DIS : YouTube Deal Sparks Hope, $112–133 Target Zone Awaits
$Walt Disney(DIS)$ closed at $105.69 (-0.10%), maintaining stability near the $105.61 support level. The stock remains approximately 15.2% below its 52-week high of $124.69, indicating room for upward momentum if key resistance levels are breached.
Core Market Drivers: Disney's partnership with YouTube TV marks a significant breakthrough, restoring ESPN, ABC, and FX channels to approximately 10 million subscribers after a 15-day standoff. However, Q4 earnings showed mixed results with revenue of $22.46B missing analyst expectations of $22.75B, though streaming and parks segments demonstrated solid profitability with experience division operating profit reaching $1.88B.
Technical Analysis: Trading volume of 12.3M shares remained below average with a volume ratio of 0.65, suggesting consolidation rather than breakout momentum. The current P/E ratio of 16.59x appears reasonable compared to historical levels, though still elevated versus the S&P 500's 20-25x range. Forward P/E of 16.10x indicates improving earnings expectations.
Key Price Levels:
Primary Support: $105.61 – Recent technical floor providing bounce opportunities
Resistance Zone: $112.31 – Critical breakout level for trend reversal
Secondary Target: $124.69 (52-week high) – Major resistance if momentum builds
Analyst Outlook: Wall Street maintains optimistic views with 10 strong buys, 18 buys, and 6 holds. Average price target of $133.21 suggests 26% upside potential, though Jefferies recently lowered their target from $144 to $136 while maintaining a "buy" rating.
Weekly Trend Forecast: Expect continued consolidation within the $105-$112 range as the market digests earnings results and YouTube TV agreement benefits. A sustained break above $112 could trigger momentum toward $120-$125, while failure to hold $105 support may test the $100-$102 zone.
