The Walt Disney Co.'s first fiscal quarter of 2010, which ended Jan. 2, ended nearly flat with the previous year. Disney reported net earnings of $844 million, although overall revenue rose 1 percent to $9.74 billion. The overall numbers beat analysts’ predictions, particularly after two losing quarters. Disney’s modest improvements were largely due to its television and interactive divisions and the cost-cutting measures of the film studio and domestic home entertainment units.
