Magic in Disney's stock?

All eyes are on Disney (NYSE: DIS) as the company prepares to report Q3 earnings today after the bell.

Despite a series of blockbuster hits including "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," and "Finding Dory," ESPN subscriber growth concerns continue to be a barrier to entry for many investors.

Since CEO Bob Iger first raised concerns over ESPN last August, shares of Disney (NYSE: DIS) have fallen 21%.

So, is there any magic left in the stock?

The "Halftime Report" experts debated if you should buy the Mouse House ahead of earnings.
