An update from Walt Disney ( (DIS) ) is now available.

On February 27, 2026, The Walt Disney Company renewed and expanded its liquidity framework by entering a new 364-day unsecured credit agreement for up to $5.25 billion with Citibank and a new five-year unsecured credit agreement for up to $4 billion with JPMorgan, replacing prior facilities of the same sizes. The facilities, guaranteed by TWDC Enterprises and aligned with Disney’s commercial paper program and general corporate needs, preserve key covenant structures including a minimum 3.0x EBITDA-to-interest coverage ratio, while allowing flexible prepayment and multi-currency borrowing.

Both credit agreements run to 2027 and 2031 respectively, give lenders customary default remedies, and provide mechanisms to transition away from existing rate benchmarks such as Term SOFR, EURIBOR, TIBOR, and SONIA if needed. Disney also amended a separate five-year credit agreement signed in March 2024 to classify FuboTV Inc. as an excluded entity, a move that refines the scope of representations, covenants, and default provisions and helps ring-fence credit risk around certain joint ventures and affiliates.

Each of the credit facilities and the 2024 agreement amendment excludes specified entities, including businesses tied to Hong Kong Disneyland, Shanghai Disney Resort, and FuboTV Inc., from certain obligations and default triggers under the lending arrangements. This structure maintains Disney’s overall access to nearly $9.25 billion in committed bank financing while limiting the impact of potential issues at select ventures on the company’s core balance sheet and lender protections.

The most recent analyst rating on (DIS) stock is a Buy with a $140.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Walt Disney stock, see the DIS Stock Forecast page.

Spark’s Take on DIS Stock

According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, DIS is a Neutral.

The score is supported primarily by a strong earnings rebound and improving margins/leverage, reinforced by positive streaming and parks direction from the latest earnings call. The main constraints are weaker recent free-cash-flow conversion and a clearly bearish technical setup (below key moving averages with negative momentum), with valuation appearing reasonable but not especially cheap.
