Valuing Walt Disney Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Walt Disney Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Walt Disney Company's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 37x. In other words, Walt Disney Company shares trade at around 37x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
Walt Disney Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.4545. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Walt Disney Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Walt Disney Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $16.8 billion.

Dividend payout ratio: 19.63% of net profits
Recently Walt Disney Company has paid out, on average, around 0% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Walt Disney Company shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Walt Disney Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.75 per share.
While Walt Disney Company's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Walt Disney Company is investing more in its future growth.
Walt Disney Company's most recent dividend payout was on 24 July 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 July 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Walt Disney Company's shares were split on a 10000:9865 basis on 12 June 2007 . So if you had owned 9865 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 10000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Walt Disney Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Walt Disney Company shares which in turn could have impacted Walt Disney Company's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Walt Disney Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $82.9359 up to $123.1718. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Walt Disney Company's is 1.401. This would suggest that Walt Disney Company's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
