No Customer Large Enough to NameWide moat

Walt Disney (DIS) — moat facet

Disney discloses no customer concentration at all; its receivables are spread across a wide variety of customers and markets.

Disney has no customer concentration to report. Its 10-K says its trade receivables "do not represent a significant concentration of credit risk" because of "the wide variety of customers and markets in which the Company's products are sold, the dispersion of our customers across geographic areas"1. There is no customer above 10% of revenue in any table.

Spread too wide for any one customer to matter.

That is what a business selling to households looks like. Park guests, streaming subscribers, cruise passengers and toy buyers each pay Disney a little; the largest business customers are distributors and advertisers, none of them large enough to name.

Receivables give a sense of scale. Disney had $10,544 million of current accounts receivable from contracts with customers at the end of fiscal 2025, plus $985 million non-current2, against revenue of $94,425 million3. At 27 June 2026 net receivables were $14,553 million4, up from $13,217 million in September, partly because of the season.

Diversified by name is not the same as diversified by exposure. Most of Disney's customers are American households: they buy the park tickets, pay for Disney+ in the United States and watch ESPN through a pay-TV bundle. A slowdown in American consumer spending would reach all of them at once, as the pandemic did in fiscal 2020 and 2021.

The concentration Disney does have is on the other side of its contracts, with the leagues and studios it pays, which the page on commitments sets out. A distributor above 10% of revenue, should Disney ever disclose one, would suggest its bargaining position with the pay-TV industry had weakened, because one buyer could hurt it.

Moat trajectory: Holding steady

No customer above 10%; receivables $14.6bn at June 2026.

The number that tests this moat
Reported
Receivables, latest quarter
$14,553M (27 June 2026), from $13,217M at September 2025

A rough gauge of what customers owe; a rise far faster than revenue would mean slower-paying distributors or licensees.
