Disney Stands Out For Stability, Discipline

That's what Barron's evaluation of the Walt Disney Company says.

Walt Disney Co stands out for its management stability and financial discipline, and long-term investors should be happy, business weekly Barron's said in its latest report.


I think that as an investor, there's plenty to like about the company, even if the short term look of the US economy isn't that rosey. The company looks solid, and Bob Iger has certainly directed it well. I especially like how they are really trying to create new markets and new franchise (that rumored Shanghai park notwithstanding), but also really expanding (exploiting?) the lines that they already have. The Hannah Montana craze is one prime example. Whether that madness can be sustained is another matter, but at the moment, that franchise is a major cash cow for the company, I would think.
