Among recent calls, Doug Creutz of Cowen reiterated a Hold rating on DIS with a $123 price target, implying moderate upside from current levels. His view suggests that while the long-term story remains attractive, near-term gains may be more measured compared with the broader Street consensus.
Creutz notes that Disney’s latest quarter showed more continuity than change under new CEO Josh D’Amaro, as management reaffirmed its focus on existing strategic priorities. The company updated its fiscal 2026 earnings guidance to around 16% year-over-year EPS growth including a 53rd week, which aligns with the analyst’s prior expectations.
Operationally, Disney reported second-quarter revenue of $25.2 billion, up 6% year over year and ahead of both his estimate and market consensus. Segment EBIT of $4.6 billion and adjusted EPS of $1.57 were roughly in line with his model and above Street forecasts, signaling solid but not spectacular improvement.
Creutz highlights mixed performance across segments: Entertainment and Sports slightly trailed his EBIT estimates, while Experiences posted a small beat thanks to stronger per-capita spending and international admissions. For investors, the combination of a Strong Buy consensus, a higher overall price target, and a cautious Hold from a seasoned analyst offers a nuanced picture of risk and reward in Disney shares.
