Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors alike.
Achieving those goals is made easier with the Zacks Style Scores, a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on popular investing methodologies, namely value, growth, and momentum. The Style Scores can help you narrow down which stocks are better for your portfolio and which ones can beat the market over the long-term.
Different than growth or momentum investors, value-focused investors are all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under what their true value is before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, and Price/Cash Flow to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Burbank, CA-based Walt Disney Company has assets that span movies, television shows and theme parks. Revenues were $91.4 billion in fiscal 2024.
DIS is a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock, with a Value Style Score of B and VGM Score of B. Shares are currently trading at a forward P/E of 20.8X for the current fiscal year compared to the Media Conglomerates industry's P/E of 20.8X. Additionally, DIS has a PEG Ratio of 2 and a Price/Cash Flow ratio of 11.5X. Value investors should also note DIS' Price/Sales ratio of 2.2X.
A company's earnings performance is important for value investors as well. For fiscal 2025, 10 analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for DIS, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.31 to $5.41 per share. DIS also holds an average earnings surprise of 13.6%.
DIS should be on investors' short lists because of its impressive earnings and valuation fundamentals, a good Zacks Rank, and strong Value and VGM Style Scores.
