Is it time to buy Disney? Two market pros make their case for and against the stock

Disney beat Wall Street expectations for its first-quarter earnings , but it was its vast restructuring plan that stole the headlines. With CEO Bob Iger back at the helm, Disney is seeking to make a "significant transformation" of its business by reducing expenses and putting the creative power back in the hands of its content creators. This includes a plan to reorganize its business into three segments, while also slashing $5.5 billion in costs.

" "In the meantime, you can buy many stocks in the consumer discretionary sector that don't have the heavy lifting of a restructuring. They still have America's best brands, and the products are reasonably valued," he added. But Jason Ware, chief investment officer at Albion Financial Group, remains bullish on Disney. He believes the company is a "great business" and investors should take a long-term view.
