Disney’s strong quarterly numbers, especially the rebound of its theme parks to 2019 levels of revenue and operating income, propelled a 3% gain for its stock despite the gloom on Wall Street.The stock, which is a Dow component and a bellwether for consumer sentiment, finished at $152.25.
It extended its rally from mid-January, when it slipped below $130 to establish a new 52-week low.
