Runs theme parks and cruise lines, produces film and television, and sells streaming subscriptions.
Disney (DIS) scores 5.5 out of 10 as of , computed from its reported financial statements. That reads as solid quality. The reading rests on growth, and profitability is what holds it back.
One pillar, solvency, is unscored because the filings behind it carry too little to judge. It is shown as a dash rather than a zero, and the overall score is the weighted average of what could be scored.

A conglomerate scores as the average of businesses with very different economics: parks are capital-heavy and highly profitable, streaming has been neither. Predictability also carries the scar of a period when the parks closed entirely, which is a genuine measurement problem rather than a verdict on management. The pillar split is far more informative here than the overall number.
Disney (DIS) has a Lemma Quality Score of 5.5 out of 10 as of October 14, 2026, which reads as solid quality. A solid reading is a respectable business with clear strengths and at least one area that falls short of the best in its field. Five pillars feed it, and every one of them is computed from what the company reported rather than from its share price.
There are not yet enough Communication Services scores to rank Disney inside its sector, so the comparison below runs across all sectors. Set against 49 companies, Disney lands at the 21st percentile, near the foot of the group. The median across the group is 6.4, and the top quarter begins at 7.2, so Disney is below the typical company here.
Profitability scores 3.9 out of 10, which reads as weak. Every other company in the group scores higher here, against a median of 8.1 across 34 companies. Low margins and returns leave little cushion, so a downturn or a cost increase reaches the bottom line quickly.
There is no solvency score for Disney: too little of the pillar could be measured from the filings to give an honest reading. The overall is therefore the weighted average of the other pillars. Across 39 companies the median for this pillar is 7.6. Without it the overall says nothing about how comfortably the company carries its debt.
Growth scores 8.0 out of 10, which reads as strong. The median across 47 companies is 5.3, so Disney is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 91st percentile. Growth at this level is valuable when it is sustained, and the predictability pillar is the place to check whether it has been steady.
On efficiency, Disney scores 5.4, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 6.3 across 45 companies, which places it below them, at the 25th percentile. Middling efficiency is unremarkable on its own, though improvements here tend to show up in free cash flow first.
On predictability, Disney scores 5.0, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 5.6 across 49 companies, which places it below them, at the 31st percentile. Consistency near the median is typical, and it is worth checking whether the swings came from the business itself or from one-off items.
This is a lopsided profile. Growth scores 8.0 but profitability only 3.9, a gap of 4.1 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. A growth lead says the business is expanding faster than it is doing anything else well, which is worth checking against predictability. A profitability shortfall is the one most worth understanding, since it bears directly on whether the business creates value.
Of everything that could lift Disney’s score, profitability matters most. Bringing it up to the 8.1 median of every company scored would take the overall from 5.5 to roughly 6.8. Only four of the five pillars could be scored. Together they carry 80 of the 100 weight points (the full set is profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20), and the overall is the weighted average of those alone.
These are the companies whose overall scores sit closest to Disney’s. Each page is built the same way, so the pillars can be compared side by side.
How much profit the company generates from its capital and sales.
The company’s ability to service debt and meet its obligations.
How fast revenue, earnings and cash flow are compounding.
How well assets and earnings convert into cash and output.
How stable and consistent results have been over time.
Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

On this reading Disney scores 5.5 out of 10, which reads as solid quality. Its strongest pillar is growth, its weakest is profitability. Quality is not the same as a good investment: the score says nothing about the price you would pay.
Disney ranks at the 21st percentile of the 49 companies Lemma publishes a score for. The median there is 6.4 and the top quarter starts at 7.2, against Disney’s 5.5.
Five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks and then weighted into one overall reading: profitability, solvency, growth, efficiency and predictability. Everything comes from reported financials, and nothing comes from price, sentiment or forecasts.
This page last changed on October 14, 2026. The score moves with the financial statements, so the page changes when a new filing moves the reading rather than on a schedule. Live figures for DIS are in the app.
No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
Inside Lemma Analysis the same five pillars run on every company we cover, with the metrics behind each one, current fundamentals, a DCF you control and a watchlist that tells you when the price catches up.
