Disney Earnings and Trading Activity For its fiscal fourth quarter, Disney is expected to report adjusted earnings of $1.12 per share, two cents above last yearâs results, on revenue of 13.15 billion, pretty much flat to last yearâs $13.14 billion, according to third-party consensus analyst estimates.
The company raised its dividend an impressive 34% in 2014, but even so, the stock still barely yields 1%. Disney's dividend cost the company just $1.5 billion last year, which represented only 23% of annual free cash flow. Rather than spend more on dividends, Disney management prefers to use buy back stock.Last year, Disney spent $6.5 billion on share buybacks and lowered its diluted share count by about 3%.hile Disney has proved to be a fantastic growth stock, it's not such a great stock for income investors. Disney does pay a dividend, but its dividend yield -- currently about 1% -- is far too low to make it a prime candidate for investors who want to generate income from their stock holdings.
