Disney Beats Estimates....

Walt Disney Co. (DIS). The Burbank, CA-based entertainment company reported Tuesday fiscal first-quarter net income of $1.25 billion, or 66 cents a share, down from $1.7 billion, or 83 cents a share in the year-earlier period.

Excluding non-recurring items, adjusted earnings were 63 cents a share, compared with the mean estimate of analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial of 52 cents a share. Revenue for the quarter ending Dec. 31 rose 9% to $10.45 billion from last year's $9.58 billion.

Disney is up 1.80 to $31.80 premarket...helping give the Dow a lift this morning.
