Walt Disney is drawing fresh attention on Wall Street as analysts back the stock despite short‑term pressure from a shake‑up in its advertising technology. Barclays reiterated a Buy rating with a $130 price target versus the recent $95.78 close, while broader analyst consensus remains a Strong Buy with an average target near $132, implying a double‑digit upside from current levels.
Disney’s new Prisma Direct platform, built with Mediaocean, is designed to streamline ad buying on its TV and streaming properties via APIs, but the push toward more efficient ad sales is also compressing ad pricing, weighing slightly on the share price. Even so, the stock has gained nearly 16% over the past year, and Wall Street is largely betting that improved adtech and ongoing streaming momentum will support further gains for investors.
