Heading into today, shares of the entertainment company had gained 3.35% over the past month, outpacing the Consumer Discretionary sector's loss of 3.63% and the S&P 500's loss of 0.13% in that time.

Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $4.22 per share and revenue of $84.03 billion. These totals would mark changes of +84.28% and +24.65%, respectively, from last year.
