Prior to today's trading, shares of the entertainment company had gained 10.36% over the past month. This has outpaced the Consumer Discretionary sector's gain of 5.98% and the S&P 500's gain of 8.35% in that time.
Walt Disney will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release, which is expected to be August 10, 2022. In that report, analysts expect Walt Disney to post earnings of $0.94 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 17.5%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $21.37 billion, up 25.52% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $3.93 per share and revenue of $84.83 billion. These totals would mark changes of +71.62% and +25.82%, respectively, from last year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for Walt Disney should also be noted by investors. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Based on our research, we believe these estimate revisions are directly related to near-team stock moves. Investors can capitalize on this by using the Zacks Rank. This model considers these estimate changes and provides a simple, actionable rating system.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
