DIS Holds $105 as YouTube TV Deal Lifts Sentiment
$Walt Disney(DIS)$
105.69 Navigates Post-Earnings Volatility: YouTube TV Deal Sparks Recovery, 112–133 Target Zone Awaits》
Latest Close (EST):
Disney closed at $105.69 (-0.10%), showing resilience after last week's 6.6% post-earnings selloff.
The stock remains approximately 15.2% below its 52-week high of $124.69, consolidating within a critical technical range.
Key Market Drivers:
Disney's Q4 earnings missed revenue expectations at $22.46B vs. $22.75B consensus, triggering initial weakness.
However, the breakthrough YouTube TV distribution agreement announcement provided immediate support, resolving the 15-day standoff and securing ESPN's return to 10M+ subscribers.
Technical Indicator Analysis:
Trading volume at 12.3M shares shows below-average engagement (Volume Ratio: 0.65), suggesting consolidation rather than decisive directional moves.
With amplitude at 2.41%, the stock exhibits controlled volatility patterns typical of institutional accumulation phases near support levels.
Key Price Levels to Watch:
Primary Support: $104-105 (November 14 low) — Critical defense line for bulls; breakdown risks $100-102 retest
Immediate Resistance: $109-110 — Former support turned resistance; reclaim needed for upside momentum
Breakout Target: $124-133 range — Aligns with analyst projections and technical resistance cluster
Valuation Perspective:
Current P/E TTM of 16.59x trades at significant discount to historical averages (21.26x) and well below growth peers.
Forward P/E of 16.10x suggests market skepticism despite streaming profitability improvements and theme park resilience.
Analyst Target Outlook:
Wall Street maintains bullish stance with average target of $133.21 (range: $77-160). Recent Jefferies adjustment to $136 from $144 reflects measured optimism.
Strong buy/buy recommendations from 28 of 35 analysts support medium-term upside potential.
Weekly Trend Forecast:
Expect continued $105-115 range-bound trading as Disney digests earnings reactions and YouTube TV resolution benefits. Sustained volume above 15M shares needed for decisive $112+ breakout. Success above resistance opens path toward $120-125 retest zone.
