Current Price: $114.72
Current Value: $106.67

UPSIDE POTENTIAL (Relative Value/RV)

FAIR

RV is an indicator of long-term price appreciation potential. DIS has an RV of 1.05, which is fair on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. This indicator is far superior to a simple comparison of Price and Value because it is computed from an analysis of projected price appreciation three years out, AAA Corporate Bond Rates, and risk.

SAFETY (Relative Safety/RS)

POOR

RS is an indicator of risk. DIS has an RS of 0.84, which is poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RS is computed from an analysis of the consistency and predictability of a company's financial performance, debt to equity ratio, sales volume, business longevity, price volatility and other factors.

TIMING (Relative Timing/RT)

EXCELLENT

RT analyzes a stock's price trend. DIS has a Relative Timing of 1.43, which is excellent on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RT is computed from an analysis of the direction, magnitude, and dynamics of a stock's price movements day-over-day, week-over-week, quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year. If a trend dissipates, RT will gravitate toward 1.00.

OVERALL RATING (Value-Safety-Timing/VST)

GOOD

VST is the master indicator for ranking every stock in the VectorVest database. DIS has a VST rating of 1.15, which is good on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. VST is computed from the square root of a weighted sum of the squares of RV, RS, and RT. Stocks with the highest VST ratings have the best combinations of Value, Safety and Timing.

STOP (Stop-Price)

Stop Price: $99.72

Stop is an indicator of when to sell a position. DIS has a Stop of $99.72 per share. A stock's Stop is computed from a 13 week moving average of its closing prices, and is fine-tuned according to the stock's fundamentals.

CI (Comfort Index)

POOR

CI is an indicator which reflects a stock's ability to resist severe and/or lengthy price declines. DIS has a CI of 0.60, which is poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. CI is based solely upon a stock's long-term price history.

EPS (Earnings per Share): EPS stands for leading 12 months Earnings Per Share. DIS has a forecasted EPS of $5.17 per share. VectorVest determines this forecast from a combination of recent earnings performance and traditional fiscal and/or calendar year earnings forecasts.

DIS has a Dividend Safety of 58, which is good on a scale of 0 to 99. Stocks with DS values above 75 typically have RS values well above 1.00 and EY levels that are much higher than DY.

DG (Dividend Growth Rate): Dividend Growth is a forecasted annual growth rate of a company's dividend based on historical dividend payments and dividend predictability.

These are the stocks to buy for somewhat above current income and long-term growth.
