Coming into today, shares of the entertainment company had lost 5.71% in the past month. In that same time, the Consumer Discretionary sector lost 3.72%, while the S&P 500 lost 1.22%.
Investors will be hoping for strength from DIS as it approaches its next earnings release, which is expected to be November 7, 2019. In that report, analysts expect DIS to post earnings of $0.97 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 34.46%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $18.91 billion, up 32.16% from the prior-year quarter.
It is also important to note the recent changes to analyst estimates for DIS. 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.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. 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 ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988.
