On CAPS, 94% of the 5,300 members who have rated Disney believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Earlier this week, one of those bulls, TMFCane, succinctly summed up the Disney bull case for our community:

Cautiously optimistic based on the new park in China, the Marvel deal (Avengers not even counted in last earnings release) and increased park attendance looking up for the foreseeable future. Long-term prognosis is swell; coulda gotten a better deal entering earlier, but still betting on outperforming.

If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite its five-star rating, Disney may not be your top choice.
