Walt Disney (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>) built an empire on magic — but Charlie Munger wasn't buying any of it.
In what turned out to be one of his final public interviews before his death in 2023, the longtime Berkshire Hathaway vice chair took a hard-nosed look at the entertainment giant during the <a href="https://youtu.be/0S_ex0_gL5g?si=QnGchMcEXS3afWX9">Daily Journal Corp.'s annual Q&amp;A session</a> — the same forum where Munger famously spoke off-the-cuff with brutal clarity.
He was asked whether <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/insights/options/25/04/44797845/looking-at-walt-disneys-recent-unusual-options-activity">Disney was still a good investment</a>.
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>‘Scrolling To UBI' — Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mode-mobile-2">You can invest today for just $0.26/share with a $1000 minimum.</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
His response? First came the correction: "We've never owned Disney shares," Munger clarified.
CNBC's Becky Quick, who was moderating the session, responded, "That's my mistake."
But then Munger leaned in. "Disney is an interesting case. Practically every business that Disney has has gotten tougher than it used to be," he said. "Again — welcome to human life."
For Munger, Disney's problems weren't subtle. They were structural. He described the company's golden era with reverence — calling ESPN a "total gold mine" and reminding listeners that "The Lion King" once dominated Broadway.
"Disney once owned the world," he said.
Now? He said nearly every part of the company — from streaming to sports — is struggling. "How would you like running the sports, ESPN, now at Disney compared to its heyday? It's going to be way harder for them."
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Then came the line that caught the most attention: "Movies look to me like it's going to be a bloodbath."
That wasn't hyperbole. It was Munger's long-held belief. Despite Berkshire's investment in Paramount, he admitted he'd avoided the movie industry entirely. "I've never made an investment in a movie business in any way, shape, or form. It always gives me the willies," he said. "I don't like the unions. I don't like the crazy agents. I don't like the goddamn crazy lawyers. I don't like the crazy movie stars."
That, in a nutshell, was Charlie Munger: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44438885/charlie-munger-told-a-20-year-old-that-getting-rich-through-investing-is-damn-near-impossible-and-you-might-need-10-million-in-the-bank">blunt, sharp, and completely </a>unmoved by Hollywood glamour.
"It may be a good place to make a living as an actor or writer," he added, "but it's a hard place to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44438885/charlie-munger-told-a-20-year-old-that-getting-rich-through-investing-is-damn-near-impossible-and-you-might-need-10-million-in-the-bank">make money if you're an investor.</a>"
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
That skepticism hasn't looked so far off. As of this month, Disney's stock sits at $84.81 — down roughly 24% from just a year ago. And over the past five years, it's fallen nearly 60% from its 2021 peak of $199.45. While analysts still see long-term potential, the reality is clear: this isn't the Disney of the glory days.
In the end, Munger's message wasn't just about Disney — it was about investing in a world that doesn't stay easy forever. "They went from triumphs around — marching, marching, marching," he said. "All of a sudden, on practically every front, it's more difficult."
Then he shrugged: "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44723566/charlie-munger-gave-his-no-1-tip-for-a-long-and-happy-life-avoid-crazy-at-all-costs-but-watch-out-crazy-is-way-more-common-than-you-think">Welcome to human life</a>."
And with that, the 99-year-old investor said more in a few minutes than most analysts write in a dozen reports.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Norfolk Southern 20 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

Steel Dynamics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLD#NASDAQ">STLD</a>) reported first-quarter financial results after the market close on Tuesday. Here&#8217;s a look at the key details <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/04/n44937297/steel-dynamics-reports-first-quarter-2025-results">from the print</a>.
<ul>
<li>Q1 Revenue: $4.37 billion, versus <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings">estimates</a> of $4.2 billion</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Q1 EPS: $1.44, versus estimates of $1.38</li>
</ul>
Steel Dynamics shipped 3.5 million tons of steel during the first quarter and generated $230 million of operating income from its steel operations. The company reported $153 million in cash flow from operations, which was reduced by annual companywide retirement profit-sharing distributions of $165 million.
The company&#8217;s average external product selling price for steel operations decreased $13 sequentially to $998 per ton. Steel Dynamics noted that flat-rolled steel pricing rebounded from recent lows. Steel demand in the quarter was led by the energy, non-residential construction, automotive and industrial sectors.
Steel Dynamics repurchased $250 million worth of its common stock in the quarter and ended the period with total liquidity of $2.6 billion.
&#8220;Underlying steel demand improved in the&nbsp;first quarter&nbsp;as customer orders rebounded and backlogs increased throughout the quarter at our steel and steel fabrication operations. Steel prices improved throughout the quarter from the lows seen in the second half of 2024 as trade actions have seen imports decline from recent highs,&#8221; said Mark Millett, chairman and CEO of Steel Dynamics.&nbsp;
&#8220;We should see the benefit from these higher steel prices in the coming months, as lagging flat-rolled steel contracts roll. In combination with our ongoing value-added flat-rolled steel and aluminum expansion initiatives, there are firm drivers in place for our continued growth.&#8221;
Outlook: Steel Dynamics expects domestic steel consumption to be &#8220;solid&#8221; throughout 2025 and in the coming years. The company noted that it has seen some &#8220;uncertainty&#8221; from customers related to recent trade tensions. 
Despite the uncertainty from customers, Steel Dynamics expects demand for lower-carbon emission, U.S.-produced steel products combined with lower imports to support steel pricing and demand.
STLD Price Action: S<a href="http://benzinga.com/quote/stld">teel Dynamics shares</a> closed Tuesday up 3.38% at $117.39; after-hours, shares were up 1.80% at $119.50 at the time of publication, per <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro</a>.

In the current market session, Equinor Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EQNR#NYSE">EQNR</a>) price is at $23.40, after a 1.56% increase.

<h3>Evaluating Equinor P/E in Comparison to Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 30.41 in the Oil, Gas &amp; Consumable Fuels industry, Equinor Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 7.41. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1745359216_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
