Last week, Disney (DIS) announced its fiscal Q4 2025 earnings, with a 50% hike in its dividend to $1.50 annually. However, Disney’s dividend history shows a three-year suspension and a slow recovery post-pandemic, with a current yield of 1.42%. Despite a bullish stock forecast and double-digit earnings growth expectations, Disney has underperformed the S&P 500 Index, leading to a forward P/E multiple of 16.2x. The 50% dividend hike may not make Disney a top choice for dividend investors, but improvements in streaming and Parks could drive future growth and stock rerating.
