New Disney Destination: To Infinity and Beyond! Part 4

The Numbers

Shares of Disney were down 3.5% year to date in 2011 due in part to a lackluster movie performance and softer park attendance, but fourth quarter 2011 saw the company’s EPS increase 24% to a record $2.52 compared to $2.03 in the prior year. (For a full run-down of a long-term analysis, see the supplemental, Warren Buffett Diagnostic.)

Disney is trading at 89% of its 52 week trading range, 15.6 times earnings and has a 13.5% marginal growth rate. Although it does not appear cheap right now, the long-term prospect looks like it will reach infinity and beyond.
