Disney a good buy right now?

Question has been asked here recently. Several takes there.

Aside from the politics (which personally irritates me), the P/E ratio is the one thing that stands out right now. It's shocking to see it so high when the stock is off 50% from it's one-year highs.

Regardless, and it sounds contradictory, the stock price in the low 90's seems too enticing. I've had an open buy order in for a few weeks at $90.5 and plan to leave it open.

Same here. Not sure why I didn’t sell when it was in the $180-200 range, considering the pre pandemic price was far lower.

Have you considered “cash secured puts” ?

To this point, short-term Covid hampered EPS is the issue with Disney. But the political stuff could serve to lock in a lower earnings paradigm.

FWIW, Macrotrends is a nice site, specifically for looking at pre/post-Covid PE-EPS interfacing, and sector security price comparisons (e.g., sortable sector price:book ratios)

I disagree. Disney has a culture problem with failing entities such as ESPN. People will eventually get Marvel and Stars Wars Fatigue then all they will have left are the parks which are now extremely expensive.

I know this is a high level view but this is what I see on the surface.

Agreed. Management has made some really bad decisions of late, concerning content. With an impending recession on the horizon, I can easily see the park attendance falling off. Those two things don't bode well for an increase in the stock price.

I’m really bullish on Disney since they announced that Gay Buzz Lightyear 2 is coming out next summer

You must have a small head if that spun you. I own an S&P 500 index fund but I don’t want to buy Disney as an individual stock. Not that difficult a concept.

they aren’t going anywhere and probably a fine long term investment- plenty of other places for growth with management teams that are there to maximize shareholder returns. Other businesses can virtue signal with minimal risk- chevron has a rainbow flag during pride month and sprinkles in some tranny commercials… whatever. Family values / child oriented mega company with a management team willing to seemingly spearhead controversial social issues seems… unnecessarily risky. Like, why? Just has that feeling of the company trending in a worrisome direction

NO!
