Bank of America Securities and Goldman Sachs have both maintained a Buy rating on Walt Disney shares, each with a price target of $140. Bank of America anticipates improvements in Disney’s operating income, particularly from the Experiences segment, due to factors like the Paris Olympics and a new cruise ship. Goldman Sachs projects Walt Disney’s revenues to reach $23.1 billion in the second fiscal quarter of 2025, with Earnings Per Share (EPS) slightly below consensus estimates.

The analysts from both firms expect Disney’s Direct-to-Consumer segment to benefit from robust theatrical releases and promotional activities, despite challenges in domestic theme park attendance. Goldman Sachs also revised its EBIT forecast for Disney’s Sports segment for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, reflecting expectations after the non-renewal of Major League Baseball sports rights. These developments indicate a focus on strategic business segments and market conditions to drive Walt Disney’s financial performance in the coming quarters.
