Disney's outperformance in 2024 is more the result of years of underperformance rather than Disney being a consistently strong stock. The entertainment titan ended 2023 at just over $90 a share -- close to the company's eight-year low of $78.73. Even after falling around 8% so far in April, Disney is still up close to 25% year to date. However, the stock is lower today than it was five years ago, which illustrates the magnitude of the downturn.
