Disney shares explode by 10%: Does the upswing 2025 come?

A spectacular climb for Disney! On Thursday, the media giant's share shot up to an impressive 10% after the results for the fourth quarter were released. Disney reported an increase in adjusted profit per share (EPS) by 39% and thus exceeded the expectations of Wall Street. Sales were $ 80 million over the forecasts at $ 22.57 billion and rose by 6% compared to the previous year. The investors inspired these figures and catapulted the stock to a new one!

The successes of Disney are primarily due to the entertainment segment, which recorded an increase in sales of 14%. While the sports revenues are stagnating and only adding 1% of the income from experiences, the company was able to achieve a total of $ 3.66 billion in operating income in the fourth quarter. The forecast for 2025 now provides a double -digit growth of profits, which also fueled investors.

hedge funds miss the train

Not everyone benefits from this upswing! Famous hedge funds such as the Trian Fund Management by Nelson Peltz sold their shares in Disney in the third quarter and are now missing the big prize. Peltz previously lost a costly proxy fight against Disney and has now completely withdrawn from the company. The MEGA hedge funds from Bridgewater Associates have also given up their positions in Disney, which makes the missed opportunity more painful for many investors.

The Disney share has exceeded the important brand of $ 107.43, which has offered both support and resistance since February. Analysts are optimistic that this brand could now act as support. With a relative stringth index (RSI) of 85, however, the share is overbought, which means that many dealers took profits on Thursday. The question remains: Where will the course stabilize before it may control the daily maximum of $ 114.81?
