Disney said that instead of the stock certificate, they are offering shareholders "certificates of acquisition," if they ask for them. But they'll hold no value. "It's worthless," said Bob Kerstein, the founder of Scripophily.com, which buys and sells collectable stock certificates.
Along with many other publicly-traded companies, Disney no longer issues paper stock certificates. But to honor the passion that so many shareholders have for Disney, the company recently released a Collectible Shareholder Certificate that allows them to commemorate their investment in a tangible way.
The all-time high Disney stock closing price was 201.91 on March 08, 2021.
Key Takeaways. Disney's fourth quarter 2021 results disappointed investors, and its stock is falling. The decline was primarily due to slow growth in subscriber numbers for Disney Plus, its streaming service. Revenue for the company's other divisions improved compared to the same time last year.
Pros of Buying Disney Stock
The quarter recorded more than 73 million paid subscribers to Disney+, 10 million for ESPN+ and 36 million for Hulu. Disney+ launched in November 2019 and has seen massive success in 2020. Disney's subscription services have been a strong play for its business.
You can cash them in through the transfer agent of the company with which the stock is owned. Or, you can work with a broker to sell the stock. Research the value of the stock to know whether you are holding on to fortune in cash or simply a pretty, collectible piece of paper.
How do you sell a stock certificate?
Call your online brokerage firm and ask if they need you to sign the certificate in any particular way. Then you have to mail the certificate to the brokerage firm. Most online brokers will provide a mailing address on their website, but again, it's safest to ask.
The ownership transfer form can be found on the back of the stock certificate. Take the certificate to a notary public, and sign it in the notary's presence. Send the stock certificate to the transfer agent by certified mail along with any required documentation of your ownership rights.
