Is DIS A Good Stock To Buy?

An investor can make a few decisions when deciding whether a stock is a good buy. In addition to valuation metrics and price action which you can find on Benzinga's quote pages, there are factors such as whether or not a company pays a dividend or buys a large portion of its stock each quarter.

These are known as capital allocation programs. Disney pays a dividend, which yields 1.05% per year as of the closing price on March 5, 2024.

Buyback programs are different and highly variable. A company can approve a buyback program and purchase shares as it sees fit over the time in which the buyback was authorized.

Looking through the latest news on Walt Disney will often yield whether or not the company approved a buyback program recently. Buyback programs usually serve as a support for share prices, serving as a backstop for demand.

DIS Price Action: According to Benzinga Pro, Disney shares closed down at 0.72% at $112.87 at market close Tuesday.
