Is it a good time to buy Disney stock?
The technical analysis gauge below displays real-time ratings for the timeframes you select. However, this is not a recommendation. It represents a technical analysis based on the most popular technical indicators: Moving Averages, Oscillators and Pivots. Finder might not concur and takes no responsibility.
Disney share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Disney's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$87.5913 up to US$123.852. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market ( average) beta is 1, while Disney's is 1.441. This would suggest that Disney's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Disney share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 21.55% of net profits
Recently Disney has paid out, on average, around 21.55% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.43% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Disney shareholders could enjoy a 1.43% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Disney's case, that would currently equate to about 1.5 per share.
While Disney's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Disney is investing more in its future growth.
Disney's most recent dividend payout was on 21 July 2026. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 June 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Disney's shares ever split?
Disney's shares were split on a 10000:9865 basis on 12 June 2007. So if you had owned 9865 shares the day before the split, the next day you would own 10000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Disney shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 1.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Disney shares which in turn could have impacted Disney's share price.
