Компания Mattel, Inc. демонстрирует сильные финансовые показатели по сравнению с отраслью. P/E на уровне 16.32 ниже медианы отрасли, что может указывать на недооцененность. Однако, высокий P/S и P/B, превышающие медиану, могут свидетельствовать о переоцененности компании. Эффективность, измеряемая ROE и ROA, значительно выше медианных значений, что подтверждает хорошие управленческие показатели. Тем не менее, высокий уровень долговой нагрузки (debt/equity) вызывает определенные риски. Дивиденды отсутствуют, что может негативно сказаться на привлекательности для инвесторов, ориентированных на доход. Тем не менее, рост выручки и чистой прибыли в последние годы подчеркивает положительную динамику. В целом, фундаментальные данные указывают на сильные стороны компании, но также подчеркивают некоторые риски, что требует аккуратного подхода к оценке ее потенциала.

Stock indexes settled mixed on Wednesday, with the S&P 500 posting a 2-week high and the Nasdaq 100 posting a 1-week high. Wednesday’s stronger-than-expected US Jan payrolls report pushed bond yields higher and dampened expectations for additional Fed interest rate cuts, weighing on stocks. The 10-year T-note yield rose +3 bp to 4.17%, and the chance of a Fed rate cut at next month’s FOMC meeting fell to 6% from 23% before Wednesday’s payroll report.

Stocks were supported by Wednesday’s better-than-expected monthly US jobs report that showed January nonfarm payrolls increased more than expected by the most in 13 months, and the unemployment rate unexpectedly declined, signaling a stable labor market.
Wednesday’s decline in software companies limited gains in the broader market and kept the Dow Jones Industrials in negative territory. Also, real estate service stocks sank on Wednesday amid concerns that the newest crop of artificial intelligence applications and tools could disrupt the industry.
US MBA mortgage applications fell -0.3% in the week ended February 6, with the purchase mortgage sub-index down -2.4% and the refinancing mortgage sub-index up +1.2%. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was unchanged from the prior week at 6.21%.

Comments today from Kansas City Fed President Jeff Schmid were bearish for stocks and bonds when he said, "In my view, further rate cuts risk allowing high inflation to persist even longer," so the Fed should hold rates at a "somewhat restrictive" level.
The markets this week will focus on corporate earnings results and economic news. On Thursday, initial weekly unemployment claims are expected to fall by -7,000 to 224,000.

Stocks Settle Mixed as Fed Rate Cut Chances Slip

Mattel, Inc. MAT reported fourth-quarter 2025 results, with earnings and revenues missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The top line increased year over year, while the bottom line declined from the prior-year quarter’s figure.
Following the results, the company's shares plunged 30.8% in the post-market trading session yesterday.
Negative investor sentiment was observed as management acknowledged that U.S. performance fell short of expectations, with December growth softer than anticipated. The company also cited margin and profitability pressure tied to higher discounting, inflation, foreign-exchange headwinds and inventory actions to support retailers, along with declines in certain categories such as Dolls and Infant, Toddler and Preschool. The company signaled that ongoing investments in digital games, technology and marketing are expected to pressure near-term margins.
Mattel’s Q4 Earnings & Sales Discussion
MAT reported an adjusted EPS of 39 cents, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 53 cents. It reported an adjusted EPS of 35 cents in the prior-year quarter.
Net sales amounted to $1.77 billion, missing the consensus estimate of $1.84 billion. The top line increased 7% on a reported basis and 5% in constant currency (cc) basis year over year.
Mattel, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Net sales in the North America segment increased 5% year over year on a reported basis and at cc. The International segment’s net sales increased 11% year over year on a reported basis and 5% year over year at cc.
In the North America segment, gross billings increased 7% (as reported and at cc) year over year. This upside was attributed to a rise in Dolls, Vehicles, Action Figures, Building Sets, Games and Other.
Gross billings in the International segment increased 10% year over year on a reported basis and 4% at cc. The uptick was primarily driven by a rise in gross billings in the EMEA, Latin America and Asia Pacific regions.
MAT’s Category-Wise Worldwide Sales

Stocks Turn Mixed as Software Stocks Slide

Legendary investor Warren Buffett advises to be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful. One way we can try to measure the level of fear in a given stock is through a technical analysis indicator called the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which measures momentum on a scale of zero to 100.

