Disney chart showing key levels of support and resistance

Walt Disney Company (DIS)

It’s been a long time since we’ve covered Disney, a classic American company that holds a special place in the hearts of people across the globe. Unfortunately for investors, the stock itself has not been so special for Wall Street as it delivers little to no return for nearly three years. But the tides may be changing for Disney…let’s break it down.

What does Walt Disney Company do?

You obviously know the parks, but Disney is much more than that. At its core, Disney is an intellectual property machine. The company creates characters, stories, franchises, and worlds…and then monetizes them across multiple channels for decades.

Disney’s business is split into three main segments:

Entertainment - This is the content engine. It includes Disney’s movie studios, TV networks, streaming platforms, and massive library of brands like Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, ABC, FX, Hulu, and Disney+.

Sports - This is mainly ESPN. While traditional TV is still under pressure, live sports remain one of the most valuable forms of media because people still watch them in real time. That keeps advertisers interested and gives Disney a major opportunity as ESPN continues shifting into streaming.

Experiences - This is the parks, resorts, cruise lines, vacation clubs, merchandise, and licensing side of the business.

Disney’s Struggles & Current Objectives

Disney struggled because several major pressures hit at once. The company’s pivot to streaming was necessary, but expensive, forcing heavy spending before Disney+ became profitable. At the same time, the traditional cable bundle kept shrinking, putting pressure on their legacy networks. Disney also dealt with weaker content momentum as their releases lost box office consistency. Even the parks, while still strong, faced struggles around inflation, rising costs, and how much pricing power Disney still had with consumers.

Disney’s current objective is to prove to investors that the turnaround is real. The company is focused on growing earnings again, improving margins, turning streaming into a consistent profit engine, and expanding ESPN into the direct to consumer era…this turnaround seems to be working as revenue grew 7% last quarter. Streaming especially stood out as it returned significant operating margin.

All in all, Disney is starting to prove that its strategy is working. Streaming is no longer the money pit it once was, Experiences remain strong, and management is guiding for double digit adjusted EPS growth in both FY2026 and FY2027. That’s a major shift from the Disney story investors were dealing with a few years ago, when streaming losses, cable decline, weaker box office results, and rising costs dominated the conversation.

Chart of Oracle's stock showing key levels of support and resistance

Oracle (ORCL)

Price target: Members Only

The household names of the early 2000s have been catching the spotlight in recent months as companies like Dell and HP regain momentum on their successful AI pivot. However not all names who pivoted to the AI buildout gained the same attention…Oracle being a prime example. Although Oracle is becoming a major player in AI infrastructure, investors have turned their backs on it because of the growing debt it’s taken to fund its ambitious projects.

The concern is understandable. Oracle is no longer being viewed as a slow legacy software company with a predictable cloud business. It is now being viewed as an aggressive AI infrastructure company that is spending heavily to secure its place in the next phase of computing. That shift comes with opportunity, but it also comes with risk.

The company is trying to position itself as a major backend provider for AI workloads, offering the compute, storage, databases, and cloud infrastructure needed to train and run large models. If successful, Oracle will become one of the “landlords” of the AI economy (through data). The problem is that becoming a landlord in this industry is extremely expensive. Data centers require enormous upfront capital, long construction timelines, expensive chips, power contracts, networking equipment, and debt financing.

Will Oracle's Bet Payoff?

That’s the real question on investor’s minds, and likely to remain one until “Stargate,” the joint AI infrastructure project between Oracle, OpenAI, SoftBank, and other major partners, starts showing real financial results.

On paper, Stargate is exactly the type of project that could transform Oracle’s future. It gives the company exposure to one of the largest technology buildouts in modern history, placing it directly in the middle of the AI infrastructure boom. If artificial intelligence is the next major computing platform, then the companies supplying the cloud capacity behind it could become some of the biggest winners.

If you believe in this, then Oracle is one of the names to definitely consider.

Valuation and Bull Case for Oracle

At roughly $525 billion in market cap, Oracle is one of the smaller mega cap AI infrastructure plays on the market. The stock still trades at a premium, and with valuation multiples already elevated, investors need to see strong execution to justify the price, especially with the chart under pressure.

The bull case is the backlog…Oracle’s remaining performance obligations have now climbed to $638 billion, one of the largest in tech history. But that backlog still has to be converted into real revenue and cash flow, and the timing matters. Oracle is making a bold AI infrastructure bet, which makes the stock a bold bet too. For that reason, this feels more like a name to build slowly through DCA as more execution data comes out, rather than one to chase all at once.
