The Walt Disney Company (DIS), L Brands Inc (LTD): 3 Stocks You Would Want to Take on a Date

Page 2 of 2

The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) isn’t just a movie company though. If you want to impress your date, take her to Disneyland theme parks and resorts (two thumbs up to that). But really, the company makes profit from its media segment and buries it in real estate (hence the reason it has $74.89 billion in assets).

The company is expected to grow earnings by 12.37% on average over the next five years. The growth in earnings will be driven by the opening of theme parks, increased demand for cable viewing, along with growth in ticket sales from upcoming titles like Star Wars and The Avengers 2. The company also compensates its investors with a 1.19% dividend yield.

The stock currently trades at a 19.5 earnings multiple. The earnings multiple is reasonable when you consider the company’s diversified portfolio of businesses paired with the consistent growth in earnings it has been able to deliver.

Conclusion

I have summarized the best place to eat, shop, and watch movies. You can use this list to impress a lady, or beef up your investment portfolio.
