growth in both revenue and earnings. Zacks predicts that Disney will deliver strong quarterly results, with expected earnings per share of $1.09, marking a substantial 32.9% year-over-year increase. Revenues are projected to reach $22.6 billion, representing a solid 6.4% growth compared to the same period last year. 11/6/2024 This weekend the Walt Disney Company will host a D23-type expo in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Similar to the original D23 Expo, this event will reveal new announcements and previews of new Disney experiences and upcoming films. 11/5/2024 Disney’s newest division, the Office of Technological Enablement 9OTE) will be spearheaded by former Walt Disney Studios CTO, Jamie Voris, who will now report directly to Disney Entertainment co-chairman Alan Bergman. The OTE will focus on exploring the potential of emerging technologies like AI and mixed reality, as well as the potential risks associated with these technologies to develop strategies to mitigate them. The team is expected to grow to approximately 100 members. 11/4/2024 Disney is scheduled to share its financial results for 2024 on November 14th. The company will also provide a live Q&A webcast to discuss the results at 8:30AM ET that same day. 11/1/2024 Walt Disney Company is creating a new division to focus on emerging technologies like AI and mixed reality. This new team, the Office of Technology Enablement, will coordinate the use of these technologies across Disney’s various businesses, including film, television, and theme parks. Jamie Voris, who led the development of Disney’s app for Apple Vision Pro, will head the new division. 10/31/2024 Michael Scheuer, a former Disney employee terminated in June 2024, is facing federal charges for allegedly hacking into Disney World’s restaurant menu system. Scheuer is accused of altering allergen information for several dishes, changing pricing details, and adding inappropriate language. 10/29/2024 Disney’s stock closed yesterday at $96.20, up 1.23% for the day. This comes as the broader market, including the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, saw more modest gains. 10/28/2024 Disney is expected to release its quarterly earnings report on November 14th. Analysts predict that the company will report a strong profit of $1.09 per share, marking a significant 32.9% increase compared to the $0.82 per share earned in the same quarter last year. 5 to 10 Year Review Disney controls 25% of the theme park market, which is expected to grow to over $82 billion by 2032. Bob Iger’s 15-year initial tenure at Disney is notable for (4) acquisition milestones: Pixar in 2006, Marvel in 2009, Lucasfilm in 2012, and Fox in 2019. Disney’s market cap grew from $56 billion to $231 billion by the time his contract expired in 2020. A look at the top 10 all-time box office-grossing films shows that except for Titanic and Jurassic Park, Disney or its subsidiaries are the exclusive US distributor for those films (or a 25% stake in the case of Sony’s Spider-Man: No Way Home). Iger’s successor, Bob Chapek, was essentially handed the keys to a well-oiled machine but the company hit a number of rough patches and the stock has been on a long-term slide. Disney would lose about $11 billion from the delays with Disney+, with operating income decreasing by 18% in the push to attract streaming subscribers for Disney+. ESPN+, Hulu, and its other direct-to-consumer (DTC) platforms. Gross over-budget spending of $725 million on Marvel TV shows. After Iron Man director Jon Favreau’s success with The Mandalorian TV spin-off from the Star Wars franchise, the subsequent Kathleen Kennedy-produced TV series was met with yawns and outcries from loyal fans who detested the changes she made in the Star Wars canon, along with her intentional killing off of the main Star Wars characters to make room for her new ones. Fiscal Year (Sept. 30) Price Revenues Net Income 2015 $103.00 $52.465B $8.382B 2016 $92.47 $55.632B $9.391B 2017 $100.70 $55.137B $8.898B 2018 $114.78 $59.434B $12.598B 2019 $130.27 $69.607B $11.054B 2020 $122.55 $65.388B -$2.864B 2021 $176.01 $67.418B $1.995B 2022 $94.33 $82.722B $3.145B 2023 $81.05 $88.898B $2.354B LTM $90.56 $90.028B $4.776B Key Drivers for Disney’s Future Iger’s return to the winning formulas eschewed by Bob Chapek includes the announced return of “Iron Man” star Robert Downey, Jr., only this time as Marvel arch antagonist Doctor Doom. While Inside Out 2 demonstrated the resilience of Disney’s animation department, Iger’s repairs to Disney’s floundering segments have regained their fan bases and show promise. Rectifying the casting and plotline issues with Marvel’s projects, Iger has overseen dumping the storyline starring Jonathan Majors as the antagonist for The Avengers and replacing him with franchise icon Robert Downey Jr. as comic favorite Doctor Doom. Restoring the winning formula of the popular Marvel Netflix action series Daredevil with the original cast and continuation of the series storyline, as opposed to the Chapek team’s plan to turn it into a courtroom drama. While the Star Wars casting and plotline problems still exist, the recent cancellation notice of the underperforming The Acolyte may be the harbinger of a similar cleanup. To cut expenses and extend profits in DTC, Disney announced the elimination of its “TV Everywhere”-style apps, including DisneyNOW, Freeform, FXNOW, ABC, and National Geographic in September. This is intended to drive subscribers to Disney+ and Hulu. Challenges from Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Peacock to bite into ESPN’s sports coverage are not expected to impact Disney significantly. Both NFL and NBA games may be shared with its rivals, but soccer, racing, and other sports are still firmly in ESPN’s stable. Both Disney’s ESPN and ABC channels have a well-cushioned 37% operating margin, so losing some market share will not impact profits significantly. Although inflation has forced millions of people to cut back on their family vacations, sales at Disney theme parks were still up 2% in Q3 2024. Disney has allocated a 10-year, $60 billion plan to add new attractions and to better enhance the guest experience. The primary issue Disney faces is finding Iger’s next successor. He came out of retirement at the request of Disney’s Board but has made it clear that he doesn’t intend to stay for another long haul. Stock Price Prediction for 2025: Disney’s animated South Pacific heroine, Moana, will return in “Moana 2” in 2025. The consensus 12-month Disney price target from 28 different analysts is $111.57 per share, which would calculate growth estimates at -2.30%. 