Diplomová práce

Abstract:

This diploma thesis aims to explore the financial performance and position of one of the world's oldest and most popular corporations specializing in the entertainment industry – The Walt Disney Company. The author additionally wants to understand if the company can be considered a good investment option. Those objectives are met with the help of the methodology that consists of quantitative techniques, such as horizontal, vertical, and ratio analyses of financial statements, linear regression analysis, return analysis, and volatility analysis. In conclusion, it was suggested that the company was badly hit by the pandemic, but it is actively recovering, so it is projected that if the company will manage to generate a series of successful commercial projects in the nearest future, it will return to the pre-pandemic level. Additionally, it is recommended that the company reconsider its approach to managing working capital as it is rather controversial
