The market jumped Thursday morning as entertainment conglomerate Disney popped 6% following its quarterly earnings report and news of a company reorganization — and more in Wednesday’s stock market recap.

The Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) posted a smaller-than-expected subscriber loss and beat both earnings and revenue estimates. Shortly after reporting, the company announced plans to reorganize into three segments, cut 7,000 jobs and slash costs by $5.5 billion.

Food and beverage company PepsiCo Inc. (Nasdaq: PEP) also reported better-than-expected results, causing shares to rise 2%.

PayPal Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: PYPL), Lyft Inc. (Nasdaq: LYFT) and Expedia Group Inc. (Nasdaq: EXPE) all report after the market close on Thursday.

In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll discuss if earnings data is coming out better or worse than expected… what the Federal Reserve believes will happen with rates in the near term… which sector I’m bullish on and which one I believe will decline… sectors I’m avoiding right now… which index is showing the most vulnerability and why… plus my top ETF and options pick for Thursday!

P.S. Bargains DO Exist in the Market 

I love a good bargain, don’t you?

And thanks to this mismatch, even a tiny 1% move in a stock could lead to gains as high as 31%… 41%… even 46% or more in a matter of days.

I’m holding a special presentation at 1 p.m. ET today, Feb. 9, to show this “pricing mismatch” in action and how to apply it to options trades. So if you love a good bargain…