Mattel (MAT) Q4 2025 Earnings Call Transcript

Mattel (MAT) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.18 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.27 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.53 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -33.33%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this toy maker would post earnings of $0.73 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.82, delivering a surprise of 12.33%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
Mattel, which belongs to the Zacks Toys - Games - Hobbies industry, posted revenues of $1.4 billion for the quarter ended December 2022, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 15.44%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $1.79 billion. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Mattel shares have added about 16.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.5%.
What's Next for Mattel?
While Mattel has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Mattel: unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.06 on $951.6 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.60 on $5.85 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Toys - Games - Hobbies is currently in the bottom 5% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Jakks Pacific (JAKK), is yet to report results for the quarter ended December 2022.
This toymaker is expected to post quarterly loss of $1.49 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -1164.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 11.4% lower over the last 30 days to the current level.
Jakks Pacific's revenues are expected to be $81.3 million, down 56.8% from the year-ago quarter.

Mattel Inc. Profit Drops In Q4

Key Points
A monumental Supreme Court ruling on the Trump administration's tariffs could be handed down this week.
Should the high court reverse Trump's reciprocal tariffs, many stocks could soar.
However, any surge could be short-lived.
"The Oracle of Omaha" never claimed to have any oracular powers. I'm referring, of course, to Warren Buffett. The legendary investor wrote in a 2008 New York Times op-ed, "I can't predict the short-term movements of the stock market. I haven't the faintest idea as to whether stocks will be higher or lower a month or a year from now."
I agree with Buffett and his approach to investing. I don't know what the stock market will do over the next month or year. Don't look to me for any help with market timing. However, I do have an idea about what may happen this week. I predict the stock market will soar on Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2026 – but only if one specific thing happens.

A monumental decision
Many observers expected the Supreme Court to hand down its decision on a challenge to President Trump's levying of global tariffs using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) last week. That didn't happen. However, the nation's highest court will announce some rulings on Wednesday. The odds appear to be good that the tariff decision will be among them.
There are three key issues behind the challenges to the president's tariffs:
The U.S. Constitution explicitly grants the authority to levy taxes (and tariffs are essentially taxes on imports) to the U.S. Congress.
The IEEPA, on which the tariffs are based, doesn't even mention the word "tariffs."
While Congress gave the executive branch some authority over international trade with the IEEPA, the president can only take actions in response to emergencies. Opponents contend that Trump's tariffs don't address emergencies.
Two lower federal courts have already ruled against the Trump administration. Online betting platform Polymarket shows a 72% that the Supreme Court will uphold those decisions.
Trump posted on Truth Social on Monday, "If the Supreme Court rules against the United States of America on this National Security bonanza, WE'RE SCREWED." Some, however, view the court's decision as crucial in upholding the separation of powers between U.S. government branches established by the country's founders.
Why the stock market could soar
I predict the stock market will soar on Wednesday if the Supreme Court announces that it's overturning the White House's tariffs based on the IEEPA. Why? Many investors would breathe a big sigh of relief if the tariffs were reversed.
Moody's Analytics (NYSE: MCO) chief economist Mark Zandi blames the stagnant job market in large part on the Trump administration's tariffs. He posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Jan. 11, 2026, "There has been no job growth (and likely job declines after all the revisions are in), as measured by either the payroll or household employment data, since Liberation Day last April, following the President's announcement of significant reciprocal tariffs."
Unemployment has indeed increased since earlier this year, as Zandi argues. He believes that "the fastest way to boost the job market would be for the Supreme Court to declare the reciprocal tariffs unlawful." Usually, what's good for the job market is also good for the stock market.
Which stocks could benefit the most from a Supreme Court decision overturning the tariffs? Potential examples include Mattel (NASDAQ: MAT) and Nike (NYSE: NKE), which import heavily from China, and UPS (NYSE: UPS), whose most profitable trading lane is between China and the U.S.
However, it's possible that stocks that don't have strong connections with imports could also jump. Lower tariffs could ease concerns about inflation and potentially give the Federal Reserve more flexibility to lower interest rates further, according to Clear Street analyst Owen Lau. Lower interest rates would help many companies.
A temporary boost?
Investors shouldn't get too excited about the prospects of the Supreme Court rolling back the reciprocal tariffs, though. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent believes the Trump administration "can recreate the exact tariff structure" in jeopardy by basing tariffs on other federal regulations.
For example, Sections 301 and 302 of the Trade Act of 1974 allow the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) to impose tariffs if an investigation determines that a country has implemented unfair trade policies that harm the U.S. However, there are some restrictions in the legislation that could hinder the Trump administration's ability to impose tariffs as easily and broadly as it would like.
It seems to be a pretty safe bet that more tariffs will be on the way to replace any tariffs nixed by the Supreme Court, assuming the court rules against the White House. If so, any post-ruling boost for the stock market is likely to be only temporary.
