Snap just surprised Wall Street by beating expectations on both revenue and user growth, sending its stock surging. At the same time, Disney crushed its earnings report thanks to a massive blockbuster in 'Toy Story 5,' proving that tech and media companies can still deliver explosive growth.

## Idea

When companies significantly beat expectations on revenue and user growth, it signals underlying business momentum that usually lasts well beyond the initial pop. Snap's success shows digital advertising spending is holding up, which benefits the entire social media and streaming space. Disney's blowout proves that massive entertainment franchises can still deliver huge surprises to the upside. Buying companies with strong post-earnings momentum — especially in the media and tech sectors — allows traders to ride the wave of institutional buying that typically follows a big beat.
