Following a dramatic year, during which Walt Disney Co (NYSE: DIS) witnessed ups and downs ranging from massive subscriber losses, actors and writers’ strikes, and cuts that made its streaming business more profitable, the company’s stock has recently made a massively bullish upturn.
As it happens, DIS shares first skyrocketed on February 8 after its CEO Bob Iger announced a $1.5 billion stake in Fortnite creator Epic Games, the launch of an ESPN streaming service in 2025, Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour movie on Disney+, and a Moana sequel this year.
The positive sentiment led to the stock’s further gains that culminated at $112.45, marking its highest price in more than one year, according to the recent chart pattern data observed by the stock market analytics platform Barchart in an X post published on February 16.
