Hasbro Inc. shares surged 11.20% to close at $109.52, marking a new 52-week high. The primary driver was a strong third-quarter earnings report that exceeded expectations, accompanied by a raised full-year outlook and a doubled share buyback target.
What Happened
Hasbro reported fiscal Q3 2026 revenue of $1.60 billion, surpassing estimates of $1.48 billion. Adjusted EPS came in at $2.90, well above the consensus estimate of $1.86. The company attributed the performance to record sales in its Wizards of the Coast segment, where Magic: The Gathering revenue topped $600 million for the first time. Management raised its 2026 guidance and increased its annual share repurchase target from $200 million to $400 million, citing continued cash flow strength. The stock outperformed competitors on the day, contributing to a broader market rally alongside other strong earnings reports.
What The Data Shows
The stock closed at $109.52, above its previous 52-week high of $106.98, with a current market capitalization of $13.9 billion. Valuation metrics include a P/E ratio of 17.6 and a dividend yield of 2.84%. Trailing twelve-month revenue growth stands at 17.0%, with a net margin of 16.0%. Over the last eight sessions, the stock has climbed 17.6% from $93.14. Unusual options activity included 10 notable prints in the last 36 hours, with $8.4 million in put premium versus $1.0 million in call premium. Insider activity over the last 90 days shows eight sales totaling $6.9 million and no buys, while one congressional sale was disclosed in June.
What To Watch
Investors will monitor the company’s execution on its expanded buyback program and the sustainability of Magic: The Gathering growth. With the stock now trading at a 52-week high, attention will turn to how the market digests the raised 2026 outlook and whether the recent momentum continues in the coming sessions.
