do you like disney here? >> i don't have a view one way or the other. >> i would ask my stock analyst. >> disney, yes, no? >> don't have a view on a particular stock. >> but disney is going to disappoint. i would think that you'll see a lack of demand in their parks just based on the trend that's been going on, lack of consumer spending and consumer confidence through most of last year though it did pick up in the end. >> also have chipotle mexican coming out with, in a moment and zynga as well, technology. do you like tech here? >> yeah, although i think what's happening, you're seeing a shift to more risk large cap to small cap, growth to value. i think that's the trend. >> all right. thank you both. good to see you. as you can see executives from the brand name, makers of the baking soda arm a.m. hammer ringing the closing bell. stay tuned for disney earnings. >>> and it is 4:00 on wall street. do you know where your money is? hi, everybody of welcome back to the "closing bell." i'm maria bartiromo on the

disney was among the leaders today. open this morning after those earnings last night, and you heard bob iger say on "closing bell" last night that they would be making even more "star wars" movies than early anticipated. after the bell tonight, we will be hearing from a number of companies, two to highlight here. visa. they are expecting $1.79 on revenue of $2.8 billion. more importantly they want to hear from their new ceo and the direction he's going to take that company. the stock is up at this hour as we go to the close, and news corp, they are expecting earnings of 43 cents on $9.28 billion. that stock is down a fraction right now. my friend matt cheslock of virtue financial, what do you see here? mean, you have to admit, this market doesn't seem to want to go down here. >> we keep talking about it every time i come on. >> we only bring you on on up days, by the way. >> that's why it's up right now because i'll take credit for that because it's going against me. visa tonight, this could be an important one as we t

but it is an important test, not only for disney, but for the market as a whole. can a big blue chip at its all-time highs deliver the goods and go higher? i think what is going to be crucial is - of course, making that 77¢ a share is crucial - but i have noticed this earnings season, the forecast, that subtle forecast of gross margin, how is its theme park business going to do on some guidance about the "star wars" purchase and the movies? all these things are going to be crucial to the outlook to see if the stock can go ever, ever higher. > as a money manager, knowing that the earnings are coming out today, is there any action you will be taking, or will you stay on the sidelines and wait until the dust settles? > > i definitely want to see all the intangibles in the earnings report, especially their growth forecast. disney has turned into one of our largest holdings over the years at mws capital, so i am really going to be looking at the analysts' recommendations following the conference call, how people see the tone of the earnings report. obviously, if there

but first, disney.hile earnings per share were down from a year ago, they were better than estimates. tuna amobi covers disney for s&p capital i.q. take us through some of the details and really the mix of income within this big media conglomerate more than half of it comes from media networks like abc and espn, and a quarter coming from the parks and resorts, and 10% from the studio and film business, 15% from consumer products. is this a good mix? >> well, yes, is the short answer. i think this quarter in particular had a lot of noise around it. so i think the numbers are maxed within those numbers are a lot of one-time, non-recurring items, comparisons to the parks on the holiday ship for the new year. you've got the studio coming off of tough comparisons, and some new deals they signed. and which the costs are now just starting to fully get recognized. if you exclude all of those items, over all what i think we can take away is this first quarter results actually sets the tone for what we expect to

focusing on disney.irst of all, the numbers, we're looking at basically the same stock after hours as when the market closed. everybody seems to be digesting this news pretty much what was expected, what do you think? >> they beat on the revenue side. we were at 11.3, the street 11.2. they beat on earnings by a penny. the one area they missed was studio entertainment and frankly that is the area the street would rather see more flexible towards a miss. the street wants to see consistent earnings coming in in theme parks and cable networks. cable networks is the most important area. liz: are you happy with that number? is that good enough for you? >> they beat me on the broadcasting side and on the cable networks. david: everybody focuses on espn. they have others, are you looking for higher fees from cable services from those? >> your affiliate fees and advertising revenue. espn has the highest of any company in the industry north of $5. coming out later, a breakdown of those numbers, but it is more of a
