Read MoreHide Full Article

More earnings reports hit the tape this afternoon, following a day that showed some significant push-back on the big market sell-off of the last three regular sessions. Will these companies reporting after the close -- The Walt Disney Co. (DIS - Free Report) , Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG - Free Report) , Snap Inc. (SNAP - Free Report) and Gilead Sciences (GILD - Free Report) -- catch a break in after-hours trading?

Disney topped expectations on its top and bottom lines Tuesday, posting $1.89 per share on $15.35 billion in revenues, ahead of the $1.62 per share and $15.24 billion expected. Quarterly sales were up 4% overall, buoyed by a 13% increase in Parks & Resorts. This was augmented somewhat by lower figures in Studio Entertainment and Consumer Products/Interactive Media. Shares are trading up 2.8% in the late session. For more on DIS's earnings, click here.

Chipotle, on the other hand, put up mixed Q4 results, beating easily on the bottom line -- $1.55 per share vs. $1.33 expected -- while narrowly missing on the top -- $1.1 billion vs. the $1.12 billion we had been expecting. But comparable store sales (comps) from the year-ago quarter were a disappointing +0.9%, and comps guidance for the coming year is for "low single digits." Nevertheless, we see shares trading up 1.2% in after-hours. For more on CMG's earnings, click here.

Snap posted a two-cent beat on its bottom line this afternoon when it unveiled a loss of 13 cents per share as opposed to the -15 cents expected. Revenues zoomed up 72% year over year to $285.7 million from the $251.7 million we had anticipated. Investors have returned the favor, spiking Snap shares up nearly 23% in late trading.

Gilead also topped expectations, with $1.78 earnings per share posting an 8-cent beat (although still down big year over year), on revenues of $5.9 billion which outpaced the Zacks consensus $5.78 billion. This, even with a tax adjustment charge of $5.5 billion and a cash dividend upped 10%. For more on GILD's earnings, click here.
