This excerpt taken from the DIS DEF 14A filed Jan 12, 2007. The following graph compares the performance of the Company’s common stock with the performance of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index and a peer group index over the five-year period extending through the end of fiscal 2006. The graph assumes that $100 was invested on September 30, 2001 in the Company’s common stock, the S&P 500 Index and the peer group index and that all dividends were reinvested.
The peer group index is a custom index consisting of the companies that were formerly included in the Standard & Poor’s Entertainment and Leisure Index. Although Standard & Poor’s discontinued this index in January 2002, the Company believes the companies included in the index continue to provide a representative sample of enterprises in the primary lines of business in which the Company engages. These companies are, in addition to The Walt Disney Company, media enterprises Time Warner Inc, CBS Corporation (formerly Viacom, Inc.) (Class B common stock) and Viacom Inc. (created on December 31, 2005 by the separation of the company formerly known as Viacom, Inc. into two publicly held companies, CBS Corporation and Viacom, Inc.) (Class B common stock); resort and leisure-oriented companies Carnival Corporation, Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc., Hilton Hotels Corporation, Marriott International, Inc. and Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide, Inc.; and consumer-oriented businesses Brunswick Corporation, Darden Restaurants, Inc., McDonald’s Corporation, Starbucks Corporation, Yum! Brands, Inc. and Wendy’s International Inc.
