The House of the Mouse Is Expecting Some Big Cheese

Thursday, November 09, 2006

SUSIE GHARIB: A treasure island of earnings for the Walt Disney Company late today. After the closing bell, the media giant posted better than expected earnings and revenues. Disney made $0.36 a share in its fiscal fourth quarter, $0.02 more than estimates. It also reported a 14 percent gain in revenues, $8.8 billion. The big drivers: theme parks, movies and media, with stellar performances from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, ESPN's networks, and attendance at Disneyworld and Disneyland.
