Over on CAPS, fully 3,378 of the 3,665 members who have rated Disney -- some 92% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These Foolish bulls include youngblood58 and CAPS All-Star TMFBuck.

Earlier this month, youngblood58 wrote that Disney is "one of the most recognized brands around the world. The current economic conditions haven't helped, but entertainment companies tend to thrive in recessions -- especially in box office receipts (Hanna Montana), DVDs and lower-end merchandise."

In a pitch just three days later, TMFBuck agreed, citing Disney's strong business and weak stock price as an ideal investment combination:

The time is right to pick up some of the mouse. If you look back about 8 to 10 years and you compare that Disney to today's version I believe this business has gotten much stronger. The leadership team, which is led by Iger is much better. Creativity is flourishing again thanks to the acquisition of Pixar and John Lassiter. Their EPS has increased from $.56 to $2.25 in 2007. Their revenues have increased from $25 billion to $35 billion. Their shares outstanding has decreased slightly. All this and the stock price has moved down from $38/share to around $22 today. I think it's more than a fair price for this iconic brand.
