As Dow soars, Disney remains a steal

The Dow Jones industrials may be at a new high as a group but, as I’ve said, there are still plenty of individual companies in the index that are undervalued and have a lot of upside if investors would just have more comfort with large-cap stocks.

It has new management, successful new products and is near new one-year highs -- yet it is still not getting a lot of attention. It also earns an industry-leading return on invested capital, and it has made tough new decisions to get its financial house in order.
