Shares of Walt Disney Co. $(DIS)$ shot up 6.1% in premarket trading Wednesday, after the entertainment and media giant reported fiscal second-quarter results that were well above expectations and raised its full-year outlook, and was upbeat about its upcoming movie slate and new ESPN offering.

The company said adjusted earnings per share for the quarter to March 29 rose to $1.45 from $1.21 in the same period a year ago, to beat the average analyst estimate compiled by FactSet of $1.19. And revenue grew 7% to $23.6 billion, above the FactSet consensus of $23.09 billion.

For fiscal 2025, the company now expects adjusted EPS to increase 16% to $5.75, which is better than Disney's previous guidance for growth in the high-single digit percentage range.
