Whoa, they're on fire recently. Hold. It's slightly more richly valued then the likes of TWX, but I think there's still significant upside. Maybe a little too late to be buying in, your money can be better invested elsewhere.

I feel good about my May 2009 acquisition...

 

[PACVII]

Was thinking of buying but do agree could do better elsewhere. Will hold what I have right now and keep my eyes open for oppertunity to purchase in the future.

 

[Puffy2]

I"ve seen some say it is a strong buy.

I'm hoping it will shoot up and split.

Market Watch is showing analysis breakdown of 14 Buys, 2 Overweight and 14 Holds.

 

[lockedoutlogic]

It's a hold more than a buy...

They already have a pretty huge market cap...so splits are not too likely.

If it does split... Definite buy at the new value

Split means instead having one share at $100 you have two shares at $50 each

If dividend was $1.00 per share, after the split the dividend is $.50 per share.

Exactly.

There are major misconceptions about splits. I think it's partially due to people forgetting that when they buy a stock they are literally buying a piece of the company. The mass of a piece of a pie stays the same even if you cut it into smaller parts. It's just in smaller chunks. That's how it is with stock splits.

 

[PACVII]

I don't think they are going to split anytime soon. I am thinking price will need to get higher. Around 150 plus range to think about that. Thinking right now for sure its a hold just not sure it's a buy. I just don't see price going much higher by year end. Hope I am wrong for sure but just done see it. Think it's going to settle in the 100 to 110 range for some time now.

They have a good amount of movies coming out this year so it will probably be going north soon..

Yes, it should be a great year for Walt Disney Pictures: Cinderella, Avengers - Age of Ultron, Ant-man, Fantastic Four reboot, Tomorrowland, Pixar's Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur, and Star Wars Episode VII. The financial results from the release of Star Wars would be included in Disney's next fiscal year.

 

[PACVII]

All great points maybe i will buy. Thanks for pointing that out. Next year all the construction going on now should help the bottom line. In 2016 Avatar land will be opened and we should know what star war land will look like. Disney springs should be completed as well.

 

[PACVII]

Oh wait Avatar land is 2017 sorry can't rush perfection or Disney construction.

Jeez…i felt like we've been through this before…

nobody is claiming that you "make money" in a split…at least nobody past the 4th guy from the left on the evolutionary chart…

what i'm saying is that if DIS were to split at say…$110….then you buy it at $55 because its a longterm consistent gainer and even with the diluted stock will still rise to $70-$75 in good times…then you dump. As opposed to buying it at $108 and watching it creep from there.

Disney is going into two mega profit years though…so if you want to throw the capital at it…might be the best shot ever.

then it will start to decline because they're draining their brand….but worry about that later (had to put the hook in there somewhere)

I've owned it for over 10-years now, and have watched it pretty carefully. I'd have to say it is still a moderate BUY and a solid HOLD. I think there is plenty of room to go up at this point, but just not what we've seen over the last couple years. They still haven't tapped some of their acquisitions yet.

I bought 10 shares for $110 a share in 1987, $1,100 total. I have lost track of how many times it has split, but those 10 shares are now 125 shares worth just under $13,000. Yikes, enough to buy that 1966 Mustang my wife wants me to buy. Hmmmmm.

Whoa, pretty impressive time to buy. I'm impressed you had the self control to hold through all the that.

Imagine if you had gone for 100 shares -if we only knew ....or had the cash at the time!
