Walt Disney Co ( DIS ) CEO Bob Iger announced an "Avatar-based land" will be built at the company's Disneyland Resort at the Morgan Stanley Technology Media and Telecom Conference on Tuesday.

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 ( DIS ) 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 ( DIS ) 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 ( DIS ) shares closed down at 0.72% at $112.87 at market close Tuesday.
