Disney stock gains as streaming additions overcome earnings, revenue missThe Walt Disney Co. disappointed Wall Street with earnings and revenue results, but added more streaming subscribers than expected. $DIS posted fiscal Q2 net income of $470 million, or 26 cents a share, on sales of $19.25 billion. Yet ask any Republican, and they'll say 'go woke, go broke', even after showing $470 net income in 3 months. Shows how they can't even understand basic economics. Wall Street is a little bitch with expectations, they posted net income amid hard times and even grew subscribers. Seriously these expectations annoy the shit out of me. I ignore them and look at the bigger picture! My compliments to Disney for the results!
