A reading worse than the peer median is a prompt to read the filing, not a conclusion. ![Bar chart of Walt Disney Co balance sheet at the end of fiscal 2025: total assets $198 billion, shareholders' equity $110 billion, long-term debt $35.3 billion, cash and equivalents $5.7 billion.](https://www.getswoopr.com/images/charts/walt-disney-company-the-risks-balance-sheet.webp) *Walt Disney Co balance sheet items at the end of fiscal 2025, from the figures in the table above.

The risks Walt Disney Co considers material are disclosed in Item 1A of its Form 10-K, most recently [filed November 13, 2025](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1744489/000174448925000155/dis-20250927.htm). Read them with three questions in mind: which risks are specific to this company rather than generic, which have changed since the prior year's filing, and which connect to the figures above (a refinancing risk matters more when interest coverage is thin). ## Where These Numbers Come From Every figure on this page is a value Walt Disney Co reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001744489-25-000155 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary. Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Is Walt Disney Co highly leveraged? Walt Disney Co did not report both total liabilities and total assets under the standard tags, so the ratio is not computed here. ### Where are Walt Disney Co's official risk factors? In Item 1A, Risk Factors, of its annual report on Form 10-K, most recently filed with the SEC on November 13, 2025. The company lists the risks it considers material there; the measures on this page only quantify the financial side. ### Can Walt Disney Co pay its interest? Walt Disney Co did not report interest expense under the standard tags for fiscal 2025, so interest coverage is not computed here; its income statement and debt footnote show the details. ## References - [SEC EDGAR: Walt Disney Co Form 10-K filed November 13, 2025](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1744489/000174448925000155/dis-20250927.htm) - [SEC EDGAR: Walt Disney Co annual and quarterly filings](https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=1744489&type=10-K) - [SEC: EDGAR application programming interfaces (XBRL frames and submissions data)](https://www.sec.gov/search-filings/edgar-application-programming-interfaces) ## Related Pages - [Walt Disney Co company dossier](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/walt-disney-company-the/) - [Walt Disney Co financial metrics](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/walt-disney-company-the/metrics/) - [Walt Disney Co financial risk indicators](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/walt-disney-company-the/risks/) - [Walt Disney Co peer comparison](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/walt-disney-company-the/competitors/) - [Walt Disney Co business model and revenue mix](https://www.getswoopr.com/stocks/companies/walt-disney-company-the/business-model/) - [Fundamental analysis guides](https://www.getswoopr.com/learn/fundamental-analysis/) **[Swoopr Editorial Team](https://www.getswoopr.com/authors/swoopr-editorial-team/)** Swoopr's editorial team produces independent investment education content reviewed for accuracy and clarity.
