A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after investor sentiment improved on renewed optimism that the US-China trade conflict might be nearing a resolution. According to reports, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reinforced this positive outlook by describing the trade war as "unsustainable," and emphasized that a potential agreement between the two economic powers "was possible." His comments signaled to markets that both sides might be motivated to seek common ground, raising expectations for reduced tariffs and more stability across markets.
Cliff Engle will oversee the company’s global distribution and logistics operations as it implements tariff mitigation strategies.
Shares of Hasbro (NASDAQ: HAS), Mattel (NASDAQ: MAT), and Funko (NASDAQ: FNKO) were getting crushed today as investors reacted to President Donald Trump's announcement of reciprocal tariffs last night. Consumer discretionary stocks are getting hit especially hard since many of these products are imported from abroad, and consumers don't need to buy them. Toys are an especially discretionary category so it wasn't surprising to see shares of Hasbro, Mattel, and Funko all falling sharply today.
Pop culture collectibles manufacturer Funko (NASDAQ:FNKO) beat Wall Street’s revenue expectations in Q4 CY2024, but sales were flat year on year at $293.7 million. On the other hand, next quarter’s revenue guidance of $193 million was less impressive, coming in 21.5% below analysts’ estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $0.03 per share was 2 cents below analysts’ consensus estimates.
2024 was another stellar year for investors, but a lot of money is piling into the same places in the U.S. and globally.
