Prior to today's trading, shares of the entertainment company had lost 4.81% over the past month. This has lagged the Consumer Discretionary sector's loss of 2.9% and the S&P 500's gain of 0.07% in that time.

Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $22.1 billion, up 14.82% from the year-ago period.
DIS's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $3.98 per share and revenue of $90.27 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +12.75% and +9.13%, respectively.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for Walt Disney. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. To benefit from this, we have developed the Zacks Rank, a proprietary model which takes these estimate changes into account and provides an 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. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant within the past month. Walt Disney is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
