Multiple Firms Hike Disney Price Targets Following Q2 Earnings

Wells Fargo led the charge, increasing its Disney price target to $146.00 on the back of impressive second-quarter results. Barclays similarly raised its target to $135.00 in a separate report. This move has sparked a buying frenzy among analysts at multiple big banks. Additionally, a JPMorgan analyst predicted Walt Disney's stock price to increase following the recent performance. This trend suggests analyst confidence in the company's growth prospects following its better-than-expected Q2 earnings release.

While there was no specific information given out from Barclays or JPMorgan on what influenced this latest forecast, it's clear that these firms are increasingly optimistic about the company's financial trajectory. It will be interesting to see if this renewed interest from the analyst community translates to actual price movements for Walt Disney stock in coming days and weeks.

DIS's Q2 2026 provided the fundamental catalyst for the broad target hike: revenue of $25.17 billion beat the $24.85 billion consensus, with adjusted EPS of $1.57 exceeding estimates by $0.07. Streaming operating income surged 88% year-over-year to $582 million — delivering an 11% segment margin for the first time, a milestone that signals Disney's streaming business has turned the corner on profitability after years of heavy investment. The stock jumped 8% on earnings day, and Disney simultaneously boosted its share buyback authorization above $8 billion for the fiscal year — reinforcing management's confidence in the durability of the earnings recovery.
