As you may know, MAT took a nice 12% drop today (and 20% for the month) due to disappointing earnings. Who would have thought that Barbie (
) wasn't selling?
HAS is down 10% for the month but analyst expectations are still pretty good. HAS seems to be focusing more on movies, licensing and electronic games while my first impression is that MAT is more focused on their existing products (toys) and board games.
I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around where the toy/doll/board game market is going 5-10 years from now.
What are your thoughts on where these companies' business models are going and do you think MAT is a long-term buy here?

“While the dividend itself is merely a rearrangement of equity, over time it's more like owning an apple tree. The tree grows the apples back again and again and again, and the theoretical value of the tree doesn't change just because of when the apples are about to fall.” - earthtodan
