'Fast Money' Recap: Disney Deserves to Go Higher

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Walt Disney (DIS) shares were falling in after-hours trading on Tuesday after a revenue miss.

Despite the miss, Guy Adami said on CNBC's "Fast Money" TV show that Disney posted a big EPS beat and was a "screaming buy" if the broader market moves higher.

Karen Finerman said Disney deserves a premier valuation because it's a premier company. Finerman, who owns the stock, said she's impressed with the synergy of the company, which has many different businesses, some of which are functional and some not.

Dan Nathan noted that Disney shares traded well into earnings, down about 1%.
