Mattel (MAT) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Mattel, Inc. (MAT - Free Report) is scheduled to report first-quarter 2020 results on May 5, after the closing bell.
Q1 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter is pegged at a loss of 42 cents, compared with a loss of 44 cents reported in the year-ago quarter. Over the past 30 days, the company’s earnings estimates have been revised upward by a penny. For quarterly revenues, the consensus mark stands at $651.5 million, suggesting a decline of 5.5% from prior-year quarter.
Factors to Note
Dismal worldwide gross sales of Fisher-Price and Thomas & Friends Brand are likely to get reflected in the first-quarter results. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Fisher-Price and Thomas & Friends Brand gross sales are likely to decline nearly 3.5% to $166 million. Moreover, the company’s Barbie and Hot Wheels Brands gross sales stands at $163 million and $150 million, down 0.6% and 0.7% year over year, respectively. Moreover, softness in North America sales might to have persisted in the quarter to be reported.
High costs and stiff competition from an array of alternative modes of entertainment including video games, MP3 players, tablets, smartphones and other electronic devices are likely to weigh on the first-quarter results.
Our proven model predicts an earnings beat for Mattel this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat.
