Disney's Balance Sheet Analysis Sample

In this section of the financial report, I walk you through a broad definition of what a balance sheet is and why it is important.  From this, I then discuss and define important balance sheet line items, such as cash, inventory, etc., in detail.  Finally, I offer a summary analysis of the company's important balance sheet line item trends.  For example,...

Disney's Property, Plant, and Equipment

The Walt Disney Company's property, plant, and equipment ended 2016 at $27.3 billion.  In the next four years, the organization's property, plant, and equipment would grow substantially, ending 2020 at $32 billion.

The substantial growth in property, plant, and equipment indicates that executives for Disney anticipate sustained revenue growth for the long-term.  From an investor's perspective, this should give the stakeholders a moderate feeling of confidence in knowing that executives have faith in the organization's ability to grow.  However, the substantial growth in fixed assets like property, plant, and equipment does leave the organization vulnerable to unanticipated revenue declines.  A better strategy may be for the organization to rein in their fixed asset growth until optimization is achieved with their current fixed assets.