24/7 Wall Street’s 12-month Disney price projection is $111.93, which would be a -1.99% loss. This is predicated on the anticipation that the forthcoming film and TV slate schedule will proceed as projected. Children’s favorite Moana, the animated South Pacific adventure heroine whose mythological sidekick was voiced by Dwayne Johnson, will return in Moana 2 going into the 2024 Christmas holidays, which should boost 2025’s revenues as Disney’s fiscal year ends September 30. Mufasa: The Lion King, a sequel to the monster box-office hit The Lion King, will close out 2024’s releases. Zootopia 2 and a live remake of Lilo and Stitch round out the 2025 family entertainment slate. 2025 is expected to also delve deeper into Marvel’s next phase, with Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Disney’s Next 5 Years’ Outlook 2026 is expected to see the first Star Wars feature film since 2019 with the return of Jon Favreau directing The Mandalorian and Grogu, yet another Iger reiteration of a winning formula. Additionally, the animated feature franchise Toy Story 5 and the long-awaited live-action Moana should both do big box-office numbers for family entertainment. High anticipation Blockbuster sequels for 2026 include the third installment of the Avatar saga, Avatar: Fire and Ash. As a follow-up to Avengers: Endgame, 2026 is the target date for the release of the aforementioned Robert Downey Jr.-led Avengers sequel, Avengers: Doomsday. Avatar and Avengers: Endgame are the #1 and #2 all-time worldwide box office champions. These movies, with huge fan bases and positive word of mouth, should be able to help drive Disney to $129.14, which would be a 13-14% year-over-year gain. Several analysts believe that 2027-2028 will see the start of the DTC division solidifying its profit engine, and is expected to offer bundled subscription packages that will increase viewership, customers, and revenues, as account churning and costs are further reduced. Other expected box-office hits include Pixar’s Incredibles 3, Frozen III, and Marvel’s as-of-yet untitled next Spider-Man feature, Avengers: Secret Wars a follow-up to Doomsday, and the next Star Wars feature: Star Wars: New Jedi Order. While 2027 would see Disney’s price retrace slightly to $122.60, we believe the 2028 revenues from DTC and the tentpole films slated for 2027 would have fall and winter box-office revenues credited to fiscal year 2028 and would boost the stock to $135.60. Disney stock in 2030 The theme park industry, of which Disney has a 25% market share, was valued at $64.6 billion at the start of 2024. It is estimated to grow to $82.73 billion by 2032. The 10-year, $60 billion plan to add more attractions to Disney theme parks and cruises will likely involve greater interactive technology, virtual reality, and other experiences that could not be replicated elsewhere. While stages of this development would certainly make their way to Disney’s bottom line in previous years, we anticipate many of their innovations to be in full operation and available to the public in 2029, which would boost the initial novelty value to a $149 five-year high. However, high ticket prices that compete with other entertainment platforms might require price reductions. That, combined with uncertainty over Bob Iger’s successor, might cause a slight sell-off. Nevertheless, Disney would still be up 61% in 2030 over its current market price at the time of this writing.

Trade Desk price target raised to $145 from $120 at Loop Capital
- Loop Capital analyst Rob Sanderson raised the firm's price target on Trade Desk (TTD) to $145 from $120 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares after its Q3 earnings beat.

Disney's Latest Unionization Cast Vote Could Signal Shifts in Operational Costs and Investor Outlook
- Walt Disney Co DIS Disneyland cast members, who portray characters like Mickey and Minnie Mouse and perform in parades, voted to unionize with the Actors’ Equity Association, the union announced. This vote, supervised by the National Labor Relations Board, achieved a 79% majority, with 953 out of 1,211 cast members voting in favor. The union, representing over 51,000 professional actors and stage managers nationwide, sought to address issues such as safety, scheduling, fair wages, and other workplace benefits, as reported by the New York Times. Also Read: From Tesla To Toyota: UAW Launches Ambitious Campaign To Unionize Top Auto Players Kate Shindle, president of the union, referred to the successful vote as a dream come true for those who had worked to organize the union effort. This unionization, involving 1,700 workers at the Anaheim location, echoes a broader trend of organizing within the entertainment industry and large companies across the U.S., including over 11,000 screenwriters represented by the Writers Guild of America. The outcome of this vote, pending no challenges, will be certified by the regional director of the National Labor Relations Board within a week. The goal is to enhance the working conditions for employees and the experience for park visitors. Earlier in May, reports indicated Apple Inc’s AAPL unionized retail store in Towson, Maryland, and another store in Short Hills, New Jersey, were considering a potential strike over pay, benefits, and scheduling. Companies, including Starbucks Corp SBUX and Amazon.com Inc AMZN, have garnered attention for their unionization efforts to improve pay and compensation. Amazon doled over $3 million in 2023 on consultants to deter unionization versus $14.2 million in 2022 and $4.3 million in 2021. Walt Disney stock gained over 12% in the last 12 months.
