Disney Earnings Reactions: 16 Quarters of Hold-vs-Fade Data
DIS's Earnings-Day Profile
Across the last 16 Disney earnings reports, the median earnings-day |move| has been approximately 5%. That's typical for a large-cap diversified media name. The reactions are smaller than tech earnings (which median 8-10%) but larger than consumer staples (3-4%). The volatility regime maps to a name where the print is rarely binary but where the call commentary is often material.
Hold vs Fade Across The 16-Quarter Set
Of the 16 reactions, 9 held direction at day +5, 7 faded. 8 held at day +10, 8 faded. That's much more 50/50 than DIS's segment-level fundamentals would suggest — the noise around streaming guidance, parks attendance commentary, and ad-tier subscriber additions tends to drive multi-day price discovery in both directions.
Up-day reactions (9 of 16) held at day +5 in 6 of 9 cases. Down-day reactions (7 of 16) faded back up at day +5 in 4 of 7 cases. Slight asymmetry favoring 'positive prints stay positive, negative prints find a floor' — but not a strong enough effect to be a directional setup.
- Median earnings-day |move|: ~5%
- Day +5 hold rate: 9/16 (56%); Day +10: 8/16 (50%)
- Up-day reactions hold more cleanly than down-day reactions fade
How To Read Next Week's Reaction
The cohort retrieval becomes most informative ~24 hours after the print, when the parks-vs-streaming narrative has stabilized. Day-0 retrievals on DIS are noisy because the algos haven't yet decided which segment cluster to match against. By Friday's open if the print is Tuesday, the analog set is sharp and the 5-day forward distribution narrows meaningfully.
After the next DIS print, retrieve the cohort on chartlibrary.io to see which segment regime the analog cluster maps to.
