Walt Disney (ISIN US2546871060) was trading at EUR 91.21 at Lang & Schwarz on October 5, 2026 at 12:15 p.m. CEST, up 0.51 percent from the EUR 90.75 prior close. On October 3, 2026, CNBC reported that Goldman Sachs cut its Walt Disney price target from USD 144.00 to USD 140.00 while retaining a Buy rating.

Goldman trims target to USD 140

The target reduction came with a constructive earnings view. Goldman analyst Michael Ng described Disney as a multi-year earnings compounder and cited an estimated 13 percent annual earnings growth rate, while pointing to an investment cycle spanning products and the Experiences division.

The USD 140.00 target remains above the NYSE-listed stock's USD 102.19 primary-exchange quote dated October 2, 2026. That USD price is separate from the Lang & Schwarz euro reference and places the analyst target 37.09 percent above the USD quote.

Streaming and parks drive results

Disney's fiscal third-quarter 2026 revenue reached USD 25.25 billion, up 7.00 percent from USD 23.65 billion in the year-ago quarter, according to Zacks. Adjusted earnings per share increased 28.00 percent year over year to USD 2.06, beating the USD 1.88 consensus estimate by 9.57 percent.

The operating mix explains why analysts continue to emphasize Experiences and streaming. Experiences revenue rose 10.00 percent to USD 9.97 billion, with segment operating income up 20.00 percent to USD 3.02 billion, while Entertainment streaming operating income more than doubled to USD 712.00 million from USD 329.00 million in fiscal third-quarter 2026.

Disney stock stays below its yearly high

The finance picture remains mixed across divisions. Sports revenue rose 4.00 percent to USD 4.50 billion in fiscal third-quarter 2026, but Sports operating income fell 17.00 percent to USD 858.00 million, creating a measurable counterweight to the parks and streaming gains.

Disney's market capitalization was USD 177.5 billion as of October 2, 2026, while its NYSE 52-week range was USD 92.19 to USD 117.09. The euro quote therefore sits above the comparable USD low after currency conversion, but the two venues should not be treated as one price series.
