Taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for new and old investors alike.
Many investors also have a go-to methodology that helps guide their buy and sell decisions. One way to find winning stocks based on your preferred way of investing is to use the Zacks Style Scores, which are indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing types: value, growth, and momentum.
Growth investors build their portfolios around companies that are financially strong and have a bright future, and the Growth Style Score helps take projected and historical earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.
Burbank, CA-based Walt Disney Company has assets that span movies, television shows and theme parks. Revenues were $91.4 billion in fiscal 2024.
DIS sits at a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), holds a Growth Style Score of B, and has a VGM Score of B. Earnings and sales are forecasted to increase 10.3% and 3.7% year-over-year, respectively.
Seven analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.07 to $5.48 per share for 2025. DIS boasts an average earnings surprise of 12.7%.
Walt Disney is also cash rich. The company has generated cash flow growth of 4.4%, and is expected to report cash flow expansion of 14.8% in 2025.
With solid fundamentals, a good Zacks Rank, and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, DIS should be on investors' short lists.
