Mattel has experienced a mixed quarter, with a slight miss in revenue expectations being counterbalanced by a strong earnings beat, primarily propelled by robust gross margins. This indicates that the company has been able to manage its cost structure effectively, despite the top-line challenges. However, management's downward revision of revenue guidance could raise some concerns among investors about future growth prospects. On a positive note, the upgraded outlook for gross margins suggests that the company is focused on improving profitability, which could bode well for long-term investor sentiment. Overall, while earnings performance remains strong, the lowered revenue outlook might lead to cautious optimism in the market.
They just delivered sub-optimal numbers. Suffered supply chain shortages last year. Maybe there was less demand after Covid? We knew things were bad when they pulled their forecast last October. Q4 revenue was down 22% YOY and an 11-cent earnings miss. Their latest full-year forecast is weaker.
Not too long ago this company was on their short list. They are in trouble. They blown up their balance sheet and the returns are terrible. Hasbro (HAS-Q) has put up a potential bid out there and it would make a lot of sense. Your best hope is that buyout. It’s too risky. Maybe they will just wait for them to go bankrupt and pick the assets. They are really not in great shape.
(A Top Pick Feb 9/17. Down 38%.) This has been a dog this year. One problem is e-commerce on big box stores. Also, they have new management that is still trying to correct their brands and turn around sales. The new CEO is a former Google executive, and is bringing in a completely different attitude and vision to the toy industry. Barbie, American Girl and Fisher-Price have great brand power, and should and could be used better in a digital world where the company can earn more money.
