Ashva Capital’s Q4 Letter Sets Out Long-Term Bullish Case for Disney
The fund argues Disney’s franchise strength can support durable cash flows through streaming rationalization.
Overview
- Ashva Capital highlighted The Walt Disney Company in its Q4 2025 investor letter, asserting that strong intellectual property and experiential assets are undervalued by the market.
- Ashva said Disney’s earnings power should become clearer as the company restores profitability in its Direct-to-Consumer segment and continues to compound value in parks and experiences.
- The fund reported a 2025 return of 2.26% net, or 4.91% gross, which it said lagged broad indices that were led by mega-cap winners.
- Insider Monkey noted Disney shares closed at $112.80 on January 30, 2026, with a one-month return of -1.11% and a 12‑month return of -1.05%, giving the company a market cap of about $201.4 billion.
- Insider Monkey reported hedge-fund ownership at 107 portfolios at the end of Q3, down from 111, and stated that Disney does not appear on its list of 30 most popular hedge-fund stocks, while also promoting AI stocks as faster-return alternatives.
