Analysis
The Walt Disney Company (DIS) currently trades at $104.68, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $96.11, implying the stock looks roughly 8.2% fairly valued today. We read business quality at 56/100 (solid quality), in the Communication Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: high).
Over the trailing twelve months, The Walt Disney Company generated revenue of $97.3B at a net margin of 11.5%. Revenue grew 6.5% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 11.0%. Net debt stands at $39.2B. Fundamentals as of Jul 20, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $55.79 (bear case) to $151.79 (bull case); at $104.68, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 15% below its 52-week high and 14% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Communication Services peers we cover trades at -52% fair-value upside, at -8%, DIS screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 26 models by family
Widest divergence: Growth Earnings ($129.21) versus Dividend Discount ($16.08). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).

How we calculate Fair Value

A separate quality layer scores the fundamentals. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
