] surged as much as 4% after the Mouse House topped Street forecasts.The entertainment giant said it earned 46 cents a share excluding one-time items in its fiscal fourth quarter, compared with 43 cents a share this time last year. Sales for the most recent quarter reached $9.87 billion, up from $9.445 billion in the same period last year.
Analysts who follow the company projected Disney earning 41 cents a share on a topline of $9.285 billion.
Meanwhile, earlier in the day Disney announced its finance chief, Tom Staggs, and the head of its parks division, Jay Rasulo, will soon swap jobs.
What's the trade?
For me it comes down to the multiple – do they deserve a 16 P/E, says Guy Adami. Personally, I think the stock is rich but others will tell you it’s a momentum play. It also comes down to the consumer and I don’t think the consumer is out of the woods, yet.
I don’t own Disney, adds Karen Finerman. I also think it’s rich though I do think the worst in advertising is behind us.

As the S&P 500 has gone above 1,100, it has had a hard time holding on to gains, remarks Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial.

It seems to me investors are wondering if the market can’t go above 1100 how much will it pull back, muses Pete Najarian.

] closed higher on Thursday after the retail giant posted a higher-than-expected quarterly profit.
However a tepid outlook from the nation's largest retailer triggered concerns about the strength of the consumer.
What’s the trade?
Walmart is doing everything right, muses Karen Finerman. The tepid guidance doesn’t worry me. I think it’s just management being conservative.
I like Walmart too, adds Tim Seymour. I especially like that they’re sniffing around Russia.

However the company did beat on revenue, helped by better sales and higher merchandise margins.
What’s the retail trade?
At 16 times forward earnings and a big short interest, I can see the shorts leaning into this stock, says Guy Adami.
But a pullback might be an opportunity in this name, adds Pete Najarian. When the shorts put pressure on a stock it can get too cheap. I’d also put TJX [TJX

"McDonald's made us better," Schultz said explaining that the McDonald's McCafe advertising blitz prompted many coffee drinkers to compare products from the two companies. He said that benefited Starbucks.
What’s the food and drink trade?
I think the stock should continue to the upside, speculates Pete Najarian. Their growth story remains in tact.
