Hasbro's (HAS) Q2 Earnings & Revenues Beat Estimates

Read MoreHide Full Article

Hasbro Inc. (HAS - Free Report) along with its subsidiaries, provides children’s and family leisure time products and services globally. Hasbro’s product segments comprise Games, Girls, Preschool and Boys categories.

Given Hasbro’s strong product line-up, which includes its core brands, licensed brands and lucrative product associations, the company remains well positioned for future growth. Moreover, the company’s consistent efforts to establish its global presence through strategic partnerships and rapid growth in emerging markets bode well.

However, lack of growth in some of its businesses and an increase in costs related to initiatives undertaken to boost its business remain primary concerns.

Investors should note that the consensus estimate for Hasbro has hardly witnessed any significant movement over the last 60 days. Meanwhile, HAS’s earnings have been strong over the past few quarters. In fact, the company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all of the last four quarters, with an average beat of 20.92%. Revenues also posted positive surprises in all of the trailing four quarters.
