Disney Stock Slides Despite Box Office Win
The film matched analysts' estimates but missed a $130 million best?case projection, yet it remains the best?performing Marvel movie of 2025 and the highest?grossing non?sequel in six years.
Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Sign with DIS.
Disney stock dipped 0.9% even as the company has seen box office boosts from Lilo & Stitch's $1 billion haul, Captain America's $415 million run and Thunderbolts' $382 million take, offsetting 2025 flops like Snow White and Elio.
Year?to?date DIS is still up 8.4% and has climbed 31.8% over the past 12 months, showing investor faith in its content pipeline.
Why it matters: When a clear hit fails to lift the stock, it underscores how much investors are balancing theatrical wins against streaming performance, park attendance and broader cost pressures. Investors will be watching Disney's upcoming quarterly update and next weekend's film releases for signs that hits can translate into sustainable share gains.

Disney Stock (DIS) Slips Despite New Zootopia 2 Trailer
Disney (DIS) stock slipped on Thursday despite the release of a new trailer for the entertainment company's upcoming film, Zootopia 2. This latest trailer shows off main characters Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde as they continue their adventures after the end of the first film. Disney also riled up fans of the original movie with a scene that shows Nick Wilde wearing a 'Foxy Dad' shirt, leaving some wondering about the relationship between the two main characters. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Disney has high hopes for Zootopia 2, and that makes sense considering the success of the first film. The original Zootopia pulled in $341.3 million in the U.S. and Canada and $682.5 million internationally on a budget of $150 million. This makes it the company's 10th-highest-grossing animated film. Zootopia 2 will be released in theaters on November 26, 2025, meaning its box office performance will be added to other Disney films that came out this year. This could make 2025 a win for Disney, as currently its box office releases are mixed, with some films well above budgets and others not performing as well. Disney Stock Movement Today Disney stock was down 0.4% on Thursday, but remained up 7.36% year-to-date. The shares have also rallied 28.47% over the past 12 months. With a Nov. 26 release date, it will be some time before investors see the full effect that Zootopia 2 may have on DIS shares. Is Disney Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold? Turning to Wall Street, the analysts' consensus rating for Disney is Strong Buy, based on 17 Buy and three Hold ratings over the past three months. With that comes an average DIS stock price target of $134.67, representing a potential 13.15% upside for the shares.

Why Oklo Stock Is Charging Higher Today
Key Points Analysts have been hiking price targets on Oklo stock over the past week. A bearish take on Oklo stock from an analyst at BNP Paribas Exane illustrates how opinions on the stock's future are mixed. Cautious investors looking for nuclear energy exposure may prefer investing in an ETF. 10 stocks we like better than Oklo › After closing 5.8% lower yesterday from where it ended Monday's trading session, Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) stock is moving decisively higher on Wednesday. While the upstart nuclear energy company didn't have any news to report today to explain the stock's movement, investors are likely responding to the bullish opinions on Oklo stock that analysts have shared over the past few days. As of 1:46 p.m. ET, shares of Oklo are up 6.1%, retreating slightly from an earlier rise of 8.2%. What's Wall Street saying that has investors charged up? Oklo investors have been seeing increasingly favorable commentary from analysts over the past week, with Citigroup lifting its price target to $68 from $30. Most recently, Daiwa upgraded Oklo stock to outperform from hold and raised its price target to $86 from $58. According to The Fly, Daiwa predicated its upwardly revised target on the belief that Oklo will benefit from a favorable regulatory environment. In addition, Daiwa informed investors in a research note that it believes the company's distributed power solution provides a "promising long-term answer" to the current congestion in connecting projects to the electrical grid. Issued over the weekend, Daiwa's $86 price target on Oklo stock implies upside of 13.9% from where shares closed last Friday. Should investors race to power their portfolios with Oklo stock now? While the favorable opinions that Daiwa and Citigroup have about Oklo stock are encouraging, it's important to remember that analysts often have shorter investing horizons than the multiyear holding periods that The Motley Fool favors. Therefore, investors should investigate the company thoroughly before clicking the buy button. Also, it's important to recognize that not everyone is bullish about Oklo stock. Moses Sutton, an analyst at BNP Paribas Exane, initiated coverage on Oklo last week, assigning an underperform rating and a $14 price target. With such disparate opinions about the nuclear energy stock, those interested in nuclear energy exposure who are unsure about how to proceed with Oklo may find a nuclear energy exchange-traded fund (ETF) to be a more favorable option.
