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$91.4889 up to US$115.4187. 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 1.417. 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: 23.55% of net profits

Recently Disney has paid out, on average, around 23.55% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.39% 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 1.39% 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 22 July 2026. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 June 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Disney's shares ever split?

Disney's shares were split on a 10000:9865 basis on 13 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.

Frequently asked questions

• Can I buy Disney shares directly from Disney?

  No, you can’t buy Disney shares directly from the company. You’ll need to open an account with a licensed share trading platform or broker that offers access to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), where Disney is listed under the ticker symbol DIS.

• What currency are Disney shares traded in?

  Disney shares trade on the NYSE in US dollars (USD). If you’re buying from Australia, your broker will automatically convert your Australian dollars (AUD) to USD for the transaction, usually charging a small forex conversion fee.

• Do I need to pay tax if I earn dividends from Disney shares?

  Yes. Dividends paid by Disney are considered foreign income for Australian investors. You’ll need to declare them on your Australian tax return and you may be eligible for a foreign tax credit for US withholding tax already paid.

• Can I buy fractional shares of Disney from Australia?

  Some trading platforms allow you to purchase fractional shares, meaning you can invest in a portion of a Disney share rather than a whole one. Availability depends on your broker, so check if this feature is offered before you sign up.

• When does Disney pay dividends?

  Disney’s dividend schedule can vary and is dependent on the company's board decisions. Check the company’s investor relations page or announcements for the latest updates.

• Is Disney a good stock for beginners?

  Disney is a well-known global brand with a long history, which can appeal to beginner investors. However, it’s important to research the company’s financial performance, streaming competition and future outlook before investing. Consider diversifying your portfolio rather than relying on one stock.

• How do I follow the Disney share price from Australia?

  You can track the Disney share price via your trading platform, finance websites, or news outlets that report on the NYSE. Many brokers also offer price alerts and real-time data to help you monitor market movements.
