Disney (NYSE:DIS) has underperformed in 2023 with only a 1.5% rise compared to the S&P 500's 25% gain. With CEO Bob Iger's turnaround plan, including a dividend reinstatement and investments in streaming and theme parks, Disney is showing signs of a potential recovery. A Golden Cross in the stock's chart and a bullish analyst rating from Rosenblatt Securities suggest optimism for 2024. Disney's stock trades 23% below its 52-week high, presenting an opportunity for investors as the company focuses on growth and profitability.

POSITIVE IMPACT
Disney's stock may see a short-term bullish trend due to the Golden Cross technical indicator, the reinstatement of dividends, and positive analyst ratings. The company's strategic initiatives under CEO Bob Iger's plan could drive investor confidence and stock performance.
The Golden Cross is a strong technical indicator of a potential uptrend, and the reinstatement of dividends reflects confidence in cash flow. The analyst rating from Rosenblatt Securities with a price target of $112 suggests a significant upside from the current trading price. These factors, combined with the strategic moves by Disney, are likely to positively influence the stock in the short term.
