The Walt Disney Company fundamental checkup using revenue growth, EPS growth, free cash flow, margins, ROIC, debt-to-equity, and TGMCharts chart exhibits as of September 15, 2026.
The Walt Disney Company gets a balanced fundamental read when revenue growth of 10.60%, EPS growth of 0.49%, free-cash-flow growth of 41.84%, net margin of 8.70%, and ROIC of 6.43% support the same story.
The checkup weighs operating growth, shareholder conversion, cash conversion, reinvestment quality, and balance-sheet flexibility. Current ratio is 0.71x and debt-to-equity is 0.42x, so the balance-sheet read is part of the final view rather than a footnote.

Fundamental snapshot
The valuation, growth, profitability, and balance-sheet facts behind the checkup.
The Walt Disney Company should be read through one research question: do growth, cash conversion, profitability quality, balance-sheet flexibility, and valuation point to the same fundamental story? The latest close is $106 as of September 15, 2026, but the checkup starts with business evidence before returning to the market price.
The answer starts with five-year revenue CAGR of 10.60% and five-year EPS CAGR of 0.49%, then tests that growth against five-year free-cash-flow CAGR of 41.84%. A serious fundamental note should not let one growth line carry the whole argument.
Current compounder snapshot · DIS
Live supporting context; not part of the article's frozen 2026-09-15 evidence snapshot.
The Walt Disney Company operates in Communication Services, so the article treats the company as an operating business with measurable growth, margin, reinvestment, and balance-sheet evidence. The snapshot keeps market cap, valuation, growth, quality, and leverage in one view before the prose moves into the chart exhibits.
Fundamental evidence table
A compact cross-check of valuation, growth, quality, and financial flexibility.
Revenue history shows whether the business has been expanding before margins and per-share metrics are considered. Q3 FY2026 (2026-06-27): $25.25B.
+92.12% over 10Y
tgmcharts.com
Five-year revenue CAGR: 10.60%. This is endpoint-to-endpoint from the fiscal years shown — a depressed start year can inflate it, so read it against the recent bars.
Five-year revenue CAGR of 10.60% is the top-line test. A fundamental checkup becomes more durable when revenue growth is paired with earnings growth instead of depending only on margin expansion.
Growth Conversion
Growth conversion asks whether sales growth becomes per-share earnings. Revenue growth of 10.60% is the top-line evidence, while EPS growth of 0.49% shows shareholder conversion. If EPS outpaces revenue, the next section has to check whether that came with durable cash flow and margin quality.
EPS

EPS history shows how much of the business growth has reached shareholders. Q3 FY2026 (2026-06-27): $1.52.

Five-year EPS CAGR: 0.49%. This is endpoint-to-endpoint from the fiscal years shown — a depressed or negative start year can inflate it, so read it against the recent bars.
Five-year EPS CAGR of 0.49% is the shareholder conversion check. If EPS grows faster than revenue, the note should ask whether that came from margin quality, buybacks, or a temporary base effect.
Cash Flow Support
Cash flow is the first counterpoint to an earnings-led story. Five-year free-cash-flow CAGR is 41.84%, so the free-cash-flow exhibit sits immediately after the growth-conversion section. If cash flow lags EPS, the article should reduce confidence in the quality of the earnings path.

Five-year free-cash-flow CAGR: 41.84%. This is endpoint-to-endpoint from the fiscal years shown — a depressed or negative start year can inflate it, so read it against the recent bars.
Free-cash-flow CAGR of 41.84% is the counterweight to the EPS story. If cash flow lags earnings, the quality of the fundamental setup deserves a more cautious reading.
Margin And ROIC Quality
The quality read depends on whether net margin of 8.70% and ROIC of 6.43% support the growth record. Margins show how much revenue becomes profit, while ROIC tests whether reinvested capital is earning enough to make growth more valuable.

Net margin (TTM): 8.70%. The bars below are annual fiscal years.
Net margin of 8.70% shows how much revenue becomes profit. The checkup is stronger when margin quality supports EPS growth rather than simply flattering one recent period.
ROIC

Latest ROIC: 6.43%.
ROIC of 6.43% is the reinvestment-quality check. A business with stronger returns can support a better long-term read even when the valuation is not obviously cheap.
Balance Sheet Flexibility
Balance-sheet flexibility is the guardrail around the growth story. Current ratio is 0.71x and debt-to-equity is 0.42x. Those figures matter because a company can show growth and margins while still losing flexibility if leverage rises or liquidity tightens.
debt-to-equity

tgmcharts.com
Latest debt-to-equity ratio: 0.42x.
Debt-to-equity of 0.42x and current ratio of 0.71x are the balance-sheet checks. They matter because growth and margins are less valuable if financial flexibility is narrowing.
Valuation Context
Valuation is the final context, not the opening verdict. The stock trades at 21.94x trailing earnings and offers an earnings yield of 4.56%. That tells the reader how much growth and quality the market is already asking the business to defend.
The close at $106 is not the conclusion, but it is the market reference point. The fundamental read has to explain whether growth, margins, and balance-sheet support justify the price investors are paying.
Bull/Bear Case
The bull case is that revenue, EPS, free cash flow, margins, ROIC, and financial flexibility keep reinforcing the same business-quality read. The bear case is that one of those links breaks while valuation still reflects the stronger historical record. This is where the note turns from metric list to research judgment.
Bull and bear case
Fundamental support
Five-year revenue CAGR of 10.60% and five-year EPS CAGR of 0.49% support the business case.
Net margin of 8.70% and ROIC of 6.43% are the quality checks behind the thesis.
Fundamental pressure
Free-cash-flow CAGR of 41.84% can weaken the read if it falls away from EPS growth.
Debt-to-equity of 0.42x and current ratio of 0.71x are the balance-sheet checks that can change the view.
Final Read
The final read should change if the daily data updates move revenue growth, EPS growth, free-cash-flow growth, ROIC, or debt-to-equity away from the evidence above. It is general research context only, not personalized investment advice or a buy or sell call.
