Several major companies reported strong first-quarter earnings results, with Disney and Uber leading gains amid broader economic resilience across multiple sectors.

Disney posted revenue growth that exceeded analyst estimates in the first quarterly report under new CEO Josh D'Amaro. The entertainment giant's streaming services and theme parks drove the revenue beat, with D'Amaro outlining his growth strategy in a letter to shareholders that emphasized technology integration. Disney shares rose 6% following the earnings announcement.

Uber Technologies reported higher revenue and gross bookings as trip volumes and active user numbers continued to grow. The ride-hailing company issued second-quarter bookings guidance that exceeded expectations, leading to an 8% jump in its stock price. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi emphasized the company's long-term growth focus despite ongoing challenges in Middle East operations.

The restaurant sector also showed resilience, with Restaurant Brands International posting earnings that topped estimates, driven by a turnaround at Burger King. The company reported sharply higher profit and rising revenue. Separately, Bloomin' Brands and Dine Brands Global both recorded higher first-quarter revenue, supported by value offerings and menu updates that helped offset elevated costs and cautious consumer spending.

Other notable earnings included Instacart, which reported higher first-quarter revenue while noting that consumers were increasingly shopping at value-focused retailers. Marriott International raised its full-year outlook after posting higher first-quarter sales, citing stable travel demand. The New York Times also reported climbing profit and revenue, with gains in both subscription and advertising segments contributing to a 12% revenue increase to $712.2 million.
