Disney share in focus
The Disney shares have increased by almost a quarter within the past twelve months until the end of June. In the first half of the year, the plus amounts to 11.37 percent. At the beginning of April, the shareholders had sometimes slipped to $ 80.10 after US President Donald Trump issued new import duties against almost all trading partners in the world. Since then, however, they have been able to recover significantly. At the end of the first half of the year, they cost $ 124.01-an increase of 54.82 percent compared to the 52-week low of April (status: final course from June 30, 2025).
Jefferies raises the course target
Jefferies’s analysts increased their assessment for Walt Disney from “Hold” to “Buy” on Monday and at the same time increased the price target from $ 100 to $ 144. This corresponds to an expected spa potential of around 16 percent compared to the status of $ 124.01 at the end of June. The new rating is based on the 20-fold of the adjusted winner per share of $ 7.20 in the 2027 financial year, reports Investing.com.
Jefferies gives a strengthened trust in Disney’s profit growth prospects as well as improved positioning in the most important business areas as central reasons for the more optimistic assessment. After years of stagnating operational results, the analysts are now expecting new impulses due to structural changes according to investing.com. These include higher margins in direct sales, better developments in the amusement parks and cruises as well as an attractive content and sports portfolio.
Jefferies emphasizes that the concern about a possible cooling of the parking business has decreased from the second half of 2025. In addition, two new cruise ships that start in 2026 are to bring over a billion US dollars annually. According to Jefferies, the Direct-to-Consumer business (DTC) should also develop from a loss loan to an important contribution. In addition, current data show an increase in the Disney+web traffic by more than 40 percent in the past three months. Investing.com reports that new film and series starts such as “Zootopia 2”, “Avatar 3” and the independent ESPN streaming offer should further boost user growth and advertising income.
