MAT: Bull or Bear?

Mattel's American Girl an ace in the hole MAT

+57.74% in 304 days Filed under: Newsletters, Mattel, Inc (MAT), Stocks to Buy Recently, I took my daughter to the American Girl store at the Mall of America here in Minneapolis. This was no regular trip to the store. This was an event. We made reservations for lunch at the café, and the night before she readied her Kit Kittredge doll with a new outfit and hairdo. I had no idea how big of a deal this was going to be, but I was looking forward to finding out what the fuss was all about.

Will Hasbro's stock continue to perform? MAT

+14.56% in 515 days Filed under: Mattel, Inc (MAT), Hasbro Inc (HAS), Stocks to Buy CNNMoney over the weekend reviewed the first half of the year for the markets. Among its lists of winners and losers, one stock got my attention. <>Believe it or not, Hasbro (NYSE: HAS), a competitor of Mattel (NYSE: MAT) and JAKKS Pacific (NASDAQ: JAKK), was up quite nicely through the end of June. How nice? The stock increased in value by almost 40%. That's impressive, but is it persuasive? What I mean is, should one believe that the company's first-half strength is an undeniable indication that the trend will continue for the re... Continue reading »

If Its Mattel It's Not Swell MAT

-9.15% in 819 days Mattel (MAT) has become the latest poster child for a grossly mismanaged supply chain. Yes they have been sourcing in China to take advantage of low wages and other efficiencies. But somehow the drive to efficiency allowed them to lose control over their products and actually endanger innocent children. This is a major management failing. Yes we can engage in China bashing. Yes there have been some unacceptable substances such as lead found in toys and their components. Yes there are some bad actors in China who appear to have no scruples. But the biggest problem is Mattel'... Continue reading »

Mattel Not So Swell MAT

-18.49% in 203 days (closed on 09/07/07) Mattel Inc (NYSE:MAT) served up some psuedo good results. EPS is up but the number was partially tricked by reducing total amount of shares outstanding. Income before taxes increased from $652 million to $683 million. The provision for taxes dropped dramatically from $235 million to $91 million. I almost never believe huge drops in income tax when they happen and fully expect some restatement in the future. This low level of taxation will probably not hold in future quarters. Management essentially makes no comment about it in the press release and probably does not want to talk about... Continue reading »
