The sell-off has been driven by Disney\u2019s heavy investments into its streaming business, which remains deeply lossmaking, although the company\u2019s surging theme park business has helped to partly offset the impact. The stock could have considerable potential for gains if its recovers to these 2021 levels. Disney stock was trading at a low of about $84 in December and has gained about 9% from those levels, following the return of Bob Iger as CEO and also due to the company\u2019s recent reorganization. In comparison, the S&amp;P 500 gained about 12% during this period.<\/p>\n<p>Returning to the pre-inflation shock level means that Disney stock will have to gain about 120% if the stock recovers from $92 currently to its pre-shock highs of $202 per share. While it\u2019s possible that the stock may recover to those levels, we presently estimate <strong data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.trefis.com\/data\/companies\/DIS\/no-login-required\/eI46BAV2\/Disney-DIS-Valuation-Is-DIS-Stock-Expensive-Or-Cheap-?fromforbesandarticle=trefis230613\">Disney valuation<\/strong> to be around $117 per share, about 27% ahead of the current market price.
