Walt Disney (DIS) Crossed Above the 50-Day Moving Average: What That Means for Investors
Walt Disney (DIS - Free Report) reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, DIS broke through the 50-day moving average, which suggests a short-term bullish trend.
The 50-day simple moving average is a widely used technical indicator that helps determine support or resistance levels for different types of securities. It's one of three major moving averages, but takes precedent because it's the first sign of an up or down trend.
DIS could be on the verge of another rally after moving 6.5% higher over the last four weeks. Plus, the company is currently a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) stock.
The bullish case solidifies once investors consider DIS's positive earnings estimate revisions. No estimate has gone lower in the past two months for the current fiscal year, compared to 3 higher, while the consensus estimate has increased too.
Given this move in earnings estimate revisions and the positive technical factor, investors may want to keep their eye on DIS for more gains in the near future.
