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

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.

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...
