Ashva Capital Management stated the following regarding The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) in its fourth quarter 2025 investor letter:

"The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) is a classic example of asset quality being obscured by cyclical and managerial noise. Few companies in the world possess a comparable portfolio of intellectual property, global distribution, and experiential monetization. As Disney rationalizes its streaming strategy, restores profitability in its Direct-to-Consumer segment, and continues to compound value through its parks and experiences segment, the company’s underlying earnings power becomes increasingly visible. Importantly, Disney’s franchises are not merely content libraries — they are multi-decade brands that monetize across film, television, parks, merchandise, and licensing. In our view, the market has focused excessively on near term disruption while underappreciating the durability of Disney’s long-term cash-flow generation."
