Disney, Apple may not stop the bleeding: Traders
Dow titans Walt Disney and Apple have lost momentum recently, and "Fast Money" traders debated whether their stocks had any pop left.
Disney shares slid 4 percent Wednesday after the media giant missed estimates for quarterly profit and sales. Apple, meanwhile, has shed 12 percent of its value this year, partly after disappointing earnings and guidance.
Traders discussed the stocks' merit.
Disney
Trader Guy Adami said he would not sell Disney, yet. Trader Karen Finerman added she does not "like the Disney risk-reward here," citing uncertainty about its ESPN sports network and who will succeed CEO Bob Iger when his contract expires in 2018.
Apple
Apple has struggled lately, and concerns about sales of its flagship iPhone have weighed on shares. The stock has fallen nearly 27 percent in the last year.
"Why not short it here?" Adami asked.
Trader Tim Seymour, though, said he bought Apple shares last week amid weakness. He highlighted the company's services revenue as a "small but bright spot."
Finerman added she preferred both Facebook and Alphabet to either stock. She owns shares of both technology companies.
